That is the best question I have seen.

Maintenance occurs in office buildings during late evening to the early morning hours; this would consist of janitorial tasks.  In retail outlets, stocking (and related activities) is the primary activity performed during these hours.  Please note that there may be exceptions.\n\nThese jobs are primarily performed during these hours (as opposed to when the building/store is open to the public) purposely, to prepare the premises for opening the next business day.  For example, it would not be practical to rearrange store shelves or to vacuum hallways at other times.

It's never happened to me, but  I'd put a lock on my door.  That would solve the problem, especially if they don't have the courtesy to knock first.

Not in my experience for them to be closed - it is the other way around. They must be opened.\n\nThis is in case of emergency - lets in natural light, lets rescuers see inside.

My door is always open for sure.  I figure whomever is supposed to come will come.  I'm not in charge of fate or the destiny of others.  I don't believe in security - that it exists is a fallacy.  An open door to a criminal creates suspicion and they won't have it...they'd rather break and bust their way in.  An honest person would feel normal walking through my open door as they are 'open' themselves.  So it makes sense to leave the door open for honest folks, and know that an open door is a closed door to criminals who only always see only closed doors waiting for them to manipulate a way open.

They used to be open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; hence the name.  Now I think most of them are open all the time.

Not uncommon. Not fair.\n\nIf you work for a bank, they have to be open.

Well repo-men really try to make it so that they don't ever have to do this.  Mostly they wait till very early morning or late at night to do that so they don't have to put up with people.  \n  They are authorized agents of the bank and are just doing their jobs.  Your rights are limited in this matter.

Go to Walmart.com and search for the store near you.  If it is a SuperWalmart is it generally open 24hrs.  If it is a different Walmart, it completly depends.  Some open till midnight, some 24.

It's partly because of school children, when clocks go back like last week, it is lighter in the mornings making it safer for them to walk to school.  When the children go home in the afternoon, it is still light enough despite it getting darker an hour earlier.\nWhy not leave the clocks there?  It is because farmers in the summer like to have an extra hour of light in the evenings so they can get more work done.  In general people like to have light longer in the evenings, especially when sitting out in the sunshine.\n\nIt does seem odd to keep messing with the clocks - some people go into work an hour early or late because they forget to change them.  My son has a Sunday job and he was up an hour earlier than he needed to be last weekend.  I just had an extra hour in bed - it does have some uses!\n\nPersonally I don't really mind the changes - in autumn it makes it feel like Christmas is nearly here, and in spring it cheers me up because summer and long evenings are on their way.

It really depends.  Typicallyin the United States it is 9:00am until 5:00pm Monday through Thursday, and 9am until 6pm on Fridays.  However, there are some banks, like the one that my business banks with, that is 9am until 4pm, except on Friday's where they stay open until 6pm.  Then there are some credit unions that stay open from 9am until 6pm Monday through Friday and 9am until 12pm or 1pm on Saturdays.\n\nThen there's my bank that is Monday through Friday 9am until 7pm and 9am until 5pm on Saturdays.\n\nSo they do vary, but typically banks will stay open longer on Fridays.  It really depends on your bank and where you live, what country you live, etc.\n\nHope this helps!

lock down is the same everywhere, but can be only a inmate, a cell block or the entire institution.\n\non a inmate, he is in basicly in his cell 24 hours a day 7 days a week, except for manditory yard time ( which is often still by his self)  and to shower.\n\nAn intire cell block can be that way either because it is a lockdown all the time and inmates on lockdown are moved there.  ( called the "hole" on various TV shows)\n\nso if there is a problem, fight or some issue, the guards can call a lock down of that cell block in which all inmates in general population have to return to thier cells right then.

From my experience, it is for a couple of reasons.  First, the holiday season can be crazy for stores, and it helps the store control crowds better if everyone enters through one door and exits through one door.  Also, it is a loss prevention issue.  Shoplifters want to make a quick exit, and employees can keep track of people leaving the store better if they are only exiting through one door.
