Thank you, very helpful.
Seasons greeting to everyone and especially the Island Echo & supermarket staff.
Well done to the stores that are closed for both Christmas and boxing day, i hope the staff enjoy time off eith thier family.
If anyone cant be organised enough not to go shopping for 2 days then they deserve to go without.
It’s about time the larger supermarkets started to think about thier staff, especially at Christmas.
If we stopped shopping on Boxing Day the shops would close
Agree, staff should have a two day break, paid.
what about SPAR
No Christmas spirit in the stores that make staff work on Boxing day – shameful
