Having managed a few differant shops over the years there is some good stuff in this thread.
Saturdays, in specialist hobby retail really aren't that great a trading day these days. Most of my business comes during the week.
Weekday late opening can be more profitable although everyday is a waste of energy.
The big moan i have and where my sympathy vanishes is this, i work monday to friday 9-5 and have no time? What a load of rubbish and really count yourself lucky, do you not think that those that work in shops also would like to have weekends off and not to work long hours? 9-5 really? i have to get in to work at 830 and certainly don't finish when the door closes and all that for sub average national wage.
Quit moaning get your orders sent to your work address and stop thinking that the majority of the working population have the luxury of a weekend off.
