OP said it's not ok to open anything if he doesn't have time to come visit it. It's done.

Doesn't you bank let you deposit checks into the ATM? Or have people there on saturday mornings? For Doctors offices - find one that works on weekends or later in the evening, they set their own hours. Might be more expensive, but if thats the only time you can go then it will work.

Probably because the dentist has a life and things to do as well.

I generally agree. At least a Saturday. And many banks have morning hours on Saturdays. But also doctors appointments are a perfectly valid use of sick time. Not saying you should have to use sick time to go to the doctor but it's allowed.

Most banks I know of are open on Saturday. Plus you can always use the ATM. I chose my current dentist because they are open until 8pm Tues-Thurs, and on Saturday mornings. Such offices do exist, you just have to look for them.

I'm pretty sure the most logical reason is money. Most places would lose money operating off shifts. I agree certain services should be available 24/7 but there needs to be a solution to operating costs.

Err they are. Just sounds like the US is a decade or so behind

Eh. OP does not speak for the entirety of the US. OP speaks for OP. My banks have a late evening and are open on Saturdays. My doctors have evening and weekend hours. Some banks and doctors not do that. OP needs to find the institutions that do. It's not that difficult.

This is why PTO is boss. If you don't have PTO, unionize.

I feel this way about nail salons. I would love to do 8 or later nail date with my girlfriends, especially because it's better to go right to bed after nails so they don't get messed up immediately.
