Is it really necessary?

I really want to eat boiled corn tonight, so at 7:30 pm, I walked to the 24-hour convenience store outside the community and bought a boiled white jade rice. Then I saw coconut bread on sale and decisively bought 5, each weighing 90 grams.When I got home, I made a cup of coffee and added pure milk to it. Then I ate a loaf of bread and a piece of corn, and today my appetite was a bit heavy.In the second tier city where I live, convenience stores open 24 hours a day, and there are also 24-hour takeout deliveries, with fast delivery speeds.I can't understand this crazy behavior right now. Do you think it's necessary?

Let the market decide. If they do not have enough business in mid night, they may adjust their opening or service hours.

@zhangxueying Convenient stores are everywhere. They open 24x7. We are a populated city.

Yes it is. Everyone runs on different schedules, but we all need to eat. Having quick and easy ways to get food is important.

@zhangxueying Yep. Services exist for the general populous, so if one exists it serves a particular market.

It's indeed very convenient, but for me, I don't need services after midnight. Perhaps other people have needs, which is why such a business has emerged

There are a couple of 24 hour convenience stores in our city but Pretty and I don't go to them. Things are cheaper at the supermarket where we buy our groceries so we wait until they're open and go there.

You found a cheaper way, that's great. I usually look for discounted convenience stores online.

@Mohanda Perhaps it exists because there are many people who need it, but I don't think I need service after the early morning

I have never encountered this time to make a phone call. We have a software that automatically blocks harassing calls, only prompts for incoming calls, but the phone does not ring.

@zhangxueying We also can block such calls but you need to know the number first.

@sjvg1976 This requires the cooperation of others. As long as someone has received this number, everyone marks it as a harassing phone on the harassment software. When the number of people marked exceeds the specified number, the software can automatically block harassing phone calls.

This habit is also very good. I rarely order restaurant food now, but I often order supermarket food. For example, some 5-liter water, as well as large bags of toilet paper, it's great to have someone deliver something that's not easy to pick up. Of course, it's free to deliver when the specified amount is reached, and we don't give tips.

@zhangxueying - The governments here decides the business and shops hours and they do not want to see this craziness in our country. We can schedule our shopping, we are not toddlers who need absolutely something every 3 hours.

I think it's because the competition is fierce now that's why this is happening. Everyone is trying to grab business, but it feels too crazy

Where is second tier city,it sounds like my city offering 24-hours delivery service.Anyway i don't think such 24-hours service or stores are essential,after all,human are not machine,unable to work always without any break.on the other hand,such a restless serivce will cause a bad effect to competitor else,i think such a service was breaking market rules.

@zhangxueying ,at first,i appreicated tireless worker in each city,they contribute a lot for the city.but i also don't believe people can gain good life only through hard work.Hard work can maintain life for sure,but not necessarily bring a good life.
Choice and opportunitys are important likewise.

Haha, it seems that this situation exists throughout the country. I am in the provincial capital city of Liaoning. There are 24-hour delivery convenience stores here, as well as takeout from restaurants. Some bad customs are particularly annoying.achieve prosperity through hard work.Many people no longer believe this sentence
