I am mad however that Walmart stopped being 24/7 made no sense I could accidently social distance at 2am in walmart
The mandatory reduction in hours for essential services is one thing that always struck me as being counterintuitive. If it's essential, people are going to be shopping there regardless of what the hours are, so reducing the hours means you end up with the same number of total customers showing up within a smaller time window. That increases density and the risk of transmission, exactly the opposite of what the goal was. I'm sure there were further considerations like being able to reduce the number of overlapping shifts for employees and the impacts it had on traffic timing, and increasing the extent to which people were able to take advantage of the disinfecting effects of the sun, plus maybe secondary concerns like overall reductions in traffic increasing the risk that people are victimized by street crime (already an elevated risk for late-night shopping, but with fewer people overall that means even fewer late-night shoppers), but at face value it never really made sense to me.
It was just am excuse. They have rolled back every other covid policy but thatYeah this really. It's disappointing, especially in a place like Las Vegas, but evidently it's not profitable to keep a restaurant open overnight when there are only a dozen patrons from 1AM-9AM, all the while you still have to pay a full crew of chefs, waiters, hosts, bussers, etc.

Probably the same with Walmart. Wasn't profitable to service the dozen people who came in overnight.

Companies have stuck with ditching 24-hour service, yeah, and it makes sense because those periods generally don't generate enough business to cover the costs of staffing them, but it was also an official government policy to stop offering 24-hour service (at least around here). Sticking with it is the business' choice, but I'm just not sure why it was part of the Covid restrictions initially.

Obviously so the corporation makes more moneyYeah this. End of the day, it's always this.
The death of the handshake. I still refuse to shake people's hands. I don't care what they think. It's gross and it's always been gross.
