17:27
MAYBE
Checking your clock…
08:00–17:00 local is the honest clock for Rochester. Rochester still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−5 in January, UTC−4 in July). In Downtown Rochester, a message at 19:00 is not 'catching them at the desk' — it is borrowing their night. Optics and hospital work start early. Protect 18:00 as the end of the useful day. If the verdict would be NOT NOW, wait. Courtesy compounds. On an ordinary weekday in Rochester, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
