Except that in places like home depot and a grocery store, there's always
stocking going on...so you already have the work crew there, you already
have the store lit 24/7...so all you have to do is hire one or two more
people to man the registers.  Then you can turn that 6-7 hours of
no-profits into at-least-some-sort-of profit.
