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

No one would tell them they had to leave?

Lol. Corporate would kill the managers

I've noticed that until it gets to a unreasonable time most places won't ask them to leave...they merely suggest it because they fear that person going on Yelp and claiming they were kicked out unfairly. I'd consider 2 hours unreasonable but if they're still ordering drinks or dishes i expect a lot of managers just let it go..

That BS. If the place is closed and they refuse to leave, call the police. Too bad if they don't like it, they're tresspassing at that point.

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?

No but it also depends on how they treat the store in that time. if you come in THAT close to closing and unfold stacks or mess things up while grabbing what you need you're an asshole. Its a shitty thing to do earlier in the day but at least the employees have more time to clean up.

Customers should have the brain capacity AND common sense to know that 5 minutes prior to closing is waiting too late to come in. Go elsewhere if you need something. No where else open later? Too bad, should've planned ahead better.

I expect you to argue this too seeing as you're as dense as a rock.

Read this aloud, because this is what you just said: A store is functionally closed 5 minutes PRIOR to closing.

If they can get in, and get out, without messing up the store, in those 5 minutes, then there's no problem. Vipa is being 100% fair and on point that the context and outcome of the interaction matters.

EDIT: Again, why don't you tell me exactly how long before a store is closed all customers should stop going to the store. Give me a number.

they really can't....because the customer controls their success. if they kick people out and those people bitch and moan about it the business will likely take a hit. it all comes back to the actions of the customer just as much as the actions of the corporation.

Man emergencies do happen. I don't think anyone who comes in 5-10 minutes before closing is inherently an asshole. However, if they linger past closing or mess with anything that needs to be fixed, that's when it enters asshole category. Needing one quick thing and getting out doesn't automatically make you an asshole. But I work in a pharmacy so maybe my perspective is a bit different

Common sense says if I can get in an out of a store without messing it up before closing, that I can walk in to a store still listed as OPEN and it's not a problem. I think even Vipa and Dez are with me on this one, man.

On Christmas Eve i had to stop by a grocery store late. they closed early that night and i got there about 10 mins before they were set to close. as i walked in an employee standing at the entrance was telling everyone they closed in 10 mins. i legitimately felt bad but i ran in, grabbed the item i needed and paid before they closed the doors or stopped letting people in....

shit happens sometimes and late runs are necessary. its all about what the customers expectations are. i saw others walk in at the same time as me with carts taking their sweet time shopping around...those people are jerks. get what you need and get out. they want to close. they want to go home. don't expect them to stay open just because you TECHNICALLY got in before they officially closed.

I think we need to take a look at what hours of operation are, since some of the comments in here are downright ridiculous.

Hours of operation are quite literally the ownership/management of the store saying that people are welcome to come in during that time period. Even if a customer finishes their purchase and leaves at 9:59:59, as long as the store is still open the customer is well within their rights because management is saying they're still willing to take customers. Sure, some employees don't get paid for work after 10 and still need to clean, etc., but that's on management, not the customer. Employees should file complaints with their Department of Labor in that case since it's illegal.

On the other hand, customers staying after closing hours can fuck right off. Coming in at 9:55? Better know what the fuck you're getting and do it fast because you're not staying past 10.

It depends on what the business is imo. If it's a restaurant, then definitely get there at least a half hour before closing or about 15 minutes if it's fast food . A store or gas station is fair game as long as you're in and out before closing time.

Exactly this, though some restaurants will simply stop letting people in a certain amount of time before close but still pay the employees to work while customers finish their meals.

The problem isn't people coming in before closing. The problem is people who want to lolligag around the store AFTER closing.

That's why people cant stand late night customers. Nobody has a problem with people who are in and out. It's the people who want to drag the whole family out to go grocery shopping at 12 am when the stores closing.

The reality is that customers will always expect to be able to walk into a store and shop as long as it's still before their stated closing time. As a business, you must cater to that perception. Anytime a customer shows up at a business before closing time and is turned away, it's a massive negative experience that often times leads to that customer never shopping their during ANY hours ever again.

Entitled retail workers give no shits about customer retention, all they care about is getting the fuck out. As you can see demonstrated in this thread, they get triggered quite easily at just the thought of staying over and throw out every excuse in the book to justify such behavior. "My company won't pay me, my company will fire me, people shouldn't be shopping while the store is open."

It's all good though, in the future machines won't judge people for doing some last minute shopping.

From my experiences with retail workers they seem to be so angry, like it seems like they basically want to do the minimum at all times.

While I never worked at retail before, I did work for a company that helps with the inventory of multiple retail stores so I have some experience dealing with retail workers and alot of the times they just angry people.

Like asking them simple inventory questions like "Can I get the SKU number for this item?" or "Do you know how much this item cost? I can't find the price tag anywhere on the item." tends to piss them off and them them groan and moan. Like dealing with that shit all the time seems so toxic. It doesn't shock me that when it comes to this subject that they get all pissy. _

The funny thing is that from my experience, they basically spend like 65% of the time during their working hours just socializing with their co-workers, while spending 35% of the time actually working. Like if something happens that brings that percentages closer to 50/50 then they lose their shit.

I DID give an answer (post #326). If you don't like it, that's your problem, not mine. I'm done dealing with you a******s.

So is 20 minutes before closing okay? Is 30 minutes okay? Is an hour okay?

Like what do you think about the idea someone posted, where they make the store close 30 minutes earlier so that you can use those 30 minutes to do what you need to do to properly close a store?

Okay, so stores should be considered closed 10 minutes before closing (aka "the last minute"). 11 minutes is fair game, because EVENTUALLY you have to expect people to actually come in and do their business.

And we're sorry, but that's up to you to sort out.

I currently work at a place that allows customers to come in and place orders up until the last second of our stated closing hours. So long as I am doing that with a positive attitude, I will always expect everyone in similar situations to the same.

Personally, I don't see how anyone can feel good about themselves telling customers to leave like that. I wouldn't be able to sleep well with myself. I'd kick myself for it.


Fuck that restaurant.

From my experiences with retail workers they seem to be so angry, like it seems like they basically want to do the minimum at all times.

While I never worked at retail before, I did work for a company that helps with the inventory of multiple retail stores so I have some experience dealing with retail workers and alot of the times they just angry people.

Like asking them simple inventory questions like "Can I get the SKU number for this item?" or "Do you know how much this item cost? I can't find the price tag anywhere on the item." tends to piss them off and them them groan and moan. Like dealing with that shit all the time seems so toxic. It doesn't shock me that when it comes to this subject that they get all pissy. _

The funny thing is that from my experience, they basically spend like 65% of the time during their working hours just socializing with their co-workers, while spending 35% of the time actually working. Like if something happens that brings that percentages closer to 50/50 then they lose their shit.


Lol some of the hardest work I've ever had to do was in retail, and I was in the military and worked in the oil field.

It's a lot of product information, too much for what you're getting paid. People expect you to know where and what every single product in the store is. As well as price, sale price, sku, competitors price, which brand is better, etc.

Not only that, but everyone basically treats each other like shit. Customers are usually dicks to employees/managers. Supervisors/Managers usually treat workers like dogs.

Plus there can be a ton of manual labor with very little breaks. I just worked for a company who gave no breaks, and only 30 minute lunches (and only if you worked 8 hours, which they routinely scheduled people 7 1/2 hours)

Retail is awful, so yeah fuck people who extended my time in that hellhole

That's like 80% of restaurants. And the 20% that regularly turn customers away near closing wind up failing because it is a symptom of likely several different critical issues (lack of management holding employees accountable, management oversight of long-term goals, etc)


Good

This is what I don't understand....if the policy is to get employees out on the dot at a certain time, why not just move the closing time back 30 minutes? Why try to have it both ways which pisses off both customers and employees?


Because pitting them against each other takes heat off of them for bad practices. Businesses do that all the time to distract from their own responsibility over the issue.

You chose to work there, your company made shitty policies. So I would hope that statement refers to such.
