I've had this conversation with the lady at the really good deli down the road from me! When I occasionally have a rare chance to go in there she says "we never see you anymore!" And I have to always remind her they only serve lunch from 11am to 3pm, my work starts at 11 and my lunch break is at 330 lol

This. If you work during the day anywhere around my town you have a good 30 minutes to do shopping before all the stores close at 4:30.

Never understood those hours, they lock out more than half of their potential customers

They want time to do stuff to.

That's when they should introduce a second shift instead of just having one shift and one set of staff.

Wait until you hear about banks lol
They open after everyone's at work and close before anyone finishes work
Because fuck you, that's why

Because banks’ primary customer is not Joe Everyman who works a 9-5. Their primary customers are other companies. Your checking account is barely even a drop in the bucket compared to the billion dollar company that has five hundred accounts set up for their various incomes and expenses.

But the reason there is a local bank branch in your neighborhood isn't for that one business owner nextdoor to deposit their brief case of cash at 11am

Anyone who works an office job should be able to set their own hours. I choose 6:30-2:30. I can still hit up local shops after. My colleague chooses 10-8 and shops before work. There's no reason we can't make this work.

For a lot of time, i thought the 12 hour clock was not that bad

Until i saw people excluding the AM/PM. What does 6:30-2:30 mean? Are you working -4 hours? Are you working from 18:30 to 2:30 or from 6:30 to 14:30? Why do people choose this time format?

Even though you're right, context is also important. They're talking about working in an office, so it shouldn't be difficult to understand that they're referring to working 8 hours, from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM

This is exactly why we should have 4 day work weeks. Especially when you replace "shop" with "doctor's office"

That's always been a hilarious part of French culture to me. Many of their cafes and sandwich shops are closed for lunch so their employees can go home to eat.
