They precisely earn more on a Sunday and on Saturday because it is normally a free day.
By eliminating the work protection on those days, they also will take away those bonuses.
And choosing which day to work? Good way of showing that you don’t really know how minimum wage workers are treated. No, you cannot really choose which day to work in a workweek setting. You might be able to talk to your colleagues and try to arrange things in that way, but good luck telling your boss “Nah I dont like your work schedule, I only work when I want to.” And again, this is exactly about removing the special protection of the weekend and trying to make it a normal part of the work week.
While I think that the premiums for weekends would remain even if shopping on Sundays becomes legal, I fully agree with you on the fact that low wage workers don’t have the power as individuals to decide freely when they will work.

Then you have a shitty boss anyway.
