A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Do this not exist where you live?
Not in my area either. There were a lot of 24x7 Grocery stores pre -2020.
I am not sure that they reduced hours because of not trusting people though. I am sure they reduced hours because people get a lot more delivered.
There was one Walmart by us that would try to be open 24/7, it would last a month before something would happen and they would go regular for 6-8 months before trying again.
So I do see that being a legit reason for some.
I bet they can’t keep it staffed.
A lot of stores like Walmart do their stocking and cleaning at night, so there are generally some staff there anyway. So, the cost for Walmart is usually just a couple of cashiers to handle the nighttime traffic.
The location was right off the main highway, so I think it was the thefts. Dunno if it was the police telling them they couldn’t or whatever.
The ones further in the communities don’t have as quick a getaway and less secluded?
We used to have a very small handful of 24/7 supermarkets before covid. Now I think we have one in the entire city of 1.6million. Everything closes before 8pm. I think its just a mix of people not wanting to spend money because everything is expensive and violent crime. There is to many random assaults caused by drunk people.
During the Covid years, all our 24-hour groceries changed back to a 12-hour model
You can't even get fast food after midnight here, fuck third shift workers amirite?
Ours all changed to 24 hours to give people more time to shop and for people to be able to distance... Most are back to regular hours now, but 24/7 have always and do still exist.
