The opening about availability and our expectations hits right at home.
I'm originally from France, where stores closing during lunch time, sundays and mondays all day is normal. I remember when I moved to Canada, it seemed so amazing that stores were opened 7/7, and sometimes until 9pm (on Thursdays and Fridays). Wow!
Then I got used to it, and now, anytime I'm back in France, I just find it unacceptable and wonder how those store survive and make any money while always being closed!
