PART B_2

24-hour shops can be found anywhere in Japan. People go to these shops to buy various stuff. The number of 24-hour shops is increasing, so people need to consider some advantages and disadvantages of these shops. One of the advantages of 24-hour shops is their location. Usually, there are one or more 24-hour shops in every neighborhood. So, if someone just needs one or two items, there is no need to go to the supermarket. However, 24-hour shops also have disadvantages, and one of them is the long working hours for their workers. Some workers have no choice but to work long hours due to a lack of staff. It often makes workers feel stressed, which leads them to make mistakes or encounter problems while working. Still, 24-hour shops are important to society.
