    This happens anyway. I literally have meetings every week where it’s Tuesday night for everyone else on the meeting, and Wednesday morning for me.

      That’s different, your day remains Wednesday their day remains Tuesday, they’re talking about going to lunch on Tuesday and coming back on Wednesday, do you call that your Tuesday lunch? Tuesday Dinner? Wednesday breakfast? Wednesday lunch?

        Legal things would be a mess.

        Your visa is valid until the end of the month. Halfway through the day?

        This also already happens, albeit for fewer people. I used to have a job that started at 7pm. My lunchtime was literally from 23:30 to 00:30 the following day.

        I admit I did not like that job very much, but it wasn’t anything to do with each work day spanning two dates.

          That’s not lunch though, it’s dinner. It’s not about a work day going across the date, it’s about the changing of the date happening midway through the day. You wouldn’t go to the bank do some stuff during your “lunch” break only to discover you missed the deadline because it went over midnight, or every place you visit has different moments when bills expire, etc, etc. You working a night shift is a completely different scenario, by the time the date crosses over most places that are date sensitive are already closed for the day.
