Well, the average person does gain something from being able to shop and bank at all.
If you are required to be in the office from 9 am - 5 pm Monday-Friday and grocery stores and banks are only open from 9 am - 5 pm Monday-Friday (or even 8 am - 6 pm if you live in an area where long commutes are normal) you're effectively excluded from banking and shopping entirely.
This seems to be a systematic means of excluding people in some places in Europe. Stores and banks in some places were only open from 8 am to 5 or 6 pm Monday - Saturday. Orthodox Judaism forbids work (including house work) on Saturday, so Jewish people working 9-5 jobs had very limited access to services.

- reidjs 5y agoIt’s messed up, but that’s how it works for jobs where the employees have no power and are easily replaceable but very dependent on the income.
- cratermoon 5y agoSo no good reason at all.
- Dylan16807 5y agoIf it's going to be a weekly or biweekly thing like groceries or banking, and just about everyone needs it, why have every full-time employee work it out ad-hoc? It seems simpler to have those places open a few more hours a day. (And if you want to reduce how much people work then it's better to just shorten the standard work week than to add in a weekly grocery exception.)
