Tsipras was (is) in an impossible position. I'm not sure if he's handled things in the best way, but then I'm not sure if there even is a best way by this point.

If you have a working class job (however defined) chances are you don't work Saturdays - which is why Saturday was traditionally the biggest day of the week for shopping in Britain - and if you do work Saturdays (i.e. if you're in retail) then you'll have a weekday off. Historically it was also the case the grocers sold a lot of their wares via delivery vans and in recent decades supermarkets are obviously open longer than normal work hours on weekdays...

Only if you defines a working class job as a job in manufacturing, yes that's how working class was traditional defined. But in the West vastly more "working class" people work and earn less in service jobs rather than in manufacturing jobs. This means that a lot of people work saturday and sunday and those people who are in the lower categories of earners.

Yeah (I have such a job atm and work Saturdays) but if you work weekends then generally you'll have time off during the week. And, again, supermarkets and corner shops are always open until way after normal working hours.
