Nah I doubt it. We are a consumer driven society
I actually miss the days where things were only open till 12 on a Saturday and nothing was open on a Sunday 
I just hope that Starbucks isn't going to put a stupid surcharge on my coffee this morning  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It's not just the govt - anyone working today gets paid time and a half and a day in leau (I think  ) so the retailers pass on the costs to consumers this way.
Anyways, most shops at least in Akl are open ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
