Honestly, from all my retail jobs between high school to now, nighs shifts were the best. They were the only time in my retail jobs where I would go to work, previous shift manager would tell me what needed to get done by the end of my shift, and just leave me to it. I was advised to bring something to read with me on my first day.

I could bang out all my work in one go, then sit and read for the rest of the night, and nobody cared. Plus, there weren't that many customers, and most of them tended to keep to themselves, anyway.

When I did overnight grocery in another company, there was even less customer interaction, and we could bring little speakers with us to play music while we stocked our aisles, as long as we didn't blast it crazy loud or have something playing with tons of profanity. Out of all my positions working with the public in retail, those were easily the best. Also, given the minimal staffing on the overnights, we really only saw each other when we all took our breaks, so work place drama was pretty minimal.
