Correct, but if you can do shopping at any time, you should aspire to do it when there are as few people as possible. That goes for everyone and it also works for most non group activities, such as driving
One of my favourite things about being retired is the ability to go to the shops in the middle of the day, when it’s quiet. No crowds. Parking. No rush. Bliss!
Even better, aspire to not use a car. Commute via bike or public transport.
Everyone has better things to do then sit in traffic, and its always tempting to blame someone else - eg. some old guy that you wish would have gone shopping at a different time. But if you are on the road in your car then you are traffic. You’re holding people up. You’re delaying people. And as the previous person said, you have no more right to use public roads than anyone else. So rather than wishing and hoping that other people will do something different, take initiative to do something different yourself.

I work mostly evenings and weekends and being able to run errands when it’s not busy and do chores when flatmates aren’t around makes up for it.
5pm at the restaurant. Retirees and families with little kids.
Having been a 2nd and 3rd shifter most of my adult life, I miss going shopping in the middle of the night when hardly anyone was there.
