Sunday with a new trade ban.Some were surprised by closed supermarkets, others stood in queues in front of small stores 19:37 02-02-2022

At the beginning of February, the amendment to the Act on restriction of trade on Sundays and holidays began to apply.It is about limiting the very popular possibility of bypassing the ban by introducing post services by stores.Recently, it was easier to replace networks that are closed on Sundays than those that decided to open for customers.After the government accepted changes in regulations, only stores can be open, which obtain at least 40 percent from postal activities.income.

Today is the first Sunday with the new regulations.Trade chains have been adapted to the trade ban, although there are already ideas on how to avoid it.One of the entrepreneurs, who runs the institution in Cieszyn under the Intermarche banner, decided to call a bus station located in front of the store, and the hall at the entrance to the store, the waiting room for passengers.Thus, he took advantage of the provision in the law allowing stores at stations and airports to accept customers on Sundays.

Some frogs are also open.Small stores could work on days covered by trade restrictions if their owners stand behind the counter.The network informs that stores also use the provisions in the Covida Specji from March 2020.They are talking about the fact that "trade ban does not apply on Sunday in the scope of performing trade activities, consisting in the discharge, acceptance and exposure of first necessities, and entrusting the employee or employed to perform such activities".

We decided to check how the situation related to the new regulations looks in Lublin.Of course, all supermarkets were closed, but there were many people who left the door, surprising that they did not want to open.Some small stores were open.Their owners could not complain about the lack of customers.There were queues to many of them directly.
