Add to the list : 
	Beauty shops and barbers (accpet by appointment or on friday nite)
	Banks accept for drive up windows
		My bank closes at 6:00 pm but I can't get to
		town before 7:00 pm so I have to do it all on
		saturday if I'm lucky.
	Doctors and dentisits
	Telephone offices
	Media offices ( try and call a newspaer office to place
		an add after 5:00 pm)
	Public Utility offices
	Governmental functions (tax collector etc)

The whle world operates on the standard business day.

I guess the only real problem is that the business day for somethings is
shifted to allow for easse of access soon you would find the businesses
whose hours had not shifted would be shifting them to take advantage of the fact
that by matching their hours with the rest of the community the could 
profitable or efficiently make use of those same services during all
their business hours.

I talked with my bank about why they didn't stay open at the drive ups at least till  7:00 pm and I was told it was because aafter 5:00 om no one came in
because every one rushed over right after taking off early from work to 
get their banking done.
