Number 1 rule of Capitalism - "You get what you pay for"

I wonder what a company that has its customer services centers elsewhere does in terms of the local national holidays or religious holidays. If the bulk of the customer service center employees follow Islam, for example, will customers who call have to put up with no answer or an automated system when the employees take time out to pray? What about Christmas? Since they don't celebrate it, does that mean customers get to have customer service as usual on Dec. 25th? How about on July 4 or the last Monday of May? And what about the other way around? What do the customers do when the employees have a holiday they normally take off but we don't?

That's the Cliff's Notes version. The actual stone tablet reads " You get what you pay for...or less."
