Following the initiative of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Harald Mahrer, to open the shops on Sundays before Christmas, there was criticism. The population cannot gain much from the proposal either.
In a market agent survey of 500 people, the majority (65 percent) spoke out against opening the store on the last two Sundays of Advent.

Three-quarters of those surveyed would not take the opportunity to go shopping on Sundays. More than a third see the upsells as an advantage for the retail sector, but the negative effects on the family life of retail employees predominate at almost 60 percent.
If Sunday opens, respondents are most likely to shop at grocery stores (68 percent), drugstores or perfumeries (43 percent), as well as fashion and shoe stores (42 percent). The opening of physical stores on Sunday would not be an incentive for most to buy more in stores than online.
