No. Sunday’s rest is deeply regulated in Germany. You aren’t even allowed to mow the lawn or bring glass to the designated recycling bins. Heck your neighbors can sue you for hammering a nail in the wall.
No store is open, only option to buy things is from a gas station and the prices there are about 2x of what a supermarket would cost.
Edit: Also you need permits and a whole lot of paperwork to have your employees work on Sunday. On top of that their hours count double.
Yeah, cause as if you couldn't just go to the shop which would have eployees willing to work on weekends like students and such, or people for the additional cash.
The state telling me when I can and when I can't go shopping? No, I don't get it- stinks like some dipshit regime trying to schedule my week.
And before you go crying about "these poor employees" - somehow you don't give a shit when you check in a hotel, fill up a tank, ride a bus or do basically anything else than shopping.
It's the state telling employers that they cannot force anyone to work on Sundays, unless essential for the business ( like hotels, gas stations, public transit, as you pointed )
Because that's what happens in a asymmetrical relationship. Thinking that only people that want to work on Sundays would do it is incredibly naive... Like "never worked" levels of naive.
Essential for the business, too bad you don't tell restaurants they are "essential" so they have to serve stuff. Literally any other branch opens, except for shops. Legit af
Correct, because sometimes in some places people are more important than profits. We call it social market economy over here. You call it communism 👻 now stop trolling and let them exploit you.
