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.
Why would there be confusion over what day it is. Once it hits 00:00 it's another day.

You work shift could go from one day to another. I'm sure there are plenty of people now who work through midnight.

So in Calgary if you're working a 16:00 to 00:00 normal day shift, you better leave a few minutes early to get that Burger King deal
