I seem to get the impression that such justification is rather typical on
USENET.  People do respond to just about any posting.

Incidentally, I too do not think that Sunday openings are a wonderful idea.
Not that it really stinks, but that it will hurt employees in retail
operations.  They will certainly be the ones singled out to work on Sundays.
If everyone else were working Sundays, who would be available to buy anything?
The reason why this all is a popular idea is that few people actually work on
Sunday.  If they start to do so (notably as retailers), then there is no more
advantage to being open on Sunday.  I think that this may well be a
hulla-balloed thing that will turn out much less nice than it initially
seems.
