Yes! This is a real problem!

First of all, unless the 7-11s in your area are unusual, they
don't carry all that much.  Second, just because *your* town
has a 24-hour drug/grocery store doesn't mean every town in the
world does.  I dare you to find a drug store open at midnight
in Beaverton Oregon.  (7-11 is *not* a drug store)

Many of us on the net do have flexible working hours, which
helps a lot, but it's still a problem, and there are a lot
of people who don't have flextime.
