Retirees, students, the unemployed and the travelling businessmen/self employed that have the ability to fit a couple of hours into the middle of a workday. People that work in retail/service jobs that don't necessarily work a generic Monday-Friday. Night workers. People at companies with flexi-hours.
That said, I'd love to balance my work with the ability to not stand in queues for shops because I can only go at the same time as the majority of other people. I do much of my food shopping as close to midnight as possible and buy most other things online to avoid the crowds.
Passed a certain (lowish) threshold of income, I'd almost universally rather less hours than more money.
- pepijndevos 11y agoRight? I could rent a room and buy the things I wanted and had money to spare. I wasn't even making that much money. Why would I work many long days to no personal benefit? Except maybe to save for my pension and/or buy luxury items and toys I don't need. Only if I had a significant other and offspring would it make sense to make more money.

- burkemw3 11y agoI've tried grocery shopping at off hours, especially late night as you mentioned. I was surprised to find the grocery effectively just as crowded, not by people but by re-stocking efforts. Lots of pallets left in the aisles with stock waiting to be put on a shelf. The checkout lines are certainly shorter, though.
