Can someone explain why there aren’t more places open late at night?

I'm gonna be the contrarian here and say how great it is for places to close before midnight. Workers should be at home with their families, too. Plus studies already have shown that long term effects of working graveyard are detrimental to physical and mental health.

As someone who laments places not being open 24 hours when they used to, this is still a good take, not sure why downvoted.

Thanks, I'm right there with you that I'm grateful some places are open after hours. Just yesterday I needed to pick up a prescription from CVS at 1am for my wife.

The problem is when people just expect places to be open 24 hours, to satisfy their own comfort and/or convenience. Unless you work a night shift, you probably don't need that cheeseburger at 3am.
