Some shops are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Do you think it is a good thing for the customers, shop staff and company as a whole? ( 7th Jan GT essay – India)



Today, we belong to a 24/7 society. All 24 hours are ours, and we should take advantage of the given time and do our best. This could be very beneficial and because it adds to productivity. Round-the-clock shops are part of this society. Definitely, it is advantageous for the customers, staff and the company as a whole.


Customers are benefited in numerous ways. To begin with, today’s, work routine has changed. Many jobs require late-night or early-morning shifts. They may range from truck and taxi drivers to police and firefighters, to hospital and manufacturing employees. People are staying up later and getting up earlier and they need a convenient place to shop. Moreover, 24-hour stores also benefit those with more urgent needs, such as patients released from hospitals during the night in need of pain medication, and parents whose sick child needs a prescription. The growing needs of an aging population can also not be overlooked. What is more, this allows parents to shop for family needs almost any time of the day or night without interrupting crucial time with children. They can do the shopping after children go to bed. Finally, such stores are a boon for those who do not like to shop during the day because it is too busy and overcrowded.

The 24 hour supermarkets have benefited job seekers too. Plenty of jobs have been created and there are more choices for people to apply for evening work as vacancies are there for late evenings and early mornings. Full time positions are now available for people who would like to work within the evenings or for those who can only work in the evenings. Night shifts are the only way to go for those who have day commitments such as students. Moreover, the rate of pay for evening work can sometimes be more than that during the days. Additionally, there are staff discounts on the goods sold within such shops as well as other company benefits which is why working within such supermarkets is very popular among many job seekers.

The companies themselves will also gain from opening the stores for 24 hours because it will enable them to get more business as shoppers are welcome to shop and purchase whenever they want and whatever they want. They will also be able to take on staff specifically for stacking and filling shelves because during the day there will be too many customers around to be able to fill the shelves properly. 24 hour supermarkets also enable deliveries for any time of day and night without the need of worrying about late deliveries due to the store having to close.

In conclusion, it can be said that 24-hour-shops are a boon for the customers, staff and the companies as a whole.
