Yeah I never understand why people argue for permanent DST so it can be lighter in the evening all year round. Is it because we're all stuck in the mindset that work has to be from 9 to 5, and your favorite show has to come on at 8pm?
If everyone has to shift their schedules earlier you might as well just change the time, that way you save people from having to scrape off and repaint their store hours on their glass front doors.
