Supermarkets being closed on Good Friday.

Why is this sh*te still going on?

I can go and worship at the alter of Petrol and buy, petrol, automobile parts (?), food, in their own little mini market, usually unhealthy and and overpirced yet I can't buy healthy stuff from a supermarket?

I can go to a Diary and buy tinned stuff, milk and a newspaper, probably a top shelf magazine if I wished. No fresh food though unless you are lucky.

I can eat in McDonalds but not able to buy food to prepare at home?

I can go and buy agricultural products? Livestock? (What you can't have one day off a year without buying a cow or sheep?)

Rationale:

It gives people a holiday and brings families together

Thats apart from police, fire crews, nurses, doctors, people working in petrol stations, garden centres, diaries, rail-track workers, road workers, etc.  

So it gives some people a holiday, usually the people that get all the Bank holidays off anyway? Therefore denying others holiday pay and an extra day off. You talk to most people that have to work public holidays and  apart from Christmas  most are happy to work them.

It celebrates the crucifixtion of christ.

Never quite got that, celebrating a blokes agonizing death, who lived a long time ago. A guy who possibly pissed of a few Romans and local native bigwigs who we don't really know as it was all written about by blokes who never met him and who pinched lots of stuff from Egypt and stories about that other bloke Gilgamesh to pad out the story.

If you asked me was whats more likely to be true Big Foot,  Aliens from another planet or Jesus being the son of god who returned back to life after being crucified. I'd go BigFoot, Aliens, Jesus in that order. A lot of people reckon they've seen Hominid Cryptids in various parts of the world and although unlikely they could be right. Same with flying saucers, less so Jesus. 

I don't worship Christianity. Why not have one day a year called all faiths day where all faiths have a holiday? Seems fairer to me. I work shifts and unsocial hours so don't have the luxary of always planning around some religious festival I don't even subscribe to.

Britain ditched this anachronism of shops closing when I was still living there I've been over here 13 odd years ago. Why do we still have to put up with it here?
