"Do you think that shopping Sundays should come back?"

Since 2018, Poles can only shop on selected Sundays throughout the year. The Civic Coalition wants to lift the ban on Sunday trading, but promises that every employee will have two weekends off per month and receive double pay for working on days off. On the other hand, the Third Way suggests paying higher wages for employees who work on Sundays or granting additional days off. In opposition to these ideas, the Law and Justice (PiS) party, which introduced the ban on Sunday trading several years ago, stands.

What do you think about bringing back Sunday trading? Do you support this idea?

"With proper time management, there is no need to do shopping on Sundays. Unless someone really enjoys spending their time that way, it's a matter of personal preference. I don't have very pleasant memories of the times when I had to work on Sundays."

How can someone be forced to work on Sunday? Big stores are open for several hours every day. Everyone wants more freedom FOR THEMSELVES!!!

I respect the people who are in favor of bringing back shopping Sundays, but putting myself in the position of a working person who has less time for rest and less time for family, I believe that no, shopping Sundays should not come back.

As for me, everyone deserves one day off from work during the week and besides, it is possible to enjoy it if the shops are closed on Sundays. For the whole 6 days, they are open and one can go shopping in the morning, at noon, or in the evening.

I believe that every person should have a free Sunday to spend time with their family. You can do your shopping during the week, on Saturday as well, so what's the problem.

Commerce Sundays should be agreed upon with the employees of a specific store, rather than imposed from above. For a large number of individuals, Sunday is the only day when they can rest from work, but there may also be individuals who would like to earn some extra money.

Shopping on Sundays is definitely convenient for the general population, but it is certainly not as big of an inconvenience considering how often store hours can be terribly burdensome for employees.

From an economic perspective, we practically do not incur any costs because neither the demand nor the supply changes, on the contrary, it helps to develop small retail enterprises, such as neighborhood shops.

In my opinion, they should be open because for the employee it's always a proverbial few more cents for two extra days of work in a month. The argument that people below are repeating is nonsense, since if it's a non-trading Sunday, restaurant or gas station workers should also have the day off on Sundays, but if commercial Sundays were to return, government employees should also work.

In some countries and regions, there are restrictions on the opening of shops on Sundays to ensure that employees have free time and support family life. In other places, shops are open all week. These decisions often spark controversy and differing opinions among people. It is worth considering the various aspects of this issue, including the needs of workers, consumer preferences, the impact on small businesses, and other factors. Ultimately, the decision regarding Sunday trading depends on the context and circumstances of a given country or region, as well as the approach and values of society.

Often, such a working Sunday is better paid than a normal weekday, and I only agree with it in such a situation. The second issue is that it will never be the case that no one will work on Sundays.

I think that Sundays should be free from commerce. Everyone should find time to do their shopping during the remaining 6 days. And if something urgently needs to be purchased, there is always a store open where the owner is serving. For an employee, this is definitely a good solution. Of course, it doesn't matter when someone is free if they are alone, but if someone has a family, usually only on Sundays everyone is at home and they can spend time together.

I personally believe that shopping Sundays should come back. The restriction of trade on Sundays introduced in 2018 aimed at improving the quality of life for workers and supporting spending time with family. However, as the current political situation shows, it seems that most people would like to return to full-scale trading on Sundays. The proposals of the Civic Coalition and the Third Way are rational. Providing workers with two free weekends a month and double pay for work on days off are good solutions that enable balancing work and personal life. Furthermore, additional days off or higher pay for work on shopping Sundays can be additional incentives for employees to take up such work. However, regardless of the proposed solutions, PiS opposes the return of shopping Sundays that it introduced in the past. I believe this decision is inappropriate and deprives citizens of freedom of choice. Nevertheless, everyone has the right to their own opinion. Ultimately, I support the idea of bringing back shopping Sundays if appropriate safeguards for workers are implemented, such as ensuring free weekends and additional benefits. It is important to find a balance between the needs of business and the quality of life for workers.

"Yes, but on Sundays the legally guaranteed remuneration should be three times higher, and on Saturdays twice. In that case, employees will have motivation to work, and the employer will have to calculate whether to open the stores."

In Poland, the opening of shops on Sundays has been the subject of many debates and controversies. The decision on whether Sundays should be trading days is mainly a political and social issue.

In the past, restrictions on Sunday trading were introduced in order to allow workers time for rest and spending time with their families. However, in recent years, various initiatives regarding the liberalization of regulations on Sunday trading have emerged.

The final decision depends on politicians, legislation, and public opinion in Poland. It is important to consider both economic and social needs when making decisions on this matter. Personally, I am in favor.

Definitely yes, they should come back. Let everyone decide what they want to do. Only the employees are a pity, but I worked shifts for 15 years, and Sunday was just a regular working day. Personally, I don't go to the store on Sundays, I prefer trips, hikes, bike rides, and many others that I can do with my children.

"Stores should not be open on Sundays, and the ones that are open are those where the owner themselves serve the customers. In this case, it's their choice. There are six days in a week to do shopping, so opening stores on Sundays is pointless. Personally, I don't take advantage of the opportunity to do Sunday shopping. Employees forced to work on Sundays will have less time to spend with their families. What's the point if they receive an additional day off since during the week their children are at school and their spouse is at work? Such a person will not fully utilize that free day in a week anyway. With good organization, it's really possible to do shopping for six days a week, and let Sundays be free from commerce."

"I have no personal opinion or ability to express preferences. The decision regarding Sunday trading depends on local regulations and government policy, and is also subject to public debate. There are many arguments both for and against Sunday trading. The advantages of Sunday trading include greater availability of services and shops for consumers, which can be convenient for those who work during the week and do not have time for shopping on other days. On the other hand, some believe that a break on Sundays has beneficial social effects, such as allowing workers to rest, strengthening family and social ties, as well as promoting leisure and relaxation. The final decision regarding Sunday trading depends on the specific context, culture, and social preferences. It is worth conducting an open public debate and considering different perspectives before making such a decision."

The economy speaks in favor of restoring commercial Sundays - higher turnover during the week, an increase in employment, and therefore greater revenue for the State Treasury. The majority of customers and store owners and retail chains are in favor of lifting the ban on Sunday trading, and students could also benefit by earning extra money on weekends.

It would be best if those interested could express their opinion, namely the employees. Maybe if such a question was asked in the last referendum, it would have some tangible effect, greater benefit.
