grok_mctanys...and shop at non-peak times - Morrisons are now closing at 8pm.
Because reducing the amount of off-peak shopping times, at a time when people are being encouraged to shop during off-peak shopping times, makes about as much fucking sense as anything else that's going on these days.
How nice to be rewarded for trying to do the right thing by being told upon reaching the shops that "ha ha, we're closing in 6 minutes. Better get that shopping done quick! lol"
Fuck this fucking timeline and the camel it rode in on.

There are lots of reasons for this:
- reserving certain hours of the day for NHS workers or elderly people
- needing more hours in the evenings to restock shelves which are stripped bare during the day
- staff shortages due to workers being ill / self-isolating / looking after kids and others
It's unhelpful in some ways, as you say, but I understand why they're doing it.
