I’m an opener and I can’t imagine staying awake late enough to close. I would feel like I’ve spent all day waiting for my shift instead of doing anything productive. Switching between opening and closing would be awful, though, bodies get used to a certain schedule and it takes time to get used to a new one.

Kiosk 7:30am opener here, used to be corporate 4:30am opener. It’s possibly my favourite shift bc the day goes by so quick and I still have time to run errands or relax at home. I can’t stand closing shifts bc I feel like my whole day is straight up wasted and that makes me super anxious!

I was an opener. I preferred it, lol. I'm quite perky and happy and it seemed to make the day go better. Plus being off by 12 was great. I always got a nap!!

I'm relatively new and my boss keeps putting me on early shifts... I live an easy 45 minutes away too. I just changed my schedule for the new year to aim for closing shifts more. Plus the closer trains me better from my lack thereof earlier.
