this is a cognitive bias. it's really interesting.

google used to be good, because if the hours were there, someone had put effort in. they were 95% accurate for CONUS. but over the last 6~ years the quality has degraded. Only about 65% accurate now. And to me, that's worse than unuseful, because i can't plan, i need to verify, so i might as well have gone to the store website anyways.

also who the heck needs open and close times? if you need that level of precision you need a personal assistant.

Uh I do?

Not all restaurants are open for both lunch and dinners, and in every country there's different ideas on what's the appropriate time for having a meal.

yup, I do too. It's no fun driving 20 miles just to find the office/store/restaurant/petrol station is closed either
