This is an old story, but back when Pokemon Go was still big, I went to a McDonalds at 2am and a bunch of zoomers on their phones looking for Pokemon came in. They were a bit loud, didn't bother anybody (mainly me) and then left after getting some food.

That same McDonalds is no longer open 24/7.

ex mcdonalds employee here, the shit that goes on in some of our stores has prompted certain ones to close for the safety of staff, don't ever work here, ever.

>>21414969 (OP)
COVID happened

Maybe they realized that only meth heads shop after midnight

The pandemic hollowed out the economy and it's no longer practical to keep an empty restaurant open for hours just for the prestige of having 24/7 on the sign.

Places used to only be open 24/7 because competition was open 24/7.
Being open 24/7 when nobody else is means you're now the designated absorber of all overnight robbery, shoplifting, tweaker, homeless sheltering, etc. of an entire area.
So in exchange for the pittance you make in overnight sales you get to have your insurance rates, stock loss, employee turnover skyrocket while becoming known as the dangerous place that gets robbed all the time that people don't shop at in daylight now.

Crazy that Home Depot used to have a 24 hour location in Atlanta (Sidney Marcus Blvd for the curious). Now many places don't even have a gas station open past midnight.

Are SINs (Service Industry Night) still a thing or is that dead too?

>>21414983
This.

Honestly I used to love 24 hour places. I am a nocturnal creature of the night and some of my fondest memories are wandering around my university town at after midnight hours and going to the WinCo or something else wildly high on some sort of fun thing. I was mindful to not make a scene or stand out, there was already plenty of others who would take the spotlight in the depths of the night, eg homeless and crack heads. Now in my older age I don't understand why anyone would go out after 10pm. I'm not even really saying that cuz I'm old but also cuz there's just less places open after this time in general.

>>21414969 (OP)
>What happened to 24/7 fast food and groceries?

So about 5 years ago some people said maybe the police should try to do a better job. And in response they had a tantrum and stopped doing their job at all, because apparently they all signed up for the sole purpose of being able to beat the shit out of and kill people with total impunity and if they can't do that what's the point of even being a cop?

And so here we are today and there are people who unironically think "the libs defunded the police" when at most a couple of cities changed the description of a couple of budget items to call it "public safety" instead of "police" even though it was the exact same thing.

it was transphobic

>>21414969 (OP)
COVID changed everything. I live in NJ which is considered the diner capital of the country, because diners were 24/7 and you could go stop into any town in the state and the diners would be packed at 2-3am. Very few still exist past 12am and even fewer are 24/7.

When I was working in Florida 10 years ago, I would tell my co-workers that in Jersey you can start your night at 10pm and still have a fulfilling night. I miss it.

You actually did vote for this. You decided that destroying your own leftie cities to own the white people (who have been fleeing in DROVES since 2020) was the way to go.

Now you're complaining that your shitty late-nite places aren't open, because you voted to close them in essence. You had a choice - law and order? Or voting progressive. You chose wrong apparently and still can't admit it.

Keep voting to completely destroy your lame liberal city, then keep making threads complaining about the consequences of your actions, and I'll keep mocking you. This is fun.

Violent crime is even lower than pre-pandemic levels in major cities anon.
Turns out lockdowns did have the benefit of completing fucking up gang recruitment pipelines in ghetto schools.
24/7 restaurants aren't as common because the prime demographics all had massive changes in their behavior due to COVID:
>people in their early-to-mid 20s trying to soak up booze
Young people are overly online prudes who think a stranger talking to them at a bar is assault
>low-tier but upwardly mobile white collar workers grinding an all-nighter
this group has good enough home office space now, even if they are in a small apartment
>third-shift blue collar workers
Probably the only group that still somewhat really values these, but blue collar work pays well enough that most of these guys would probably go home and watch something or play a game on the super nice TV they bought on discount during COVID

This is not accurate violent crime rates in some cities are higher than pre pandemic levels in some cities its approached pre pandemic levels and in others its "lower" assuming the police even respond to or record a violent incident at this point.

Its still a thing but I found because industry workers are so low trust they don't openly advertise them.

>>21415289
>Violent crime is even lower than pre-pandemic
What is lack of or less reporting. Trust in police has gotten so low some people aren't even calling in crimes because response times are too low or they are afraid the person will be just let back out immediately after being arrested.

Post-COVID? The only stores open after 9 pm are gas stations and only one of those is actually open 24 hours. Now if I want to go grocery shopping on a work day I have to get up early and go knife fight a bunch of old people in crowded aisles in order to get my shit and leave in a timely manner.

Saying ‘COVID happened’ is like answering ‘gravity’ when someone asks why you fell off a building. It’s not wrong, it’s just not an explanation. You’ve mistaken the name of the event for an account of its consequences, structures, and motives.

Places didn’t start closing earlier because of a virus. They closed because of legal overreach, labor collapse, safety theater, corporate consolidation, and cultural reprogramming. COVID was the pretext. The infrastructure was already waiting. You don’t need to agree, but if you think that’s too complex to discuss, just say you gave up. Don’t pretend silence is insight.

The only places in my shit city that stay open all night are Winco, Jack in the Box and Hardee's. Everyone else is a bunch of lazy cunts. Like, Wal-Mart and Taco Bell don't have any excuse for closing before midnight, and they didn't used to do it either, but then every corporation started using corona as a crutch to get lazy and do whatever they wanted. It's a fucking joke, the pandemic ended like five years ago. They're just being assholes now.

>the number of people having access to the internet steadily increasing ever since its inception
>a subset of said people using it increasingly more and more in their free time
>said subset of people becoming addicted to ragebait and the dopamine it gives them (which they should be getting from more appropriate activities)

Businesses started closing early because they were either expected to, or hey used the situation as a scapegoat to cut their least profitable hours. Then after the expectation stopped being around they kept the schedule since it increased their profit. Some businesses were already slowly going to this schedule before covid.

Pretty cool I guess if I were still 17.

But every town has at least one gas station quickstop that stays open 24 hours, right?
I can't think of even any small towns within 100 miles of me that doesn't have anything. Population over 2,500 always seems to have one. That must be a rough 6 - 8 hours of closed for those people who don't have that option. Sometimes you just really need something in the middle of the night.
Usually it's Cornnuts or cigarettes or condoms or some last minute alcohol but maybe it's cough medicine or emergency milk. Maybe you have a hankering for one of those giant mega burritos because you got real baked. But I don't know what I'd do without my local one. If you're up all night on stims or psychedelics and you crave some sort of human interaction it's THE place to be at 3:00.

People just changed their public behavior permanently in a lot of ways during and since covid, which includes going outside and actually going into establishments much less. A lot of businesses here have shorter business hours now because they realized it's pointless to keep the place open all night for five people. That said the 24/7 restaurants were already slowly phasing out before, but covid accelerated it by a lot.

a whole fucking shitload of people died in one year which finally activated years of resentment for working ass jobs for chump change and actually gave people the market leverage to say "pay me more or i'll quit" and have it matter. now fast food wages are near $15/hr or more across the nation and nobody wants to pay for a night shift to stay open for a region where people probably can't afford to make drunken 3AM food runs in droves anymore anyways. you guys don't have to overcomplicate this with racism or batshit politics or anything like that damn.

the only people who shop that late are crackheads, no one wants to work the night shift at some 7/11 in the mdidle of nowhere, your life expectancy has to be like 4 months

zoomers go to bars less and drunks are the main demographic buying food late at night

Gen z workers are so untrustworthy that having low income workers without a manager just leads to bad things.
Managers and normal people want nothing to do with an overnight shift and will change jobs if given one.
All while you are rarely going to make much more than the cost of paying employees, electricity, etc
And you still need closed hours to clean the grease out.

Young fools are who are customers at that hour and a young fool's money no longer stretches far enough to get wasted on $20 drinks at the bar before spending even more at a restaurant. That could be half their weekly income at a part time job.

I managed an electrical supply for years, me or the owner would open up in the middle of the night or on Sundays/holidays for our better customers who had our personal numbers.

When power goes out in any critical places, they need materials to get it back on asap.

The depot was just taking that concept and started treating any jackbag off the street like we treated our good customers and kept the store open all day on a skeleton crew to stock shelves and deal with any customers that showed up

24/7 was always unnatural and as someone who's occasionally been forced onto nights I'm glad that it's going away. I'd say a big part of why 24/7 is disappearing is because it's increasingly hard to find people to work nights and people who get forced onto them get burned out by dealing with night "people" and leave like I did.

>>21414969 (OP)
worked closing retail for years at open late place. nobody would come in after 9:30pm and if they did the majority would steal shit or do weird tweaker stuff.

While going grocery shopping at 3am was nice, even better is shopping at Walmart during autism hours. It has most of the 3am advantages (reduced lighting, no music or advertisements, no blinking screens) without the disadvantage of so much shelf stocking going on. There are more customers during autism hours but not terribly so.

>a bunch of blue states/cities got rid of bail
Not burgerian, so I don't exactly understand. Wouldn't getting rid of bail mean everybody has to stay in jail throughout the court proceedings? Wasn't bail just a way to legally bribe your way out of jail while the trial was ongoing? Did law enforcement pull a malicious compliance and do the exact opposite instead?

>>21414969 (OP)
The economy used to be better and people had nightlife. People stopped going out + black people rob places at night + no one has money to spend

>>21421638
Bail is money that is paid to compel a person to show up for court after being free between the time they are charged with a crime and when the trial takes place. The amount is set based on the seriousness of the crime and factors that indicate the likelihood of the accused of showing up. People who have been out on bail before and then failed to show up for court tend to have the amount of their bail set much higher than those who have no such history.
Police have nothing to do with setting bail. It is up to the judge when the accused is taken to court for the first time after being arrested. The prosecutor and defense attorney can make suggestions to the judge, along with their justification for their suggestions, but in the end, it's still up to the judge.

>>21421638
bail means you need to put down money or your house as collateral to ensure you show up to court and don't jump town waiting for your trial
Dems said this was racist so they now have "cashless bail"
"cashless bail" means it's the judge's discretion on if you have to stay in jail waiting for trial or not on most things. So in practice it means in places like nyc and nj black and hispanic criminals are never held in pretrial detention. Like the guy who force fed a woman human shit on the subway got released on casheless bail and then hate crimed a jew the same day and then got released on cashless bail a second time the same day.
one exception in say NJ is if you get accused of a violent crime like murder (maybe rape too) or if you violate one of the retarded gun laws that isn't a crime in like 40 states like having a magazine that holds 11 rounds or a bayonet lug you get kept in pretrial detention

there just isn't enough /biz/ to justify the longer opening hours.

7-11s are still MOSTLY 24hrs where i am at. but many of them closed down or moved to cheaper rent areas since their heydays of the 1990s and 2000s.

>>21414969 (OP)
Covid. Just like Walmart isnt 24/7 anymore. I used to work at a Mcblubbers for a while and it was a pain in the ass doing the night shifts. You get like a van full of drunk and stoned people roll up ordering like 200 nuggets, 15 cheeseburgers and all kinds of shit in the drive thru at like 3am after their done at the bar. Had a guy pass out actually behind the wheel in the drive thru after ordering lol had to call the cops because he was out cold.

So just... only one zip code in the entire country have any municipal service after sundown? Just gonna shut down power plants, sewage, hospitals, police, shipping, etc etc all night?

What sort of answer are you expecting? there is no conspiracy, they just realised that the costs outweighed the benefits. Covid and rising prices.

I don't live in the US or in a country affected by the Shanghai Shivers all that much. We don't even have many jews and no black people to speak of. Yet, 24/7 has also died here. I think businesses just realized they could get away with giving you less while still charging you more which seems to be the explanation for almost every change in the past few years.
Only local places have 24/7 locations and they're constantly struggling against big brands trying to muscle them out through any means possible.
Like most problems in life, the reason is greed.

The real question is if businesses that used to be 24hr will creep their hours over time, eventually ending up as 24 hour again. The Speedway near me closes at 10pm while the Sheetz is open 24 hours. Even when Speedway is open, I end up at Sheetz, in part because I don't have to think about if it will be open or not. While I don't have access to the sales figures for the nearby Speedway, it does seem like they have less customers than back when they were open until 2am before the pandemic. This is even true during the middle of the day.

>COVID happened
Yeah, this. It gave businesses an excuse to take amenities away and never give them back.
Blacks steal soda for years so now you can't pour your drink at some major chain, never mind top it up before you leave.
Uberjeets pop in and out of the dining area constantly to interrupt your eating experience, but want to use Wifi so you can distract yourself? Sorry, you're stuck with your own data. The restaurant can't be bothered to let you use the internet connection they pay for to receive foodcuck orders on the wagie tablet.
Want salt or pepper? Want to use the toilet to wash your hands before eating? Go humiliate yourself by asking permission to avail yourself of a simple service.
To make matters worse, cities are on board with bag taxes, and eliminating plastic straws that last more than ten minutes and plastic utensils that actually pierce and cut your food. Oh, but don't forget you have to ask for them. LEGALLY, YOU MUST ASK FOR THE SIMPLE SERVICE THAT USED TO BE COMPLEMENTARY.
This shit is designed to create animosity between wagies and customers, like the Chipotle psychopath execs do for fun.

>This shit is designed to create animosity between wagies and customers, like the Chipotle psychopath execs do for fun.
Honestly I think it's more that profit-seeking inherently breeds animosity in a zero-sum market, which things like franchised fast-food have increasingly become.

It doesn't HAVE to be zero-sum, but the kind of easy expansion, lack of existing market (along accordingly legal and practical regulation), cheap land, and relatively wealthy plebs that McDonalds and the like could capitalize from the 60s is less and less worthwhile.
The rise of food trucks seem like one of the natural consequences on this,

>>21427107
>plastic utensils that pierce and cut your food
I cant imagine any items coming from the modern food industry being solid enough to need cutting. they make sure everything is soft enough for toothless geriatrics to not choke on.

It was only a thing in the busiest airports and biggest capital cities.
Economy is bad and no-one can afford to go out and pay $14 each for beers on a weekend anymore, so everyone's staying in.
Its not financially viable anymore for businesses to stay open after 9pm.
Even bars close at 1 or 2am now, they used to stay open until 7am but not anymore.

>>21430274
During the Great Recession, none of the things people are now blaming on "no one has money" were going on. There were plenty of 24/7 stores. There were people having sex and birthing children. Blaming "the economy" is a cope and usually just a hidden appeal for gibs.

>>21430347
I think you're just retarded. The '08 crash was good for most working people's cost of living, in the way that rent prices had to temporarily drop.

The billionaires decided that there must be a permanent curfew on the slave class, this was spearheaded by Kroger and Walmart with many other businesses falling in line.
The rich and powerful can force what they want on you, there isn't even a real curfew it's a de facto one. But you still can't do shit at night.

>>21430407
It has caused me to distrust government bureaucrats and media coverage of science more. Scientific reporting by the cooperate press has always been garbage, but now it has become brazen agenda-seeking propaganda. I don't use Facebook so I cannot comment on the antivax memes. Public policy was also terrible, closing down some businesses while supermarkets and other big retailers or businesses declared "essential" by the state got to stay open, anecdotally seeing more foot traffic in them than any point in my life prior to or after the great plague of 2020. I would never get behind another lockdown, even if it was in the interest of public safety.

Fast food workers unions are the only growing unions in the USA and are poised to implement 8-hour workdays for everyone across the country.

Okay, so saying "COVID happened" is actually like answering "he pissed off his friend" when someone asks why one of those two guys fell off a building. Because shit's fucking obvious to anyone over the age of 12 when it happened, as you proved by stating all of what "because covid" means while pretending it wasn't adequate.
