Why would service industries continue at all? Why would anyone work service jobs? Next day they just reset. They never get paid but never go broke. No reason to work.
Some people will just work to do something. It’s pretty boring doing nothing every day. Especially customer facing roles where you can talk to people instead of staying home. For cooks they can hone their skills everyday.
I imagine most things would become a service barter situation. Like you make me a great meal and ill give you a massage. Or whatever. People would be pretty confined to a particular region if theyre returned there at the start of every reset, so you’d probably have a build up of a sort of reputation economy. Probably mass marketplaces would form up where people could trade ‘favors’. There’d probably be a new occupation that crops up where someone keeps track of credits and exchanges them, but any kind of physical currency would be useless. But if you wanted a service from a particular person who didnt want anything you could ogger, you’d need some sort of middleman to vouch for you or things could get complicated fast.
What difference does that make? If I pay my landlord $30 today, that money is back in my account “tomorrow.” Plus, it’s not like you can get an eviction through, all paperwork is blank at the end of the night, so only the things that people can remember are maintained.
Yeah but money is already fake and we already live in a post-scarcity society. The people at the top of social hierarchies aren’t just going to let the world go to temporal communism. Why would someone who lives on the street play nice if they can murder a guy with a mansion and try again the next day if they lose?
They’ll figure something out. Accountants will become teams of oral history keepers. Cops will torture and murder you for jaywalking.
But they can’t stop you from waking up there and they’re not going to spend every morning rounding the same people up. Even if they did, go ahead, throw all my shit on the sidewalk, I’ll still wake up there tomorrow. It would be interesting to see how they react to it, because there’s no meaningful way for them to control people (that I can think of, but they’re pretty creative when they need to be)

Naive to think landlords wouldn’t start charging by the day
