I used to work a full time job mostly in the evenings and on weekends (stage technician). I went shopping during the daytime. I got berated by a shopkeeper for being precisely that last option.
As someone who worked nights for a long time, there is a crazy amount of people who don’t have the mental capacity to conceive that a different work/sleep schedule is possible. The number of people who, upon finding out I worked 11pm to 7am, genuinely assumed that I still woke up at “normal” time in the morning, and just sat around watching TV all day until it was time to go to work again was pretty astonishing.
