  Double standards are often applied in this area. Try running a pub and not being open every minute of every day when customers want a drink. If only people worried about pub staff in the same way as they do about supermarket staff.
  
  The overwhelming majority of supermarket staff are part-timers. Increasing opening hours in the long term will lead to more part time jobs, although in the short term some who don't usually work Sundays may have to do so. I don't see that as exploitation, there has to be flexibility on both sides.
  
  The real world, Keith is this one: if a business is prevented from opening on Sundays by the refusal of staff to work Sunday shifts, while its competitors are not, that company will lose market share and its gross profitability will decline. That will inevitably mean fewer jobs in that business.
