Things that annoy me this week

Feb 18, 2012 03:19

Restaurant/eatery websites, or any commercial premises website for that matter, which doesn't have any information on what time it closes other than "late".

What's late? 10pm? Midnight? 2am? Later? If I'm looking for somewhere to grab a snack at 9:45 at night, is it worth me getting in the car and driving twenty minutes to get to the place? What if I'm working all night and getting peckish around 4am? Is the place open or not?

It's not hard to put exact opening and closing times up on a website - that's kind of what they're FOR. If a business doesn't know how late it's going to be open on a given night, why not say something like "Open til midnight, possibly later depending on business"?

It'd also be nice to have a standard format for opening hours, as well, so that searches by Google and the Yellow Pages and whatnot could tell you if any of the places you'd searched for were currently open, and also the next time they were due to open/close.
