minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•8 hours agoNah forcing workers to survive mimum wage is hard enough. Don’t force them to work at the middle of the night. Have a “petrol station/corner shop” open for emergencies.
minus-squaremacrocarpalink4•3 hours agoShift work has been a thing forever Not sure why retail is any different.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•5 hours ago Don’t force them to work at the middle of the night. What if they want to work in the middle of the night. I miss night shifts.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•4 hours agoThey’ll still be jobs hiring. Like corner stores in my example. But I’m willing to bet big money more people are forced to work night shifts they’d rather not work, than wish they were working night shifts. Not to mention the societal costs and burden it brings on as it heavily impacts various health risks.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink15•8 hours agoThey still have stockers and cleaning done overnight. It’s just not open to customers.
minus-square@VenerosolinkEnglish7•8 hours agoPretty sure they’re still working. Just focused on cleaning and stocking shelves. But at least not dealing with customers!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•8 hours agoMaybe in the US. Where I live basically all retail ends between 5-7pm.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•3 hours agoThat sounds positively awful to me. If I’m home by 6, finish eating by 7 then I can’t do anything at night.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•3 hours agoIn my culture we eat dinner more like 9pm. Also “doing things” is usually not shopping. The abundant supermarkets next to the train stations let you do all needed errands on the way home from work.

We really have no work-life balance in this country.
