Default big store vs little ones

Lowes, Walmart, Home Depot can all afford with all their resources to have people working seven days a week. That does not mean that they are better, in fact the little stores might have better wages than the larger ones.

Having been a small store owner/operator you need to have some time off for your family and or yourself.

New England used to have blue laws that prohibited working on Sundays for some types of shops.

Yes the big stores have hurt the little stores, and when you need the service and the courtesy you will find the little stores to be better.
