I actually like working the closing shift and I know most people hate it
Everybody at my diner fights over opening shifts but I volunteered for closings 6 months ago and it's way better. Less managers breathing down my neck and I made $85 in tips last night just from the late night regulars. Anyone else actually prefer the weird hours?

Late night regulars are a different breed for sure. Do they tip better because they're drunk or because they're just glad the place is still open?

Oh totally, "different breed" is right. I had a guy come in at 2 AM once, clearly had a few drinks, and he tipped me forty bucks on a fifteen dollar tab. I think it's a mix of both - they're feeling generous from the alcohol, plus they know you're the only place open and they appreciate you being there.
