i'm a night person as well, but i don't want to force a bunch of people to work horrible shifts so that i can buy groceries at 2 am

it probably makes sense in a city where there's a critical mass of people to make it worthwhile for a subset of businesses to remain open, especially if people work those shifts voluntarily because that's their preferred schedule. i don't think the suburbs can support that kind of thing in a way that's good for the employees though. just a guess, i'm not a retail manager and don't know how common it is for people to like those shifts.

kinda the same opinion about stores being open on holidays. i mean, yeah, it's convenient for me because i don't have to plan ahead or can go out to restaurants with friends while i'm personally off work. however, i think it would be nice if everyone got the day off and we just accepted it's ok for retail spaces to close for a full day sometimes.

it's not even about full 24 hour service



anyone who works day shift gets to go on their weekend or during hellhour now

I’m convinced it’s partially a reaction to people feeling out of control of their lives. There was a big phenomenon that forcibly changed the entire world in an extremely short amount of time. People are trying to exert any control they can.

One of the crazies here: I think there's something to this, but the 2nd order effects made winners and losers. For me, it will be over if I ever regain the purchasing power lost to inflation, and not one moment sooner.
