French compose skit for "Saturday Night Live" except it ain't a joke.... but it ought to be.......

French Court Orders Flagship Sephora Store Not To Work So Much | Zero Hedge:
"There has to be some intangible benefit from this ludicrous court ruling?
Indeed there is.

"Advocates of more-limited hours argue that allowing employees to work late or on Sundays can hurt the country's social fabric, preventing families from spending time together."
And there it is: capitalism's ugly underbelly exposed, risking such disastrous consequences as "hurting a country's social fabric" (the country in question of course being France which with Swiss watch regularity undergoes deadly race and unemployment-motivated riots) and preventing families from clicking on their iPads at dinner time. Together.

Unions opposed to late opening said Monday's ruling vindicated their cause.
"This decision encourages us in our battle," said Eric Scherrer from the CFTC union, part of a group of retail unions that brought the case against Sephora before the courts.
"What those companies are doing is illegal," he said."
