Why does society punish people in work?

When I used to work (long time ago) I did a standard 9 till 5 job. Yet my bank opened at 9:15 and closed at 4:45. It was always difficult to sort things out cause some things cant be done over the phone. Come the weekend I was free but the bank was closed. So I had no access.

Now I am technically unemployed I have no problems. I can give lots of examples like that. That is just one.

So, why does society, intentionally or inadvertantly punish people in work?

Haircut was the same for me. Nightmare. Saturday mornings was my only option.

Your bank is closed on a Saturday?

I think you just needed to change banks.

I said this was a long time ago. The shops are still closed on Sundays. I like to rest on Saturday as I'm sure many people do. So if you work it's a pain. Seems all the incentives are to not work.

Most white collar office jobs will let you leave for an hour in the middle of the day to go to the bank or whatever, its not like working retail as a student where you are constantly on the clock and have to account for every minute of your time
