The 24 hr Cala foods on Hyde! It might be the last one left. They keep saying they're going to close it but it hasn't happened yet. No, really, I'm mostly kidding, it's just that it's a weird throwback & freaks out the yuppies that live around there now. You know, narrow aisles, sketchy people returning cans for deposit downstairs, a homeless guy who lives in a doorway next to the parking lot, the occasional pigeon in the store. The security guards don't take shit, either. It's in a culture clash with the Whole Foods down the street. Of course, since I've been known to go there between 10 PM and 3 AM, my view may be a little skewed.
Not extra hours, just welfare hours. The welfare hours are what you get when you combine the Bewitching Hours (10 - 12), commonly found in bars & pubs, with the Witching Hours (12 - 2), commonly found in the bedrooms of horny teenagers and World-of-Warcraft addicts. The 2-3am stretch is unaccounted for; the latest theories essentially boil down to people being really hungry after witching all the folks they bewitched earlier. The crankiest among them have been rumored to call this the Bitching Hour, but most serious researchers regard this as apocryphal.

That's too funny! I believe in California they prefer to shoot while they drive.
you obviously don't shop at the same grocery store I do... of course, they would probably take somebody down for opening the bottle, anyway.
Amanda, where are you shopping? You live in a wonderful neighborhood....

Oh wow, yeah, those're the welfare hours.
If I go on welfare I get extra hours in the day? No one told me!!!

I was always staying 'till the club closed, and was generally not bitchy, but wanted Lucky Charms.
