Don't Customers Think That We Ever Need Time Off?

Doesn't the Great Unwashed think that we ever need time off to relax, go shopping or meet friends etc. I get none urgent phone calls over the weekend and late in the evenings. I've started to turn my phones onto answering machine mode lately. Gone are the sacred weekends it seems.

  • A lot of people don't have weekends as such. We used to have very limited trading on Sundays and early closing permitted shopkeepers some respite after working Saturdays. So it doesn't surprise me that you get non-urgent calls at weekends. Similarly, with business hours (for some) extending into the evenings, it may be difficult to call earlier, but I think that 18:00 would be a reasonable deadline.
