Most people don't actually work 9 to 5 though. That was an idiotic song.

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.
Wtf kind of shop is only open for 8 hours a day, and business hours at that. I've never witnessed that
It's called banker's hours.
Banks
I've been complaining about banks for YEARS now! I can understand in the 60s why your bank account wasn't up to the minute accurate.
I have a debit card. I have money in the bank. Why is a $3.19 slim jim transaction pending for a week??? I tap my chip, I type my pin, transaction goes through.......my bank should instantly deduct those funds, and there should never be a "pending" status. It's all digital! What the god damn fuck?
I assume the store didn't close their batches meaning the banks can't process it so it sits on pending until it either drops off, or the batch is closed.
Because of ancient COBOL code from the 3 major banks that nearly all transactions pass through at some point. Oh and they can't rewrite them because ~~money~~ "CaNt FiX WhAT isNT BrOKe"

Are you really asking "What kind of business keeps business hours"?
English isn't my native language, I thought it referred to business as in office. Because other jobs definitely don't keep those hours.
Also I was genuinely curious, id never heard of that. Everything is open at least 8-6 here. Cultural differences I guess.

Well yeah, because they aren’t their business hours.

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.
Does the liquor store not also sell cigerettes?
Aw hell, you should quit anyways!

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.
God I hated second shift. Everything was closed by the time I was off, I had maybe ~10 minutes to drove to the nearest food that wasn't taco bell assuming other places didn't just close early for the hell of it (I refuse to be a karen about it, I'd want to close of shit was slow too). Fucked up my sleeping habits so badly. At least third shift can get breakfast food.
Yeah, if I had to pick a shift, second would have been my third choice.

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
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.

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
all the grocery stores around me stopped being 24 hours so now i can never get anything after work except taco bell
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

They want time to do stuff to.
Then they can't go an FB or Nextdoor and complain about people not shopping local.
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.
