    but what fraction of those people are those that wouldn’t just go the day before or after closure instead?

    The only gain the store is making is customers who need something that day and will go to another open store instead

      Exactly…? If no one goes in, the store gains no benefit (only expending the cost of being open). But stores will open just on the off chance of customers coming in. And customers do go in, because the stores are open. Sometimes they go in and don’t even buy anything.

      If you want retail employees to be able to spend holidays with their families, don’t go shopping on holidays. Make it unprofitable to be open.

        nah. I’m not taking responsibility for shit management. I don’t care if they’re open or not, and I think they shouldn’t be, and it doesn’t change how much money I spend at their store, so they should close to save the labour costs. but it ain’t my responsibility.
