Same as the hours a regional grocery chain kept open during the beginning of the first lockdown. They’re normally open 24 hours so I would shop at like 4:00am before work when no one was around. Then pandemic. They reduce the hours to ~8 hours per day, claiming it was for safety. Except all this does is bottleneck their traffic into more dense shopping cycles.

It wasn’t about safety. It was about cutting payroll overhead.
