One Swiss drawback

Yesterday the shops weren't open- including the huge Migros (think Target, M&S, Tesco...) in Marin (yes Marin- pronounced maran. So it is a real place name, not one thought up by hippies!). I can understand that. This is a historically Catholic country. On Mondays, though, most (essential) shops aren't open in the morning. It's not like the Swiss are recovering from the weekend. Wednesday afternoon the shops are closed too, with late openning (till 8pm) on Thursdays. A lot of shops also close for lunch! It's certainly made us plan our time more, but boy was I spoiled before. This economy ain't built on consumerism....
