And you prefer Sunday opening and I don't.

By that you mean that if you don't want to work on Sundays, then quit your
job. You might not be aware of this, but in many lines of work (apart 
from computer science) it is not all that easy to get a job. For 
many parents, they will have to choose between not spending 
time with their children and starving. Yes, they will choose 
to work on Sundays and not starve.  I personally know many families who
would be put in such positions just because a bunch of retaliers
want to make more money.
