first let me say that I’m Swiss, leaning on the left and I think it’s important that there are labour protections so that people don’t work crazy hours. for the life of me I will never not get annoyed that shops close at 16.00 or 17.00 on Saturdays, even in Zurich, the biggest city and one of the most visited by tourists. And when it’s a million degrees outside who wants to go to shops at 14.00? seriously, what the hell? it feels like shop owners just don’t want to make any money. I think it should be possible to open until 19.00, and our labour laws would pay anyone who works beyond 07.00-19.00 mon-sat double pay, and shop owners can open until 22.00 if they want to, even on Sundays, if it makes financial sense for them? am I stupid? rant over submitted by /u/Impossible_Rain_7723
