  many people still have to cash physical checks to pay their bills on time.
context: I wish everything was open 24hrs, but I'm biased as a night shifter. I get off between 5-6am and nothing is open..
  It's weird with how many thousands of 24hr jobs there are in my area, there's so few 24hr businesses. Walmart here was always busy when I'd go at 2am, yet they still cut their hours down, making them extremely busy during the day.
  I'd love to go to the dentist at 8pm, get my dog groomed at midnight, swing by the post office and bank at 3am. Nighttime crim would go down due to more people being out and about.
  I got attacked on here last time I made a comment like this, but oh well. >
  
  I hear ya man. I'm a night shifter too. Used to get off at 3:30am. That was a fucking shit show, especially with covid restricting store hours to like 10am \~ 5pm. Doc appt, grocery shopping, all were hell when I normally went to bed at 8am \~ 9am. Could never sleep in, because I needed to get to grocery stores before they closed. Bleh.
  Now I get off at 8am and it's a lot better. Shit still isn't open, but at least I don't have to wait until what's like 10pm (for me, that would be like 8am) to get my teeth cleaned.
  My walmart was always busy too, when it was 24 hrs. They stopped being open 24 hrs before covid though. >
  
  I never understood the whole restricted hours during COVID thing.  I assumed the individual businesses were just doing it to save labour costs, but otherwise why would you want to funnel everyone into your store during a smaller window of time if human contact is presumably deadly? 
  Just one of many examples where it was all about the theatre and not actually implementing logically consistent policies. >
  
  I believe it actually is logically consistent, if one ALSO assumes/implements restrictions and alternatives to in-person interactions, e.g. instead of shopping in person in a store, shopping online with a no-contact delivery.
  In which case, reducing store hours aides to that policy (e.g. "I can't go into a store, so I'll shop online).
  Or to put it another way, it's not "funnel everyone into a store during a smaller time window" at all, but rather "have less people enter and interact in the store (or any other shared space) at all". >
  
  At least have checks clear and transfers show for online banking. It’s a Monday after a holiday weekend and I’d like to have the money I made over it please! >
  
  exactly that’s all i’m saying!! there needs to be improvement of bank accessibility. if i can’t go inside to do my transaction, the atm should be equipped to preform that transaction. >
  
  Can we add doctors offices to this? As someone that missed a lot of school due to doctors appointments it isn’t cool that they’re only open when kids need to be in school. (Other than holidays which a lot of them are still closed cause they’re government institutions) >
  
  The thing is, all they'd need to do is open til like 7pm. Not even that much longer than they already do, and it would solve the issue. >
  
  Yeah but most doctors already work long hours and aren't interested in adding late office hours to that >
  
  "Banker's Hours" used to end early so the employees could spend a couple hours counting money and doing bookkeeping. But now its just tradition.
  For covid quarantine purposes, here in Minnesota Banks were considered "essential" and were exempt from closing.
  It's really just up to the individual bank what hours they have, most of the big ones do have banking online 24/7 plus ATMs. >
  
  When's the last time you needed to go into a bank?  I work at a bank & never go to a branch.  I can do 99% of my banking through the mobile app.
