@Mycroft One forces the other, too. As long as "normal" means having weekends and evenings open, those are the times people will want to do things like shop or will need things cleaned and re-stocked, etc. And they get annoyed when things they need to do aren't available to them. The outrage I get when I have to tell people we're closing...sheesh.

So the more people we have working those "normal" hours, the more people will need those isolating jobs and face those problems. It does seem to make a lot more sense to just make "normal" more varied and stop the separation of "good" jobs and necessary ones and how we treat the people who do them.
