I work overnights and some shifts are tougher other. We've had plenty of people start off on the overnight shift, and most of them try to switch to another shift as soon possible because they can't handle it. Night shifts can be rough.

Night shift absolutely sucks, and I'm deliberately lax on enforcing many of the store policies because of it. Late for your shift? If your shit gets done, I don't care. Don't like wearing the uniform? I don't either, just put your name tag on before the store opens. Forgot your lunch? Grab something from the cold case or whatever and pay for it when a checker wanders in later.

The only policies I enforce 100% are safety-related. I don't want someone cracking their head open because they were using a pallet jack as a scooter.
