It’s not discrimination man. People (including bank and post office workers) work during 9-5 working hours, so it makes sense that these services are only open during working hours.

You’re reasoning from a presumption that ‘people’ _should_ all work 9-5. Why should they, and their customers, have the same working hours?

  • You're right. Why do their customers insist on working the same hours they do? You'd think they'd work different hours so they could run their errands when things are open.

  • No one presumes you 'should' work 9-5, but that is the way it is, and the bank/postal office/whatever employees don't have the option to work evenings. It is the way it is.

    Now whether we could have a better system -- Sure! I'm all for a better society. I'm just saying it's not the way it is because of discrimination or some other conspiracy.
