This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

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.

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.

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.
