A Tesco supermarket in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis is considering opening on Sundays, leading to community division. The local population, rooted in a tradition of observing the Sabbath, has raised concerns through a petition against this change. Some residents believe it will erode their cherished day of rest and impact family-time and worship. Tesco assures that workers will not be forced to work on Sundays and suggests that the change would enhance shopping convenience for those who wish to shop on that day.
