Do Arizona banks and post offices and stuff really change their hours in different seasons?
Nope. There really isn't much reason to. The winters are mild, and Arizona is far enough south that there's still a good amount of daylight in the afternoons, at least compared to the northern parts of the US.
I suspect that at least some of disconnect over DST is between people living at 40-50 degrees latitude who have short winter days and those living further south.
Normally they match winter sunrise and keep it fixed all year long.
