    wut? do you think all stores everywhere in other countries are just… always open?

    they don’t, they open at like 07 and close around 22, and on weekends and holidays they have more restricted opening hours and less staff because fewer people shop then anyways.

    you’ll generally have at least like 3 guys who are fine with getting overtime pay for working times like those.

      I live in a city of millions and there’s a handful of 24/7 supermarkets around. The few times I’ve ever needed them in emergencies, it was creepy quiet not angry karens.

      I’m sorry you misunderstood my point of view as an American who has emigrated out of the US (lived overseas in various places throughout my career but have finally been able to land in one spot to call home).

      I have, however, lived in some very large international cities which skew perspective because they have shops open 24/7.

      The town we live in all the large markets are open on Sunday in the summer, but that’s out of necessity because we go from about 65k residents to 350k. They are open shorter hours, but man it’s busy.
