Not to mention schools release at like 2:30. Need your kid taken care of after that? It’ll be a few hundred $/mo for an after-school program. Sorry working parents.
God yes me too. I didn’t even realize until I came out of university. A 9-5 job is a 9-5:30 job over here (we have a mandatory lunch break of at least 30 minutes if you work more than 6 hours a day, 45 if more than 9). Now calculate in the commute and if you’re lucky you’re at a 8:15-6:15 job.
Technically I’m supposed to have 30 minutes unpaid lunch. However, no one really does. It gets paid. We just hit “no” on the time clock for the “uninterrupted 30 minutes lunch”.

How do you feel about unions?
Why should lazy people get the same pay as me when I work so hard? /s

Also if everyone is 9 to 5, how does anyone do any errands if they close at the same time they do?
Well, personally I’ve found that to be a bit of a problem, so for some of us it is that we don’t, unless we take like half a day off.

A few hundred a month? I wish.
Simple: the 9-to-5 opening hours are not for the 9-to-5 workers, their services are for the ruling class who doesn’t work 9-to-5.
My last job was 9 to 5 with an hour paid lunch. Unfortunately they had to shut down once covid hit.
9-5 doesn’t include a paid lunch. It’s 8 hours without a break
I work 8-5 when I’m lucky.
I’ve never even been offered 9-5… It’s always been 8-5.

It went away way before that.
