The USA and UK have 24/7 supermarkets. Maybe also France but I'm unsure.

24/7 stores are pretty common in Finland, atleast in bigger cities

Walmart used to be open 24 hours, and I would often hit it in the middle of the night, coming home after a late night work event (common for my business).

There were still a lot of people, just not customers. Late at night, the aisles fill with stacks of boxes, and there is an army of workers stocking shelves. Those people will all be replaced by robots within a decade, maybe even half that time.

Anyway, after Covid, they adopted normal hours, and aren't open all night anymore. There are a few drugstores that are open 24 hours, and convenience stores as well.

Everything was open late before covid. Wegmans and Walmart were 24/7, we had pizza places open till 3am, etc.

During college I worked retail on second shift, it wasn't so bad.

Honestly, from all my retail jobs between high school to now, nighs shifts were the best. They were the only time in my retail jobs where I would go to work, previous shift manager would tell me what needed to get done by the end of my shift, and just leave me to it. I was advised to bring something to read with me on my first day.

I could bang out all my work in one go, then sit and read for the rest of the night, and nobody cared. Plus, there weren't that many customers, and most of them tended to keep to themselves, anyway.

When I did overnight grocery in another company, there was even less customer interaction, and we could bring little speakers with us to play music while we stocked our aisles, as long as we didn't blast it crazy loud or have something playing with tons of profanity. Out of all my positions working with the public in retail, those were easily the best. Also, given the minimal staffing on the overnights, we really only saw each other when we all took our breaks, so work place drama was pretty minimal.

US companies of course

This is the biggest thing covid took away from me no 24 hour Walmart or grocery stores.

I did this for a while when I had an injury and couldn't walk easily, but the produce selection was always trash. Plus shopping (and maybe delivery) fees were very expensive. How do you get not-crappy produce if you do this?

What dat Krussy do?

Krampus, after centuries of work, decided to take a sabbatical from stealing bad German children, just a few years break early 1900s. How bad can it be
