Rejected petition Stop retailers opening on bank holidays i.e. Boxing Day, New Year's Day

More details

Retailers opening on bank holiday's are starting to take over our family life. Do people really need to go sofa shopping on Boxing Day? Do store workers really want to work on bank holidays? What about the parent that misses playing with their children and their new presents? Lets stop retailers opening on bank holidays and get our work/family life balance back!
