Serious question, has anyone else noticed how quiet the produce section is at the 24-hour grocery on 5th Street?

I went there at 2 AM last Tuesday and realized the constant hum from the coolers is completely gone, which made the whole place feel oddly peaceful. Do other stores do this overnight or is it just to save power?

Wait, are you sure it was off? I mean, I go to that same store super late sometimes and I swear I can still hear the coolers, just way lower. Maybe they turn them down but not all the way off? It could be that at 2 AM your brain just tunes out the background noise.

Honestly, my brain checked out way before 2 AM.

But what if the coolers are actually louder at night? I've noticed some stores get quieter overall, making those hums stand out more. Your brain might be hearing them better, not tuning them out.
