In recent years, shops have been extending opening hours almost all days of the week in many parts of world. I believe that this is a positive development, as it has numerous benefits for local people and shop owners.
To begin with, more opening hours bring many advantages to community. These kind of shops can open opportunities to buy their necessities anytime. Take students or shift workers as an example. In the mornings, students usually need to buy things for their studies or while commuting, shift workers want to buy snacks or drinks in the early morning or evening. It brings customer satisfaction. Another benefit can be reducing unemployment rates. Students while studying far from their home, they need to earn money for themselves. And they can work in the night shift.
It is also beneficial for shop workers. 24/7 hours of work may open many doors for workers. Flexible hours of the work may help them to adapt to their job. For instance, in the night, there may not so many customers, and they can learn cost of the products or they can check expiration date of the products. Furthermore, by working morning or night shifts, they can improve their job prospects. They gain more opportunities for their future jobs. For instance, they learn how to interact with people or with their colleagues and while working, they may learn many things from each other.
To sum up, despite some drawbacks of opening hours of shops all days, it has more benefits like customer satisfaction and decreasing unemployment rates.
