I worked retail at a major store ~45k sqft and we had people come in at 2-3am and work until 10-11am “stocking shelves”. Thing is, part of our closing duties when it wasn’t busy was to restock the shelves. So most of the time the people stocking just ducked around for 8 hours. They were always super chill but had terrible weed.
Basically every chain grocery store does this at least once a week as well. I remember them trying to get me to do it when I worked for one while in college. Acted like it was such a great opportunity to get an extra buck an hour, which I quickly refused.
Yeah, most of our stores close by 10, with a couple open to until 2. I worked as a night custodian for a time and hit the one 24/7 store sometimes on the way home.
Home Depot is an hardware shop in the USofA, right?
If so, why is an hardware store open overnight? What DIY emergency can come about that it can’t wait for working hours?

Gotta save the good stuff for after work 😎
These stores are not open at night. They sometimes have overnight staff that process loading bay trucks and/or restock shelves on the retail floor.

Go to any 24/7 store around 3-4am and you’ll probably see people restocking shelves.
I actually forgot 24/7 stores existed. I am too rural to have those nearby.
