The extension of hours from 10pm to 11pm at the Co-op is not directly related to the imminent opening of the SPAR nearby. The Co-op were already in negotiations with staff about a 11pm closing time before Bargain Booze shut down. It is one thing going home at 10pm, and quite another going home at 11pm, and the Co-op had to get staff to agree first.
Is there really a need to have the Co-op open till 11? Am I missing something here? I work in retail and can imagine the ‘negotiations’ with staff…
Exactly!! Probably went along the lines of ‘do as your told’
I was told that it took so long for them to open until 11pm as they were waiting for the licence application to come through, not to do with negotiations with the staff.
Never mind all that, look at that car on double yellows.
Slap a ticket on it!
It was the licence that took so long.
