Interesting argument. I don't see your examples in the real world. Wal-Mart was distributing aid better than FEMA during the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. As for your example of the DMV, yes they can save on labor cost but business would suffer if they were to close early. I do not see many businesses cutting their hours opened simply to save money. It would not be beneficial to them. It would hurt their profits. To make profits you must cater to the consumer.
