A business owner has rules and regulations to follow, you can take a day or some time off to support your local business if you care enough about them.
Cant operate if the municipality won’t give you a permit since you can’t follow the rules.
Are you outside the US or something? We don’t get 3 months of PTO time here to waste, most of us are lucky to get a yearly accrual of 2 weeks. Many don’t get any.
Show me a municipality in the US that stops a non- liquor/weed/tobacco business owner from working 12 hours or restricts their operating hours
I can’t think of a single city where all business can operate 24 hours, can you provide any?
Its zoning laws, and you can be sure I’m not going to assed to go through any municipalities zoning laws to see when each class of business can be allowed to be open.
Very few businesses are 24/7, not even Walmarts in most cities. So no, I’m flipping this onus back on you, provide a municipality that says a deli shop can operate 24/7, because some would if they could, but plenty are forced to close before bars are closed and the rest usually an hour after… its not because they want to, its because their specific zoning laws disallow it.
Your original claim
We can’t control our work hours for the most part, a business owner can.
A business owner unfortunately has rules to follow on their hours, you claimed otherwise first, so you need to provide the sources, you can’t back out of this one.
You need to pay attention to the thread you’re in, nobody asked for 24/7 operation. This entire thread is about businesses that are only open 9-5 on weekdays or some shit. People here are asking for open hours till like 7 or 8 not 2 AM or maybe like a 11-5 on a Saturday.
And FYI, pre-pandemic most Wal-Marts were 24/7, but it proved expensive and they used the plague as an excuse to kill it off. It was their own decision, not regulations.
Okay, so you agree that they have limitations on their hours? Thats the issue of the discussion, some in certain places may need to be closed at 4, and can only open at 8. That’s the limitations of whatever agreements they have with their landlord and municipality. Shit sucks sometimes. But no, business can’t choose their hours, that’s a fallacy, almost all of them have some limitations, like open and close hours due to noise bylaws, or zoning issues with closeness to residential areas.
JUST LIKE YOUR BUSINESS DOES……
No they weren’t, only a select few in most cities were, zoning and bylaws played large roles first.
What is the point of opening a store if you’ll only keep it open for 4 hours every other day? Is it really moving a mountain to expect a business owner to invest extra time and staffing into their stores? For fucks sake if you think its so much effort to be open another 30 minutes then why the fuck are you open at all?
You’re also just demonizing one form of laziness while protecting another. You’re clearly extremely biased and arguing with you anymore than this is pointless
It’s likely their passion job while they work another job in that scenario.
So yeah it’s probably not profitable for them to be open that 30 more minutes, you could be the only extra customer, and you can’t seriously think one potential customer once in while could justify that do you?
And how am I demonizing laziness? Taking time off to support local businesses is lazy? The fuck…?
It’s not one extra customer. A LOT of people work 9-5. If everyone else at home also works 9-5, they can’t shop at your shop. That’s a lot of customers.
What crawled up your ass?
People who expect others to move mountains, but won’t move pebbles themselves.
What’s wrong with their hours, but your identical ones are fine?
We can’t control our work hours for the most part, a business owner can.
And then you wonder why people shop at Big Box stores and Amazon. It’s not JUST their anticompetitive practices

Airlines make me buy two seats for flights meaning I’m fat enough to be considered two people, so that’s two extra customers. Checkmate, Bozo
