I wish 24 hours was a thing again, my fiancee gets out at 12:00 and there is literally nothing open unless you want to drive an hour. Honestly i’d work a graveyard shift too, love the night
I’m of two minds. I love the convenience of 24/7, but we were JUST THERE. we saw just how much the corpos will demand in order to keep staffing for all 24 hours. People need time off, and they deserve for it to be consistent and “normal”. That doesn’t happen if the corporations have a say in a 24 hour shift.
I’d love to see expanded hours not being 24/7, but having different start times. No reason every shop has to open at 6am, some can open at 6, some at 8, some 10, etc, and with a similarly staggered closing time, we can have the convenience of having things open when we’re available, and not have every minute of our lives scheduled by a corporation.
Obviously there is still a case for overnight shifts. Emergency work, for example. And we need some support for those people working in an industry that has to be always open. I don’t know that there’s a good solution to compromise on both situations without just an excessive amount of regulation.
all the grocery stores around me stopped being 24 hours so now i can never get anything after work except taco bell
