Large businesses are required to close on Christmas Day, small shops are allowed to open, and every year businesses want shops to be open. As a thank you to the hard-working retail staff who have worked throughout Covid, all retail stores should be required to close on Christmas Day.

I work in retail in a store that is classed as essential. This year has been a tough one for everyone! We have worked non-stop with very little reward. We have tried to implement all the restrictions and have been verbally abused for doing so. This Christmas we do not know if we can see family but at least let us know we can have the day off.
