I suspected as much, but I wasn't 100% sure.
When I first came here I was used to the 7/7 opening hours, but I admit that I kind of enjoy the Sundays off... It's annoying if you run out of something, true enough, but other than that, it's actually a relief NOT to be able to shop once a week, LOL. Anyway, there are ups and downs to anything, and this is no exception. :-)
However, I very much like they discontinued the lunch break in the shops (when I came here it was still a usual practice), and I would very much love if the shops in town stayed open until 20:00 instead of 18:00 - if I work until six, which I usually do, I have no possibility to catch the shops still open during the working week.
