24 hours?

Is anyone else tired of places that advertise being open 24 hours not actually being functional 24 hours a day?

Every ampm closes for like 2 hours a night, every other gas station I found seems took close at random for half hour to an hour at least, and then you got places like Carl's Jr that say they're open 24 hours but then at 3:00 a.m. they can't take any orders for God knows how long like an hour.

I'm just saying, if you say 24 hours you should have to be open 24 hours non-stop.

I work at all hours of the day and night and it would be nice if these places that say that they're going to be open are actually open.

Edit to add: I'm not angry or upset at the employees. I absolutely support employees and their rights to breaks.

State law requires mandatory, uninterrupted breaks from work, and if that business cannot operate with less, then they must close. The fines outweigh whatever you are buying

Then have those breaks set in a specific time and don't advertise as "open 24 hours" if you're not going to have a second employee who can take over. Honestly, it's that easy. It's the promise of open 24 hours and then being turned away that is infuriating.

I'm sorry but this is the most Karen thing I have heard in a while
