  Because people in those professions want to have their weekend off also. They want to watch sports with their friends and family, go to cookouts, attend church, spend time with their kids, all the same things you do on your weekends.  Just because they provide a service doesn't mean they have to do it on your schedule. 
  Would you be willing to pay a 50% markup for these services on the weekend?
context: Why don't you push for your own workplace to work weekends and move your days off to the week? >
  
  Because as a graduate student I one have to adhere to the national standard of working on the weekdays so I can go to conferences and seminars with people from around the world. My work isnt as isolated as say a plumber or a person who processes mail. Plus working on the weekends won't help anyone with my job it would only harm it. If you are plumber working on the weekend would get you more money, the same with all utility jobs so their is that cost incentive too that my job doesn't have. >
  
  So instead of pushing to change your own standard you want everyone else to change theirs to fit you lol >
  
  This is some classist bs 
  Imagine thinking service workers don’t deserve a traditional weekend to spend with their families or stealing their overtime pay is ok
  Not to mention utility workers go out during some of the worst inclement weather on weekends already when there’s an emergency >
  
  My point is not 7 days a week. Hell if they just worked the weekends it would be fine. >
  
  Why don't you get a job that just works weekends? Maybe get a job working 2nd or 3rd shift. Then you can do all your running around and get your packages any day during the week you want. >

  How about we expand access to essential institutions instead of arbitrarily limiting them?
