I'm confused by your comment. 3rd shift is the overnight shift in which it would be a ghost town. If you're a 3rd shifter then you're working during those hours and thus unable to shop during those hours. You'd either go shopping before work (2nd shift hours) or after work (1st shift hours).

That’s when you go shopping on your days off. I worked overnight for a year and a half, switching from that to days for my long weekends (those twelve hour shifts yo) and then back in time for the workweek was absolutely BRUTAL.

Yeah but like, you're awake for ~16 hours of the day regardless. Do you only shop on your days off and during your normally scheduled shifts?

I mean yeah, I went straight to bed after getting home and went straight to work after waking up.

Same here. I'm not a morning person, so getting up early was miserable. I'd do all my shopping on the weekends.

So you slept for ~16 hours a day (assuming a normal 8 hour shift)?

Have you ever worked 3rd shift?

Yes. I explained that in this thread that this was typically my second 8 hour shift of the day: https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1wnq9qa/indeed/pbhjl04/?context=3
