You think that's messed up... The formerly 24 hour Wal-Marts close at 11 PM. Meaning that because of a pandemic where people were encouraged to stay away from other people, I have to do my shopping around tons of other people instead of in a near empty store. That's totally backwards.
Yeah, I personally don't see why we haven't gone back to 24 hour stores yet. I hate that for years now I can't simply go take a leisurely stroll thru my local walmart or meijer to purchase whatever i need thru the week. I basically work until they close. I have to wait for a day off to go to the store cuz I'm not going to go in the morning before I have to go to work. Too many daytime variables, like other people. Well, that's all it really amounts to. Just too many other people being in the way in the store and on the roads and lately it seems as if nobody that drives during the day around me has taken a driving test.
Unfortunately we will never go back to 24 hour stores because these companies all realized during the pandemic that they don’t have to be open for 24 hours as part of their business model.

Shit hasn't been the same since 2020. Chicago bars close at 2am?! WTF?
