This is a real problem?  I remember the first 7-11 in my neigborhood,
when I was six years old.  This was the first grocery store with long
hours in the area.  Since then 7-11's have gone to 24-hour service,
shopping centers have all extended their hours till 9 P.M., and a
grocery chain and a drug chain (Fry's and Walgreen's, respectively)
are open 24 hours a day.

The pace of stores going to long hours is amazing.  That someone
would pick now as a time to complain about stores being open only
from 9-5 is more proof that the universe is fundamentally silly.
