As someone who generally begins their shifts around 4-6am, and who was put on pre-closing and closing shifts for a couple of months, I notice a huge difference in the kind of partners who work those shifts. In general, I have older partners and more motivated partners working with me in the morning, and younger partners and partners who tend to slack off a lot in the evening and at night. At my store, most of the night shifts are enablers of this too. Working those shifts kills my back, I go home with pants wet from the sink loads the mids and mornings leave us, and we often leave late. I can't help but think that night crew culture is fucking around though, because I rarely work with people during those shifts who don't inexplicably slip into the back and chill on their phones while the shift does the same thing or something similar. Is this a shared experience? I changed shifts those months so I could see how I could help make the nights easier as an opener and vice versa. The night job is hard as shit and the morning shift is delightful. Why does that lead to people dicking around more often at night?
