Everyone looks forward to an early finish or a Friday night ready for the weekend.
But for one Nottingham shop worker, this isn't the case as she works seven days a week.
I went to Jessie's Corner Shop on Chelmsford Road in Basford and, while it looks little from the outside, it's a lot bigger inside.
Jessie, the owner of the shop, works there seven days a week with Christmas Day and Boxing Day being the only days the shop is shut.
Her children and husband sometimes help out, too.
It's clear Jessie isn't just a shopkeeper, she's a familiar, friendly face to many people in the area and treats her customers exceptionally.
With people coming in to buy the paper, lagers and top up their electricity, I can imagine that from 8.15AM to 9.30PM, when the store closes, Jessie's feet must kill at the end of the day.
Jessie, who greeted me on arrival, was speaking to another customer, one of her regulars she told me later.
The shop that sells pretty much everything - including birthday cards - must be ideal for people in the area.
One gentleman who came in to buy The Sun for the sports pages at the back had a quick conversation with Jessie about his new haircut and how he's going to meet his sister later for some lunch.
Jessie, who has worked in her shop for 31 years, told me more about what it's like being a shopkeeper.
Jessie said: "It's nice, people come in and you just have to be nice to everyone. Some people that come in are funny, some are rude but you just have to take that with a pinch of salt. The area was really nice when I first moved here and it still is but, if you cross the road at the Boulevard, it's a bit rough there."
With the most sold items being cigarettes, chocolates and fizzy drinks, people also buy lottery tickets regularly or come in to top up their gas and electricity.
Over the years, there's been many memories for Jessie and her family.
She said: "I can write a book, people who come in tell me all sorts of stories about their life and what they're doing. Some old people haven't got anyone. They call me the agony aunt."
With Aldi being Jessie's competition, she said that business hasn't been that great recently.
She said: "Business hasn't been great but it's OK., it's been since Aldi opened but the same girls still come in to buy their cigarettes.
"I think that shopkeepers are underrated, we do do a lot of hours and some people don't appreciate that.
"People come in, look at you and because they see you're a woman they think 'you won't do anything' if you nick something."
Jessie is thankful that the police make an appearance every now and again to check up on her.
She said: "The people come in, they make sure everything's all right. It's nice because you get to know them and the council got me a bin outside the shop, it's nice to know people by name.
"People come in and we have a laugh, all the prices are out and we sell all sorts, I really do love it."
