In the 1990s I worked with a guy who told me he gets up at 2 A.M. to change all their clocks at home.
A day or so later his wife stopped in to take him to lunch and, chuckling, I mentioned it to her.
She said Well, thats when they change.
Obviously a couple meant for each other.

(34,195 posts)We did get paid that extra hour.
What I hated was when the 7 A.M. shift came on after the clocks had been turned ahead one hour in the Spring.
Even though warned ahead of time, someone always showed up an hour late for work claiming they forgot to turn the clocks ahead.
It was usually the slackers who called in sick a lot, etc.

(23,369 posts)Mostly, "when" you change the time doesn't matter. But for bars, it's an opportunity to sell for another hour. Gain an hour in the fall, but don't lose an hour in the spring. Bartender magic.
