The K Mart near me is open 24 hours a day all year round - I have often wondered why?

And yesterday the fish shop in the same mall was advertising that they were open from 08.30 yesterday (Thursday) continually until 5pm Christmas Eve.

Do people set the alarm for 3am to go shopping for prawns??

You might be surprised. When still in the UK I was travelling home from work at 3am in the week before Christmas. Thought I would call into Tesco and get a few bits and pieces.... and I couldn't get in the car park it was that full. !!

A few years ago there used to be an ad on TV for a massive bra sale (ONE MILLION BRAS!!!). I could never figure out if it was trying to advertise a huge sale, or whether they had massive bras up for grabs. Anyway, it was the shoutiest ad on TV.
