I disagree. It's not like the old grouches have to get the kids ready and taken to school or daycare so they can get to work by 8:00 a.m. They've got ALL DAY AND EVENING, all 7 days of the week to go to the store during less crowded hours like afternoons and evenings.
I try to bolster the worker's morale however possible when I see a poisonous old coot treat them like dirt. Sometimes it's so bad I've sought out a manager to tell them what I saw--that the worker did the right thing but was verbally abused by the customer. And sometimes, the manager doesn't really care. I pity the workers. Been there, done that, and will never forget what it's like on the job where snotty customers think they rule and then demand you be fired because THEY were creeps.
