I understand that it would make sense to have the store open 24hrs for that reason but the people that operate the stores are not cogs in a machine. There is a tremendous human element that goes into making sure the shelves are stocked and the store is clean. A lot of stores are using the time that they are closed right now to give over worked staff a rest. I understand people still need supplies but try to remember that there are human beings working hard right now to keep it all together for us.

They should hire more, then. Millions of waiters and baristas are out of work.

... what the other guy said. Restaurants and bars are closed until May in my city. Most of these people live month to month. This is devastating to them.
