2 side stories:

My ex got a job at sears circa 1970s. They told her in orientation they would never open on Sunday so that employees could spend the day with their families. Three months later they opened on the sunday after Thanksgiving and never closed on Sunday again.

I was addicted to chocolate covered peanuts and not f Sears stores had a candy counter. My ex got assigned to candy. There was an investigation of $2700 missing in one week from the candy department. I couldn’t eat THAT much. The manager was fired for stealing money daily.

After getting out of the service ('69) and a couple years of college, I managed a mall retail store.
We closed on Saturdays at 6pm, and closed Sundays and holidays.
After a couple of years the mall required all stores to open Saturday til 9pm, Sundays and holidays.
Screw that. I quit and went back to finish my degree.

Seems like they'd quit hiring him back every day.
