And that brings up another point- days of the week. With the sunrise at 21:00 I will work over a day change. Now there is confusion as to what day of the week it really is. If you don't believe me, try going to a Burger King drive through at 1:00 am and try getting the "next day's" deal that night.

As I said, a lot of work to save a few travelers adjusting their watches. As for the zig zagging that our timezones currently do; that is so that all of one province, state, or country can be in one zone.
Oh absolutely...I'm not saying I'm agreeing or disagreeing with the OP, just that some were not getting the gist of the original post. For the record, I do think it would be mass confusion, at least at the beginning. Sure you would know exactly what time it was anywhere in the world...but you would still have no idea where they were in their day.
