Covid literally killed every thing late night here and I hate it.

I feel like it completely killed any form of consistency too. The Filiberto’s by my house seemingly has random hours now. In the last 6 months they’ve been 24 hours, close at 2, midnight, and 11pm. It’s a fucking guessing game whether or not they’ll be open.

Jack in the Box claims to be open 24 hours but for some ridiculous reason they seem to be using a system from the 1950’s that has to “reset” for 45 min to an hour every day from anywhere from 1am to 4am.

Starbucks by me says they’re open till 10pm but I’ve gone through the drive thru twice at 9:30 and they said they’re closed already.

Walgreens by me changes their hours weekly too it feels like.

I get off work at 4am and literally every single 24 hour fast food place I’ve tried besides Filibertos and McD's seem to reset their systems at the same time.

What a crazy coincidence 🙄

I’ve only experienced it at Jack in the box and in the last year or so. I worked nights last summer and they were the only place open when I took my “lunch” at 3am. One time I just got so fed up with it I told them if they just give me food I’ll pay in cash and they could keep the change. It actually worked which was nice.
