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.
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.
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.

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.
They do!
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.
Well, good lad!

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.
