The reason for this is to save and conserve energy. Started in 1987, it used to be the first Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October, now they changed it to the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November.

I think they were aware of that and are used to it by now. There is an upside to this bussiness, you never feel lonely.

The only bad thing about working in a clock shop is you're constantly taunted by how much time left you have in the day and not to mention the constant ticking is enough to drive anyone to madness.

i still dont get how daylight savings is important!? its pretty much setting it up forward in spring + backward in fall = zero time changed the whole year! why not just leave the clocks alone O.o? How the heck does it even save energy? someone please answer me.

Indiana instituted DST about three years ago. Watching the sun set at 10:30 PM during the apex of summer is fun, but it's not all that useful in the colder months
Comments on madness coming from someone named "BinkieMcFartnuggets?" ;-)
Seriously though, that's my dad in this video, and having worked at the shop for many years, you have a point about how much time is left in the work day, though most of the clocks aren't set right, I did know which ones to look at for the right time.
The ticking thing though... doesn't bother me a bit. You get used to it and it becomes background noise.
Did you hear that ringing sound? Maybe I'm just hearing something.
