Sure, but anything offered outside the 9-5 window is someone who has to adjust their hours so that it's more convenient to people who work the standard 9-5. That's why the places that tend to be open outside the 9-5 window are the ones that tend to employ the lowest-paid people. Gas stations, convenience stores, etc.
The best paid 9-5 jobs also offer employees the freedom to visit the doctor, dentist, kid's school, etc. whenever they need to, no questions asked. It's basically a perk that you only get if your skills are rare enough that employers have to offer it or the talent will go elsewhere. If we wanted more people to have those perks, the way to achieve it would be the same way that the 9-5 workday was created: powerful unions and violent strikes.
