    I’ve seen an ad on German television (yea, yea, I still do watch it) whose whole point was that Saturday should be a [Edit: free day day off], but it’s marred by having to do grocery shopping. The climax of that ad was a woman shouting “Let’s take back our Saturdays” Braveheart style.

    The ad is for a service that has people shopping for you. I wonder when their busiest day will be…

      I’m a bartender. I work when other people are off work. I thrive on their days off. I have days off too, just not yours. Not everybody wants to work a 9-5.

      • My years of hospitality were pretty darn convenient. Sure, it was hard scheduling things with people working 9-5, but errands were always a breeze. Virtually no lines anywhere, everything open, negligible traffic. I could swing by the DMV on a whim.

          When I lived in New York I was flabbergasted any time I had to ride the subway during morning rush hour. I could never live with having to do that every day.
