Charles Roberts33 said:Sure, but what kind of compensation are we talking about? The women working in those stores are making absolute peanuts. Generally speaking, every lowlife takes advantage of them because they can—from managers down to the rude customers. They’re "so protected," right? It’s almost funny. I guess that’s why turnover is so high at those "prestigious" jobs. God forbid I ever get treated with that much "protection."
I’m all for working when there isn't a pandemic, including Sundays and holidays. It doesn't bother me; nobody is forcing my hand. If I wanted less money, I’d work less, but then I certainly wouldn't be pulling shifts on Sundays and holidays.
But poor guy only has six days a week to buy his stuff, it's tough. What if he runs out of yogurt and bananas on a Sunday? What's he gonna do then? Don't be such a jerk.
restlesssurfer97 said:Honestly, I’m thinking Sunday is going to be the absolute peak for all those massive shopping malls, so that’s probably when we’ll see people getting handed their walking papers in droves.
And you know it’s gonna ripple out to everything else too, like the food courts, the restaurants, the movie theaters, even the local bars... everything's gonna feel the hit.
It’s looking grim.
Poor America, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia... the whole damn thing is going downhill fast.

restlesssurfer97 said:All those employees could show up to a referendum every single day if they wanted to, they'd just walk straight up to their manager and hand in their resignation.
Let's all just head out to a referendum ourselves and demand they scrap the sales tax entirely, because you know how much everyone would save, I'm telling you, turnout would be a solid 100%.
Yeah, right. Like it's actually that easy.
restlesssurfer97 said:And honestly, hearing someone call me a drama queen is hilarious coming from someone who basically wants the government to ban Sunday shifts just so they can spend all day cuddling with their girlfriend 😂
Look, it doesn't even have to be a ban—let's just hold a referendum for retail workers and see what actually happens.
Matthew Young35 said:Why does that matter?
Do you think because I spend my days repairing tillers, I don't have a family?
Am I somehow less worthy, such that the Church... or the government, shouldn't want to ban Sunday labor?
Buddy, you've got nothing going for you.
restlesssurfer97 said:I don't see what any of that has to do with anything, honestly, because half the shops over in the States are closed up tight on Sundays anyway, so are we trying to be like them or just some weird halfway version of them
Oh yeah, those poor Germans are totally collapsing because everything shuts down on Sundays... right. As if their whole economy isn't basically held together by church bells and tradition.
restlesssurfer97 said:And honestly, that’s why I think the government should just ban working on Sundays altogether. Just saying.
But what about the rest of us? Is money really more important than everything else in this damn life? It's not like they're banning everyone from working—just those damn retail shops. Who do you think you are, some kind of royal queen?
restlesssurfer97 said:Look, Matthew Young35, GQ, and I all want to get some work done on Sundays, and it feels like you guys are just trying to strip away that freedom from us.
So, are you working retail?
Matthew Young35 said:The right to rest? Absolutely. But why does it have to be Sunday?
Why shouldn't I be allowed to work on a Sunday if that's what I want to do?
Maybe it's because people have partners who don't work Sundays at all—so while they're off, they end up spending that time alone instead of with their significant other. Or maybe their partner works the opposite shift, so they barely see each other anyway. Even if they both have Sundays off, sometimes you can't even get one full day together with the whole family, etc., etc.
restlesssurfer97 said:Personal freedom will always trump government mandates when it comes to your own life, because if you’re actually struggling, then sure, go ahead and call up Washington to get them to step in 🤣
I mean, having the actual choice to decide whether or not you want to work on a Sunday is infinitely better than just having the state step in and ban Sunday shifts altogether.
But seriously, what kind of "freedom of choice" are we actually talking about here?
Matthew Young35 said:Personally, I couldn't care less if it's Sunday or a Wednesday.
So why bring up the "holy" aspect?
Because the clergy started this initiative, and they happen to be the loudest voices in the room.
The union hacks just latched onto the movement; I wouldn't bet against the idea that the Vatican provided them with funding or some other form of incentive to fall in line.
you are seriously twisted
restlesssurfer97 said:I mean, okay, let's say we actually ban Sunday work, what happens then, does every greedy boss out there suddenly decide to start handing out pink slips, or are they all just going to undergo this massive moral transformation and become better people overnight? 😕
Honestly, someone needs to step up and make four o'clock the new standard end time for work—just let us clock out after lunch so we can hit the park for a bit and then catch an evening mass. 🙂
Matthew Young35 said:So, if that's the case, why on earth would they work on a Sunday?
Working on a Sunday isn't mandatory.
Why bother doing it if there’s no profit in it?
It pays off because labor is dirt cheap and they barely pay any overtime for Sundays.
Laura Chavez93 said:What do you mean, "reduced revenue"? 🤷 If I don't buy something today, I'll just pick it up another day...
I fail to see the logic in claiming revenues will drop just because business isn't conducted on one specific day. 😵
Oh yeah, and don't forget—Sundays are usually the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to revenue. Total washout compared to the rest of the week.

The researchers behind this study crunched the numbers on nearly 5,700 people hospitalized between March 1st and April 4th. They focused specifically on the 2,634 cases where folks either passed away or were discharged. Out of those, 320 patients were hooked up to ventilators—and get this—88.1% of them didn't make it. For the seniors over 65 on life support, the mortality rate hit a staggering 97.2%, according to the study. Meanwhile, for patients in that same age bracket who weren't on a ventilator, the death rate was "only" 26.6%.
So, how many people actually died on ventilators in the US? But hey, don't hold your breath waiting for an answer—total radio silence on that one.
