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

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.

I don't live in the US but I'm guessing people working at Walmart at 2 am is not getting paid enough
Honestly, in a sea of underpaid jobs, it's just nice not having to deal with customers, and some people are just night owls

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).
Labour laws are too good over here.
We in Finland have great labour laws and great unions, but still have some 24/7 stores.
The secret ingredient is extra pay.

We'd go to Ralph's at 2am and buy a carton of half & half for $0.69 and pay with a check.
Far out, man
Around Lancaster, PA you’d have a group of Amish teenagers wandering Walmart at that time of night, alongside meth heads.
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)
The best time to go. Free entertainment that late too from some of the customers.
I’ve always heard stories of shit going down at walmart, but I’ve never seen it.
Dennys, on the other hand…
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 no longer live in the PNW. I miss Winco.
What state are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I just moved from Dallas to Los Angeles and there are Wincos in both, just kind of out of the way.
I lived across the street from one for awhile and loved going grocery shopping late at night to avoid everyone else.
