Nope, just moved here a couple years ago from the states.

Most people I know here seem to think it's annoying, but I work at Google, so we got people from all over, I don't think Germans are even a majority of the devs.

edit: apparently 61% of Germans think stores should be able to decide themselves whether to open on Sundays: http://m.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/service/einzelhandel-mehrheit...

I'd be curious if and how those numbers change when it is instead "companies should be able to decide themselves if they are open on Sundays".

Anecdotally, that question complicates it for quite a few people, despite probably being the fairer change.

It's of course great when people work for you on your day off. Unsurprising, though markedly short-sighted.
If you're working weekends and your days off are on weekdays, this principle still holds true: stores are still available for you. So I'm not sure what you're getting at here.
I would be far happier working on weekends, and having my weekend in the middle of the week.
