Can i call vodaphone to upgrade my phone after 7pm tonight??? I don't know the answers to these but at a guess i would say no to all three.
As for Skelton service I've been unlucky enough to live in 2 areas where if you use boxing day as an example i would have to walk 3 miles down then up a hill to Durham road for a 21 or walk a mile to widopen crem for a 43 so really you might as well give the drivers an couple of early finishes, 3 days off over Christmas and use the bus the other 361 days a year they run ( unless it snows )
Most supermarkets are open until 7pm. The locals/express ones until 10pm, but generally the staff in those stores are from the immediate area.
Not sure about sales for the likes of EE, but there'll very likely be a customer services presence. There needs to be due to the volume of people getting new phones etc for Christmas, and obviously broadband customers could call at any time.
Amazon are still delivering up until 11pm on Christmas Eve. I whilst I don’t think they deliver on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, the logistics behind the scene will still need to happen.
Like I said in my original post though, it needs to be a balance between ensuring staff have decent availability to time off over Christmas, but at the same time recognising that there's still a limited demand to meet and a service to provide.
