I wish businesses actually honored their closing timesβ¦ At least twice in the past year Iβve gone to a place ten minutes before closing and theyβre closed.
If theyβre food places, thatβs either because the food takes longer than ten minutes, or because itβd been slow and theyβd started packing up, or they were lying because they wanted to go home on time. Almost nothing more annoying than someone coming right at the end of your shift to order food.
Stores should pay employees 30 minutes after closing time, or whatever is a realistic time it may take to serve the last client and close everything.
We do that. But at some point, it has to stop. We canβt just say βone last clientβ when new ones come in right after the previous leaves, and you donβt want to be unfair. And cleaning takes HOURS. Even in a small fast food restaurant. You need to strategically close things down, preferably things weβre out of anyway.
One was a used video game shop, the other a bike shop. I try not to get food near closing unless itβs fast food.
itβs because people arrive 1 minute before closing time asking for a task that takes 15 minutes and the employees are rightfully fed with that, because the owner wonβt pay the extra time
I just wanted to buy Breath of Fire for my DS after getting off work on Fridayβ¦
The 10 minutes before close guy is 100% why they close 15 minutes early. Itβs either that or the 10 minutes before close guy holds up the whole staff β ainβt no straw boss trying to stay late.
