I'm not big on Sunday retail either. I prefer the older tradition where most stores were closed on Sunday so people could be with their families.
Also for holidays: my mother really appreciated being able to work Thanksgiving, Xmas, July 4th etc because others really wanted that time to be with their families‡ -- those holidays meant nothing to us (immigrants) but meant that when she wanted someone to cover for her for some other day everybody owed her a favor (plus as a bonus people generally try not to go to the hospital those days -- she was an M.D.).
‡ (or perhaps it's simply that I was such a horrible kid that she was happy to be out of the house).
