I'm not complaining because we all get a day off!
Probably so the fat cats who run them get a chance to count and spend their mega-bonuses

Do we?
agreed, i work in a very similar store, crazy busy over bank holidays.
actually though it is because The Bank Of England used to observe all 33 saints days, but whittled it down to four in 1834. They originally were Christmas Day, Good Friday, May Day and 1st November.
It changed in 1871 when the bank holidays act was passed and it was against the law to make any payment. It moved to the four we have now: Easter Monday, Whit Monday, August first Monday, Boxing Day.
