When you use the data collected on you by your smart phone to create realistic expectations.

I wish businesses actually honored their closing times… At least twice in the past year I’ve gone to a place ten minutes before closing and they’re closed.

If they’re food places, that’s either because the food takes longer than ten minutes, or because it’d been slow and they’d 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.

One was a used video game shop, the other a bike shop. I try not to get food near closing unless it’s fast food.

it’s 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 won’t pay the extra time

I just wanted to buy Breath of Fire for my DS after getting off work on Friday…

For the reverse, I used to live near a pizza shop that would frequently stay open several hours past their official closing time and it sure was a treat to walk by half drunk at 2 am to get a slice.

The 10 minutes before close guy is 100% why they close 15 minutes early. It’s either that or the 10 minutes before close guy holds up the whole staff – ain’t no straw boss trying to stay late.

But if you close at 5pm and I get off at 4:30pm and race there only to be shut out… It’s kind of a bummer.

If it’s a restaurant, accept that it’s run by humans.

There’s so many Karen videos raging at some minimum wage teenager who is closing up the kitchen earlier because it’s been dead for an hour and the workers needs sleep.

If I had to guess, I would say that it’s weird and therefore memorable, thus making their entire store memorable, which could, hypothetically, drive interest in whatever it is.

Probably to make sure the customers know that they mean it. There are often a lot of people coming in one minute before closing time that don’t leave in time.
