Shopping hours
Sir, —We write in relation to shop trading hours, and ask, “Where is the public demand?”. It is said, by those who know, that the public desires extended trading hours. Yet everything we have seen to date suggests that shop trading hours are not a public issue, and that the public does not care anyway. At present the public does not fully use the hours available to them on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. ! Are we as members of the public expected to believe we want more shopping hours when! we do not use all; the hours available? Are we as retail-shop employees supposed to give up our whole lives so that others can have more of that which they do not fully use) now? We are against any extension to the shop trading hours because the public obviously do not use the hours available to thjem at present. — Yours, etc., MALCOLM WILLIAMS, and 51 other retail employees. April 241 1988.
