I've had this conversation with the lady at the really good deli down the road from me! When I occasionally have a rare chance to go in there she says "we never see you anymore!" And I have to always remind her they only serve lunch from 11am to 3pm, my work starts at 11 and my lunch break is at 330 lol
This. If you work during the day anywhere around my town you have a good 30 minutes to do shopping before all the stores close at 4:30.
Never understood those hours, they lock out more than half of their potential customers
They want time to do stuff to.
That's when they should introduce a second shift instead of just having one shift and one set of staff.
Ah, but you see, they would have to pay them
Then you have to pay for double the employee hours. And you may not necessarily make double the profit in doing so.
all the grocery stores around me stopped being 24 hours so now i can never get anything after work except taco bell
Add those local businesses for food or service type things that are more weekend things, but they close on Sundays cause JEBIS!
Fortunately lots of them also post political shit up in their business or signs whining that nobody wants to work, so I don't even want to partake in most of them anyway.
If I see a sign in a business whining about workers or people not wanting to work, I will straight up leave and go somewhere else. Tells me everything I need to know about how the owner treats their workers.
This is exactly why we should have 4 day work weeks. Especially when you replace "shop" with "doctor's office"
Doctor? Why would employers want you to see a doctor? If you make it to retirement age they have to pay that out and miss out on a cheaper replacement!
What you need are good laws, not so much a 4 day work week. I just go to the doctor during office hours and tell my employer I have to go. I even get paid time off for it, like everyone else working in this country. Same for the dentist or any other kind of medical thing.
Sure, it's not always optimal if you work in some sort of shift, but they are required to make sure you can go.
By the way, not that I wouldn't appreciate a 4 day work week, but this seems like a bit of a stretch to say that this is the reason why you would need one.
Wait until you hear about banks lol
They open after everyone's at work and close before anyone finishes work
Because fuck you, that's why
Because banks’ primary customer is not Joe Everyman who works a 9-5. Their primary customers are other companies. Your checking account is barely even a drop in the bucket compared to the billion dollar company that has five hundred accounts set up for their various incomes and expenses.
But the reason there is a local bank branch in your neighborhood isn't for that one business owner nextdoor to deposit their brief case of cash at 11am
Funny thing is they’re there working after public hours. What are they doing? No one knows
No, because originally banks were for the wealthy that didn't have to keep another man's hours.
Anyone who works an office job should be able to set their own hours. I choose 6:30-2:30. I can still hit up local shops after. My colleague chooses 10-8 and shops before work. There's no reason we can't make this work.
I had a job once with core hours. Everyone had to be there 10 am to 2 pm, but you could decide when to come in and leave as long as you were there 8ish hours, and you were there during core hours.
That’s a pretty good idea.
Yeah, it kicked ass! Everyone was happy with their schedule, since they pretty much set it themselves.
For a lot of time, i thought the 12 hour clock was not that bad
Until i saw people excluding the AM/PM. What does 6:30-2:30 mean? Are you working -4 hours? Are you working from 18:30 to 2:30 or from 6:30 to 14:30? Why do people choose this time format?
Even though you're right, context is also important. They're talking about working in an office, so it shouldn't be difficult to understand that they're referring to working 8 hours, from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM
That's always been a hilarious part of French culture to me. Many of their cafes and sandwich shops are closed for lunch so their employees can go home to eat.
In what cafes and sandwich shop do you go to? I've never seen one that was closed during launch hours.
It's getting rarer but their is some that only open in launch hours instead of the whole afternoon, restaurant can have some specific services hours. (And some cafes stop serving drinks while serving food.)
French culture is to eat at specific hours, so it would be almost impossible to serve food only outside those.
Protip: Some of those shops are not meant for the poors to shop at, and set their hours accordingly.
The poors are the ones who need to be at a 9-5 job all the time.
As a poor, I understand.
What I don't understand is when the government does it.
I have to take a whole day off because I'm obligated to go talk to some person behind a counter, who will tell me that I need form 87324, but won't be able to tell me what that form is, where to get it, or why I need it, then drive around from government office to government office trying to get the form, only to figure out another person at the first office has it, and when I finally get the stupid form, it needs some meaningless mandatory field filled out by my employer, who thinks I'm sick today.
I guess I'll cured until the day after tomorrow.
Is this some dayshift joke that I'm too nightshift to understand. I go where I want provided I don't care about sleeping.
Ok......imagine the shops were only open from 4pm-11pm. And not open on your days off.
That's approximately second shift. I suspect the original comment is referring to third.
(Though the point still applies)
I genuinely miss third shift, though.
This is why I refuse to work first shift and don't have weekends off.
I need to be able to access things like the fucking bank and any govt service whatsoever.
Honestly imo there's no reason these services aren't 24/7. They are necessary for modern living and therefore shouldn't be constrained due to shift schedule.
If people are working during the night then all essential services should be open 24/7
I'm still bitter about the lumber place down the street closing. 9-5 and only till noon on Saturday. You got get so many discounted items! Doors, windows, screws, random tools, all kinds of building materials.
Rarely got to go there, had to spend my $ at Home Depot.
The shop workers.
They are there from 8am-6pm.
Everything closes at 5pm
They will never be able to go to anyone else's shop.
(We forget about the people that work there have it worse than we do and they seem to figure it out just fine)
And you close on weekends
The cigarette stores nearby all close at 6pm. Like what the fuck? The liquor store next door don't close until they legally can't sell alcohol.
