As we are now a multi-cultural, multi-religion (and none) society is it right that we should all be bound by such sectarian laws or should business and commerce be separated from religious beliefs? And are Spar employees/customers in some way less obligated (morally) to be bound by Christian tradition than those of larger shops? The logic behind this is very puzzling!

I am sure it's been pointed out before but it's to do with the laws! Big shops aren't allowed but smaller corner shops are.
But don't you value peace - peace of one or two days a year when big supermarkets are closed! I live next door to one so I value the time they are closed.
