I just realized that if kids told their parents that where I live right now, there is almost no way you'd find a store open late enough to fix your problem... Ever since covid, things have been closing so early

Just due to not being able to find employees?

[-] nondescript_citizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

I think it's just cheaper to not stay open. They'd have to pay employees to work those hours and I think during covid they found they saved money by closing earlier vs the sales made during that time. Who cares that that makes it harder for people who work night shifts. The classic corporate "fuck 'em, that's why"

Nights might make it easier? My problem was the stores were only open while I was working, I had basically a 1 hour window to get to the store before it closed at 6pm (thankfully just a week or so ago they are now open until 8pm).

It's definitely a weird dilemma of if we all work the same hours, how does anyone with a job actually go to these places?

It's criminally inefficient that almost everyone works the same hours and tries to commute on the same roads at the same time.

Believe me, it doesn't

Not everyone lives in the same area. In mine, several places close at even 8 pm. Yeah, I'd consider that early.

It is when you work 2nd shift 😂
