As someone who's never thought the massively-expanded store hours since the late 90s were a good thing, that's great news. Going back to the only things open 24/7 being some gas stations and maybe the odd pharmacy or urgent care (which, most of those aren't 24/7 now, and I'd rather they be than a lot of the things that are) would be fine. McDonalds doesn't need to be 24/7. Wal-Mart doesn't need to be 24/7. I can't go shop at Costco at 10pm on a weekday, or 7pm on a Sunday, and you know what? That's OK. "But what about shift workers?" we got by before by doing our shopping on off days, including and perhaps especially people who worked normal 8-5 mon-fri shifts—it was fine, except that we couldn't always get exactly what we wanted exactly when we wanted it; and, apparently, companies weren't extracting as much money from us as they could (else, why change policy to have longer hours? Maybe that slight delay in purchasing led to us wasting less money on bullshit, go figure), plus they could still be open 12-16 hours per day and cover that use case without being open practically non-stop.
