I think ending a sale at 12am  on a day can be confusing to some, like me.  I always think of staying up till midnight, which includes 12am as part of this day.  Technically right or wrong, having a sale end at: Offer ends at 12:00am (CST) Friday, March 3rd, means I missed it apparently.  ๐Ÿ˜”

Would love an extension on the Rhiannon sale, but otherwise I recommend in the future just using 11pm, as that leaves no room for confusion.

The AM/PM format is both confusing and illogical, 12.00 PM comes before 1.00 PM.  The International Organization for Standardization recommends the ISO 8601 format (2023-03-25 22:35:56) which is the most logical format, cannot be misinterpreted, and can be alpha sorted.  It also makes programming easier in general.
