It does - my mom owned the Bennington Country Store (Bennington, NH) and quickly got burned out on it. I used to work the deli to help her out and found she never really get a break or day off. Of course, she also lived next door to the store.
I remember someone knocking on her door (the door to the house - not the store!) on Christmas morning to ask her to open up because they wanted batteries for their kids' toys and beer. She obliged just to be nice but quietly resented not being able to take just o-n-e holiday off.
Needless to say she didn't exactly shed a tear the day she sold the place! (And neither did I!)
