If you're going to keep on looking for one, why SHOULD the store be open on Sunday? It costs extra to work on Sunday. It would matter if you, not finding it, went somewhere else and bought something else. But you won't, so why should they spend more money on you?

Sorry if I sound cynical, but it's pretty basic economics.

I think that, in the big picture, all the wide variety of systems we used to use to manage our culture are getting replaced, one by one, with economic motivations only. And economic motivations ALWAYS look that bad, compared to a civil society.
