Its worse for restaurants because when i was a dish washer we couldnt start closing until the fucking pos customers left. Sometimes theyd be there till 2 hours after. Assholes
I do want to clarify that food service probably has it worst, and those people are in fact assholes. I wasn't defending that kind of person, because STAYING past closing shouldn't even be allowed. My beef was with the people pissed when customers come and go while the store is still advertised as open.
Customers coming in 5 minutes prior to closing are assholes.
How long before closing would you suggest customers stop coming in, and why isn't that just a new "closing"?
it depends fully on the context and situation. Customer needs something quick, knows what they need, comes in, gets it and is out by closing? No issue at all. There are a lot of customers who come in 5 mins before closing to browse and don't leave when the store closes because they expect to just stay open for them. Corporate will tell managers to let the customer shop in the name of "customer service"...Those people are still assholes.
So just to clarify... even if a customer comes in two minutes before closing, as long as they're out the door before closing you do NOT consider them assholes? ---
