graphitoThe opposite of shopaholic: shopcell
MrJameGumbI’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
KaRunChiyThis. 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
SchmidtGeneticsThey 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.
You could also take a shift off, just like they would maybe need to to go to your place or work.
What crawled up your ass?
People who expect others to move mountains, but won’t move pebbles themselves.
What’s wrong with their hours, but your identical ones are fine?
cm0002We can’t control our work hours for the most part, a business owner can.
And then you wonder why people shop at Big Box stores and Amazon. It’s not JUST their anticompetitive practices
A business owner has rules and regulations to follow, you can take a day off to support your local business if you care enough about them.
Are you outside the US or something? We don’t get 3 months of PTO time here to waste, most of us are lucky to get a yearly accrual of 2 weeks. Many don’t get any.
Show me a municipality in the US that stops a non- liquor/weed/tobacco business owner from working 12 hours or restricts their operating hours
I’ll wait
I can’t think of a single city where all business can operate 24 hours, can you provide any?
Its zoning laws, and you can be sure I’m not going to assed to go through any municipalities zoning laws to see when each class of business can be allowed to be open.
Very few businesses are 24/7, not even Walmarts in most cities. So no, I’m flipping this onus back on you, provide a municipality that says a deli shop can operate 24/7, because some would if they could, but plenty are forced to close before bars are closed and the rest usually an hour after… its not because they want to, its because their specific zoning laws disallow it.
You need to pay attention to the thread you’re in, nobody asked for 24/7 operation. This entire thread is about businesses that are only open 9-5 on weekdays or some shit. People here are asking for open hours till like 7 or 8 not 2 AM or maybe like a 11-5 on a Saturday.
And FYI, pre-pandemic most Wal-Marts were 24/7, but it proved expensive and they used the plague as an excuse to kill it off. It was their own decision, not regulations.
Okay, so you agree that they have locations on their hours? Thats the issue of the discussion, some in certain places may need to be closed at 4, and can only open at 8. That’s the limitations of whatever agreements they have with their landlord and municipality. Shit sucks sometimes.
No they weren’t, only a select few in most cities were, zoning and bylaws played large roles first.
Not everything is a conspiracy dude.
