Store hours changing due to current situation

Richard Lewis16 said:Honestly, we could really use some 24-hour convenience stores here in the States too, just to make life a little easier...
Whenever I find myself traveling around, I can't help but miss that constant accessibility; it’s such a shame they don't have a local 7-Eleven or even an old-school Walgreens open all night anymore like they used to...

I guess some people are just living in a fantasy world...🤣

Walmart on the main drag, PPG Industries over in Springfield

really solid breakdown here 👍

Sorry if this is off-topic, just couldn't find the right spot to ask.

Where are you located? Does anyone in America even run a disco during the off-season?

Charles Ramos7 said:That’s not even on the roadmap, honestly. Plus, the rules for restaurants are so strict they're basically turning them into glorified snack stands.

Oh sure, everyone will love sitting out on a patio with their coffee. What they aren't telling you is how the little cafes with tiny terraces—or none at all—are supposed to survive. Looks like they won't even be opening bars. Total discrimination. ...

We already do that. We grab a coffee or a beer from a convenience store and just hang out on an empty cafe patio. 😁 Plenty of places have small seating areas, and people will probably just drink their drinks on the go. Honestly, the open-air cafe concept from Lithuania is a pretty solid idea.

Where can you even find those little kiosks near the coffee shops? Those are actually decent. There are also some beer coolers over at Walmart...
Not quite the same thing, though. You could argue it’s technically illegal.
It’s a similar story with the retail stores. They used to close strictly at 5 PM just so people wouldn't be out late grabbing snacks or smokes, especially since some shops stay open until 10 PM.

My old man pivoted overnight—as soon as they banned selling goods, he had a coffee machine up and running by the next morning. 😁
