futuredivot 0 #2 November 13, 2009 I've just driven over 700 miles and just want a quick bite before I find my hotel. If you don't want to feed me, kill the light outside and lock the door so I don't think you're open. Otherwise, you can fuck yourself.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danornan 79 #3 November 13, 2009 so how late can you walk into a restaurant and eat? Maybe 15 minutes? 20 minutes? 25 minutes? Maybe the restaurant should post a MORE informative closing sign!Dano Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calvin19 0 #5 November 13, 2009 Quote...5 minutes before close. You and your ilk of that mentality can go fuck yourselves. That is all. word. anyone who has worked in a restaurant knows the feeling. Most restaurants start to close parts of cooking supplies down well before it closes, because the norm of the night is limited customers. when a surprise rush comes in, it all needs to be taken back out. It sucks at 4 in the morning still mopping up after drunk pieces of shit left the place trashed. when 6pm-4am are the only shifts you can work for school when you have to get up and go to class in the morning, people that walk in 5 min before close and stay an hour ARE pieces of shit.

Andy9o8 2 #6 November 13, 2009 Your hostility is mis-directed at the customer, when it should be directed at the management for not having a system (or policy) in place to reasonably deal with customers who come in near closing time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. but the hostility needs to go somewhere. the customers are rarely treated badly, but silently hated. If no one is harmed, and all this is is a BS complaint thread then that is fine, ya? it would be hard to put in an economical system to deal with that.

Andy9o8 2 #10 November 13, 2009 Quoteit would be hard to put in an economical system to deal with that. Really? I've been to restaurants/diners, etc. where they do just that. As soon as the customer walks in: "Grill's closed, gents. We only have cold sandwiches, and you have to leave in 15 minutes." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The people who really got me were the ones that got there at 9 (we closed at 11) and sat there till after midnight. It seemed like the ones that got there at 10:45 were out of there pretty fast. Big groups of middle aged women were the worst. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #15 November 13, 2009 I work at an animal hospital. We don't do appointments, it's first come first serve (unless it's an obvious emergency). We are open from 7am-6pm Mon-Fri and 7am-2pm on Saturday. We deal with almost all of the local animal rescue groups. The lady who runs to poodle rescue group brings in at least 1 or 2 new dogs every week to be checked out (and they're typically not in all that great of shape so the exam takes a little longer than usual). The thing is, she comes in at 5:55pm EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!! If it was someone who didn't come that often it would be one thing. But she does this at least once or twice every single week. Just hearing her name puts everyone in a bad mood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big groups of middle aged women were the worst. I think they call people who do that "campers." I have been out to dinner with them sometimes, and I'm usually the one itching to get the hell out while the rest of them are just sitting there running their yaps. It's been like that since I was a little kid: I could not understand why, after we were done eating, some of the grownups wanted to just sit on their asses like a bunch of walruses & talk talk talk.
