ZK, as long as they’re not on this side of the Atlantic you’re at least protected by union regulations. Over here, everybody makes up the rules as they go along. Some places are open from 9 – 9, others close at 7, some places (actually a lot) close for the traditional hafsaka (like siesta in Spain), but those hours could vary, some close from 2-5, others from 1:30-4, and any combination of times that you can dream up. And what about the stores that are only open from 8:00 – 10:00 at night?? Well, they’re more like a family business in the machsan of the building, but still… Now the killer, there are many places that close at 1 or 2 on Tuesday AND NEVER OPEN UP UNTIL WEDNESDAY MORNING!!!!! Can you believe it? Well, that might be okay for a store that is only for nonessentials (not sure what that means, but I had to think hard to come up with a neutral description), but what if it is your local MAKOLET?? I hated that when I couldn’t go to buy MILK/BREAD that I needed for the next day on Tuesday after 3:00. Yes, I know I had the rest of the morning to go take care of these things, but I work out of my house and try to do a lot when my kids are at school, plus I’m a scatterbrain and often leave these details for the last minute, but wait, we’re not in this thread to talk about me and my problems, but what are we in the CR going to do while the mods are in the CR for the Secret Mossad Agents? Do they have a smoking room over there too? Oh, smoking is bad for you, right, so no, it would have to be a….. oh, I don’t know, what kind of room do they have over there by the Mossad? Maybe we should call them and tell them to send over a few agents to clear out the secret CR so that the Mods will get back to work over here on YWM? Do you have the #? I’m afraid to make the call.
