    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.

    I live in a country like this and believe me, it’s refreshing. Yes it’s an inconvenience some times, but the alternative is 24/7 hell: once the expectation is that you can get anything you want, whenever you want then you start to compromise the lives of everyone because someone has to work those shifts, and if companies have to man those shifts they damn well will make profit-which is usually at the cost of staff pay. And then when you’re in line at 2am getting peanut butter and packing foam you realize the Karen in front of you yelling at the cashier because they don’t have chocolate croissants, is a product of this cycle.
