"Summer Camp"
- Single Day
- 3 Hours
- Just learn to be a wage slave
- All indoors, except presumably when you go out with an ipad to take orders from fucks in their car
I'm failing to see the camp here.

Oh, it’s more of a concentration camp than your traditional summer camp.
I wonder at what point in those three hours do they try to indoctrinate your child to think being gay is a moral failing.
Every Chic-fil-A I’ve been to has had at least one person working there who dropped a Gucci bag out of their mouth when speaking. This company really confuses me.
wait, 12pm is midday, not midnight?
That makes no sense at all.AM is ante meridian and PM is post meridian. It's referenced to the prime meridian through Greenwich UK. If the sun is to the east of the line (ie. Before noon where it is vertical) it's before (ante) the meridian. If it's after (post) noon it's after the meridian. It's all outdated but that's how time works.
12 pm isn't past noon, it's noon.
12 am is past noon just as much as it is before noon.
So for 12 o'clock, choosing am or pm is arbitrary convention.
So it would make more sense to reverse them, to get a consistant row that starts with 1:
1 am, 2 am, 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, 6 am, 7 am, 8 am, 9 am, 10 am, 11 am, 12 am, 1 pm , 2 pm , 3 pm , 4 pm , 5 pm , 6 pm , 7 pm , 8 pm , 9 pm , 10 pm , 11 pm , 12 pmExcept that you don't just use it for whole hours. 12.01 is clearly post meridian, so it has to be PM if you wanna keep the meaning. With your example 12 am and 12.01 pm would either be one minute apart or you'd have to drop the whole meaning of am and pm, which would just make it an entirely arbitrary construct that's even more difficult to understand.
On the other hand, as a European I'm quite happy with 24h time keeping. This whole am-pm system is quite unnecessary.
Not to defend 12hr time because it’s dumb as a bag of bricks, but 12:45pm is definitely past noon and having the time go from 12:00am to 12:01pm would be way too silly. Also, you can think of the moment between 11:59:59.999999~ as just before noon and 12:00:00.0000000001 as the first fraction of a second after noon if it helps.
The US loves systems of measurement that make no sense
Away and don't talk pish. Ok, 12pm sounds a bit odd, but it would be even more odd to say 12.05pm, 12.59pm then jump to 1am
Day camp is a thing that lots of places do, but still 3 hours seems a tad short. It's usually a week. And not to mention it's usually not so tied to a place of work.
