Happy Trade and Restaurant Workers' Day

History of the holiday

Ukrainians celebrate the day of a trade and restaurant worker on the last Sunday of July every year.

The holiday was established by Presidential Decree № 427/95 of June 5, 1995.

Ukrainians began celebrating Trade Day on the last Sunday in July, beginning in 1996. On July 26, the holiday will take place in Ukraine. Earlier, trade workers celebrated their day together with domestic service workers and housing and communal services workers. The name of the holiday was different - the Day of workers of trade, consumer services and housing and communal services.

Interesting Facts

• By the middle of the 19th century, the buyer had to clarify the price with the seller, and he could bargain, focusing on the appearance of the buyer. However, the situation where people paid different prices for the same product seemed wrong to American Quakers. They actively promoted the shops to hang price tags.
• The first shopping center appeared in the ancient Roman forum of Trajan. It had 150 shops selling various goods.
• Friday used to be considered a market day. On Friday, upon receipt of the goods, some promised to return the money for the next market day. That's where the phrase "He has seven Fridays a week" came from - people who don't keep their promises.
