These superstores that only have 6 hours of trading on a Sunday are still allowed to have staff in stacking shelves etc.

When I was a grocery bagger, back in the late-ish '60s, we had three grocery stores in town. They rotated being open for six hours on Sunday afternoon, noon to 6 PM. (NOT during church-goin' hours, ya hear?) and I was always the guy who showed up at ten AM to help get the store ready to open. The company gave me a bonus for this because I was "foregoing normal Sunday routine".

You can buy beer on a Sunday all day (with a license) in the UK but what you can't currently do is buy a bible!

Wasn't that changed with the 1994 Act?

So once a week you had to masturbate in the shower a little earlier than usual, and for that you got a bonus. Sweet deal.
