Forgive me for another time related entry this week.
I will acknowledge that things changed rapidly when the pandemic hit, and many stores and restaurants gave up on 24 hour operation. I will also acknowledge that businesses are having an awful time finding and keeping employees.
It's long been established here that I live on the other side of the clock. I work when you are asleep and vice versa. I am not alone. There are a lot of us out there.
Things are easing up a bit. There are still a few 24 hour places left, and the ones I visit are always busy. To the businesses that close early... it's time to go back to the way things were. As I'm out in the wee hours of the morning, I see people bypassing those places that used to be open, and crowding the 24/7 businesses.
A lot of money is passing you by.
