The new store hours remind me of:
Just let u guys know stores like wal mart n also grocery stores like no frills for ex. are working 24 hours theres always employees restocking the shelvs so the only difference between a regular day of the year n december at wal mart is that there is a cashier.
Ajith, I have just now registered and added my blog.
Well at least they don’t have 1 person working all 24 hours. I know years ago when I worked at a Wal-Mart, I enjoyed working the overnight shift.
The store really have good working hours. I was actually searching something like this. I would love to publish it on istorehours.com so that max people can take its advantage.
People work shifts all over the place. The convenience for shift workers and parents with children is awesome having a store open 24 hours.
We now live in a world economy, and have for awhile.
I think all stores should be open 24 hours.
Those whining about having to work late or for crappy wages either have no concept of reality, or are limited in their education, no insult intended. With 24 hour openings, you can actually work a full 8 hours and then pop off to school to further your education.
I see this as nothing but good.
Wonderful site. Lots of useful information here. I am sending it to a few friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks to your effort!
I would love to buy only local made goods and forget chinese products. The problem is, when I can afford the higher prices I will look at the labels. If I can afford only cheap stuff from Walmart, I am stuck with what they have. I already avoid Pier1 because I know the products come from all over the world. If I knew where to shop and save on quality products, I would. I am not convinced however that canadian would be higher quality.
As for the business hours, I really like the option of shopping at night. When I was working 12 hour shifts at the hospital and stores would be closed by the time I managed to make it there after work, it was very helpful to know I could shop later. I would always take advantage of the convenience and avoid the crowds. Also when I had my twins I could get out of the house only at night when I got help. It was nice to just get out and read the newspaper or the tabloids for an hour for free and often that was the only time I had for adult conversations between breast feeding and diaper changes and a few hours of sleep.
I never noticed that the employees were treated poorly in my community. Maybe in the US they are?
Wish Wal-Mart would be open 24hrs past the 24th od Decemberm,the whole month of December would be perfect!!
I hate waitin in lines and don’t mind shopping at 2am on times when the wait in line is almost an hour!
What I love even more was if I’d stay on 24hrs all year around.
There is always something you need at 3am when your not feeling well, but Shoppers will do for that!
I live in oshawa ontario , i went several years now to wal-mart at 3am
it’s awwsome less line ups and more time to shop and less time being bugged by th eamount of people , daily nightly deals and specials … who wouldnt wanna be there? employee;s get special rates for being christmas dont think they are being worked like dogs .
again … wally-mart being 24/7 at christmas is a grace!!!
it deffently helps out not being busy ..
and deffently helps to be able to find parking specialy in SNOW!!!!
better prices than the 24 / 7 shoppers down here!!!!
(L)in the wal-mart supercentre! OSHAWA
I work two jobs, have two young sons, had Walmart NOT been open 24 hours for the Holiday season, I would NOT have been able to buy my childrens gifts this year as the ONLY time I had to do any shopping was after midnight when my second job ended!!!! I wish there were more stores that would stay open all night!!!! I love my Sobeys 24 hour store as MANY MANY MANY nights after working my second job, I had to buy groceries.….so yes BOB, there ARE people who NEED to shop at 4 AM .… been there done that, many times!!!!
