Closed for the winner

We confirmed for a customer yesterday that they had one first division in Saturday night’s lottery draw.  They thought they had won but were thrilled with the confirmation.  The lottery kiosk they purchased the ticket from, in our centre, was closed - as they are every Sunday.  While that’s their business, it diminishes the Tattersalls brand to have outlets in seven day trading centres closed.  This is retail after all!

    The newsagency is open seven days a week - it is not permitted to pick and choose its opening hours and has to pay penalty pay rates when the other outlet is shut.
