ELI5: Why are banks only open Monday through Friday from 8-5, which is literally the only time that most people can't go to the bank due to work?

EDIT: Hoooly crap.. I posted this as a rant thinking it'd only get a few responses. Thank you everyone for your responses, whether smart, funny, dumb, or whatever else. I will do my best to comment back to avoid being the typical OP that everyone hates.

The actual target customers of banks are not individuals, but businesses. Businesses have far more cash to deal with than you do, and it typically isn't worth their time to stay open for your transactions during the weekdays. The banks are open when businesses are open and making deposits, which only makes sense.
