But I think Perth people kind of pride themselves on being more laid back!

I've always wanted to visit Australia. I find it so strange having lived in the USA my whole life that the stores would not be open on Sundays...but I can see how maybe that commercialism would deter some purists who want to keep Perth, as you call it, "sleepy."Devon Riesenbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403884662501199270.post-31895501013446161002012-08-27T11:15:21.402+10:002012-08-27T11:15:21.402+10:00It is nice to have back-up at the shops, trying to...It is nice to have back-up at the shops, trying to shop with kids in tow by yourself is a recipe for disaster!!Yellow_Dandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403884662501199270.post-82415859066254801412012-08-27T11:13:30.086+10:002012-08-27T11:13:30.086+10:00I think that the award rates for Sundays are a lit...I think that the award rates for Sundays are a little crazy, especially seeing I know tons of high school and uni students who would prefer to work on Sundays. I agree that shopping has become a hobby, and people should get out and about more, but I know that it is also hard for working families who don't get a chance to get to the shops during the week.

If people were going to shop on Saturday, they just get lazy and instead go to the shops on Sunday! It doesn't mean that consumers have more to spend!! Retailers are paid approx $42 per hour on Sunday so the retailers have to make a huge amount to justify opening, hence many small businesses just can't justify opening. Also I think that the retailers should be given a day off to spend with their families - a lot of these people are expected to work Sundays as it is not a voluntary thing.Find something else to do on a Sunday! Shopping has sadly become a hobby. Go to the park, go for a bike ride, etc etc!! Enjoy something other than shopping!kwoo77noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403884662501199270.post-79140013622752180492012-08-25T18:41:12.968+10:002012-08-25T18:41:12.968+10:00I am so excited!!!
