    Or don’t.

    If you’ve ever worked retail and/or graveyard … just no.

    All they’ll do is employ people to work horrible night shifts questioning their lives for peanuts in pay.

    And the people who come in at 2am…

    Ugh

      Is it that bad? Worked nights at petrol station and…honestly, one of the best jobs I had. Paid shit, but was chill and somewhat inline with my internal clock so…

          My condolences. Seems to be less so night shifts and more so Walmart itself then. I know people who aren’t of the night-time is wake-time type are immensely drained by night shifts…never imagined it could be this bad.

    I loved shopping at 2 am. It was basically me, nighttime truckers, and people who worked weird shifts stopping by after work. When I shop in the day the aisles are congested and shelves occasionally need a restock, and checkout lines out take forever (looking at you costco)

      If one is in your area, Winco is your friend then. 24hr grocery shopping. They are also worker owned and have a great bulk goods selection, so they are a better food shopping experience at roughly the same price point.

        I miss WinCo. Had one in the town my college was in. I used to get a cart full of groceries for like $80. That place was the jam

        The nearest winco to me is a country away ;_;

        I wish I could shop at a unionized store or a worker-owned place but none exist near me for groceries.

        I’ve always heard stories of shit going down at walmart, but I’ve never seen it.

        Dennys, on the other hand…

    That would be a dream for autistic people with heavy sensory issues. Mine are usually manageable, but it sure would be convenient either way. I’ve never seen any 24/7 supermarket over where I live; I guess it’s just not a thing in my country (or Europe in general, from my experience).

      We have one 24hr Walgreens left, and I think that’s it. Feels like the town used to be full of 24hr stores before covid, now it’s just that one Wallgreens.

        I don’t think any of our Walgreens stores are 24 hours anymore. Since I was a kid, I watched Kerr Drug go out of business, Eccard’s (or however it was spelled) merged with Rite-Aid and then Rite-Aid was bought by Walgreens and half of them shut down. Meanwhile Wal-Mart and Harris Teeter both now close at 11. So if Sheetz doesn’t have it you can’t buy it after 11 pm.

      Yeah our healthcare facilities close by 8. Which sucks since it forces everyone to the also underfunded and understaffed ER a 30 minute drive away after dark.

    Are they not 24-hours anymore? I’ve not shopped at Walmart for probably a decade now. Shopping late at night was the best; you never really realize just how much other shoppers slow you down until you have the whole store to yourself.

      I’m not sure if some random ones are but I travel a good bit and since covid I have not seen a single Walmart open past 11pm. They are one of a TON of businesses that got rid of overnight operations for covid and never brought it back.

    Currently awake at 3:49 am, night shopping sounds so calming but I’ve never done it before.

      I used to just walk da fuck out of my house as a teen and go to wmart 2 miles away at 2 am when I was bored. Would have given my parents a heart attack if they knew. I was stupid and confident in my ability to run away if someone attacked me lol.

    We’d go to Ralph’s at 2am and buy a carton of half & half for $0.69 and pay with a check.

    Do they not? When I was a high school senior I liked going there and McDonald’s and driving around all night, but I’m an old man now so I don’t leave the house past January

    I used to work two jobs and the middle of the night was the only time I could shop and I still don’t want them to go back to that.

    I had a late shift job that was 6pm - 2am. I’d usually run to walmart or other 24hr grocery stores to do my food shopping for the week after my shift. It was always a breeze not having to deal with lines or traffic. The caveat being some crackheads just doing normal 2am crackhead things in front of the store.
