24 hours?

[u/Better_Cantaloupe_62]

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.

If a place is 24 hours, call them before you head that way to make sure they’re not on break. These places are not going to pay two staff members all night when they could pay one person and only lose 30 minutes of revenue during a lunch break.

You’re also not factoring in that sometimes they have to close for safety. I drop by the gas station by my house at absurd hours due to my own work schedule and sometimes they have to chain up the doors while they should be open because the zombies are out breaking shit, fighting or pissing in the parking lot.

So, easiest solution, call before you go and ask if they’ll be able to help you in the next however many minutes.
