Back in the seventies, grocery stores in Reykjavik were only allowed to be open until six on Mondays through Thursdays, to seven on Fridays and to noon on Saturdays. All grocery stores were closed on Sundays. The store where I worked decided to ignore the rules, and to have the store open to seven on Thursdays as well. Before they made the change, the manager went to each employee individually and asked “Do you think you could work an extra hour each Thursday? If you can’t, I’m sure you could find a job somewhere else.”
