My office used to be in a block that had shops on the ground level, one of the car park facing stores was a liquor outlet, the cars were already parked out front waiting for it to open by 07:00 in the morning 6 days a week. It opened at 09:00 if i remember correctly, but boy were people staring at the front door for a few hours each morning anyway
