> Who are they selling to on workdays anyway? Jobless people?

There are a whole lot of people in the world who's jobs are not "9-5" office jobs. Also on any given day there are a bunch of people who took the day off. And then there are the elderly, medical leave, etc.

The question is, how many of them are there compared to the typical "9-5" type which seems to compose the majority of western societies? And grocery stores are somewhat understandable, but who the hell goes to banks during workday, so that it makes sense for them to be open only Mon-Fri, 9-5?

The most important clients for a bank are businesses, not people, and businesses generally want to do their banking from 9-5.
