Because it's starting to seem like they are, and you can just close 10-15 minutes early if you want.

No they goddamn shouldn't. At my workplace, we don't get to lock the doors until the closing time on our sign says: 10:00 PM. At every other place I go to, the sign says they close at 11:00 PM, but they'll close at 10:50 PM, or 10:30 PM. It's goddamn bullshit.

If nobody's there at 10-till, go ahead and start cleaning up for the night.
What kind of asshole rushes ten minutes before closing anyway, especially so for a restaurant?

There's a McDonald's in a Walmart I occasionally go to when I'm nearby. They got a whole remodel and change of staff. All the people I know are gone, and in their place is whole new management. They start putting the chairs up on the tables at 8:00 PM. They'll close the gate around 10:30 PM and start mopping around the customers' feet. There's definitely still people around when they start doing this shit.

Who said anything about a restaurant? I wanted to get some hot dogs at Fry's, but they decided to close 10 minutes early. My apologies I couldn't get there earlier. My management actually makes us close when the fucking time says we close, and actually makes us work. Unlike those slackasses that just close up whenever.

that decision should be up to the owner, no?

I never leave early, and am (usually) happy to stay a few minutes late, because I like the money more than my time.

the owner regularly leaves early if it's dead (though usually no more than 15 minutes), because he has kids and a wife who has a busy work schedule. but if there are people, he won't kick them out until close, or even a few minutes past if he's not getting the leash pulled.

but that's a small business. chains will rarely let the staff close early or be willing to pay employees to stay late.

...What? Fry's is a grocery store. What the hell are you talking about? You go there and you can buy bread, eggs, milk, chicken, frozen food, wine, beer, pop, meat, cheese, kitchen supplies, pet food, shampoo, soap, etc. Where is this stuff about a restaurant coming from?

Not from what I've seen. The Fry's and McDonald's I've seen near here just close when-the-fuck-ever. No respect for potential customers, or even the ones that are already there.

Lol I didn't even know about the grocery stores. They even have the same damn logo.

Shit I didn't know there is only 34 Fry's. I feel bad for people who have never been to the tech motherland.

Same family. The kids of the guy who owned the supermarkets ended up opening an electronics version.

Modern retail/ff business.
It's not worth staying open 10 minutes for a $10 sale, paying 3+ employees. Employees are expected to be ready to be out the door as soon as possible. They aren't scheduled to stay open late, so they push as hard as hell not to be.
You get paid by the hour, with no bonuses, you're going to act like it.
