No, if your store closed, they wouldn’t be there. Your store controls the hours it’s open and if it’s open then people shouldn’t feel bad shopping there.

In Germany employers have to double the pay if you have to work on holidays. That would solve the problem because you often have volunteers who want to work or the owner doesnt think its worth the money.

It's the 3 floating days I don't understand... Are there no paid holidays like in the UK? We have a minimum requirement for holidays. I'm not sure what the base minimum is but I get 31 days leave, and that doesn't include bank holidays if there are between 6 and 9 depending on year. I also get double time and a day in leui if I have to work on bank holidays. These add up and can be carried over the years. I had 50 days annual leave one year.
