The Stinges company operates 117 bakery branches in North Rhine-Westphalia. But customers have to be prepared that there will be no more Sunday rolls from November 1st. According to a report by the ” Rheinische Post “, the company has announced that it will no longer open on Sundays and public holidays. “The lack of staff is clearly noticeable in that the Stinges country bakery had to temporarily adjust the opening times in some of their specialty shops. The corona-related sick leave also led to temporary closures.”
One reason for this is, of course, rising energy costs. “We cannot fully compensate for the extreme increase in energy and raw material costs with price increases and pass them on to our customers,” said Managing Director Willi Stinges of the “Rheinische Post”. And: “Due to the exhausting Corona period and the tense personnel situation for two and a half years, our sales staff have accumulated a lot of overtime. Many of them had to stand in for their colleagues again and again and were overworked.”
At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find new employees. “Although we are considered a strong employer brand, we still find it difficult to find staff. Also because fewer and fewer people want to work on Sundays,” Stinges continues.
