Reducing trading hr in Harrods(11am to 7pm) that’s insane! Store must be closed

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

it is not a right decision to reduce working hours, it is not a decision related to our and our customers health . Once again it is a decision made for the business, because the entire store is empty and therefore it’s your convenience to open and close earlier.
We are completely scared about this situation! The whole world has taken action. We too want our rights, we are human and we are one!
