Okay, so today the bank opens at 8:30. Tomorrow it opens at 8:31. The day after that, 8:32. (or whatever, I'm sure my numbers don't match the progression of day/night cycles exactly).
That's why.
Ya, sure, I'm being silly, you say. But when do we shift, how many different opening times should shop have, is each place going to do it differently or will it all be legislated (good luck with that)? It would be a nightmare of logistics. "The babysitter needs to start leaving at 4 because her evening job just shifted time, but we aren't shifting for another two weeks, leaving the baby unattended...."
