Even 10am seems early.

When I have a week day off and see people shopping I always wonder who are all these people? I can't see everyone being off that day, the same day.

Besides people with the day off?

People who are not employed for whatever reason (housewife/househusband, between jobs, on permanent disability, medical leave, retired, on sabbatical, etc.)

People who work second shift

People who work third shift

People who work part time

People on call

Seasonal employees

People who work non-traditional schedules[1]

People who have flextime at work

Students who have late classes or no classes that day

[1] Examples: a friend who worked 12 hour shifts Fri-Sun but had M-Th off; another friend who works 10 hour shifts M-T and Th-Fri with Wed and the weekend off.

I don't disagree with your list but living in a fairly small town of 70,000 it seems odd to see so many people out.

You can add tourists to the list too.
