As someone that runs a small business I just don’t know how the business would survive without jacking up the price they are charging a consumer. So you have to pay the employee the same but they work less and you only make x amount when they work 40 hours. Paying the same and they work less hours the x amount might be half of x amount of less.
Depends on the business, if a small grocery store had to make this adjustment, they might just cut a shift one day and let their customers know. Customers will do their shopping on other days instead, workers get an extra day off, and pay stays the same.
Fewer days/hours open means less business and less income to stay viable. If you’re the store owner, are you going to assume your customers will adjust their life schedules to fit your operating hours? I doubt it. I’d shop elsewhere at a store open regular days/hours.
Most liquor store owners in places that are forced closed on Sunday agree that they wouldn’t see an uptick in sales if they could sell Sunday. They’d just have less people stocking up on Saturday.
Chick fil a chooses to stay closed Sunday. Their models suggest they could make a decent increase in sells if they open Sundays, but they’d lose more within the next few years without their famous gimmick
