[QUOTE="Zimri, post: 3486019, member: 15991"] See now I *KNOW* my run ins to my FLGS ,where I really only like the management the regular clerks make me feel icky, will ALWAYS take more than 20 minutes. They regularly close at 10pm so I rarely venture in past 7pm and NEVER after 9pm. I have worked retail and I know that 1) Stores take time "close" I've seen it go from 15 minutes to over an hour. 2) I know people will loiter past and even try to enter past closing time (try working at a video store that puts new releases out on Tuesday at closing time on Monday or for that matter first thing Tuesday morning when you come in an hour early to make sure prep was done properly). The rest is just "feeling" 1) I as a person feel badly when I do something to make someone else's life/job more difficult so I try to avoid doing it I of course can't and don't expect anyone else to do the same but wouldn't the planet be a better place if they did. 2) I don't know what factory you all are digging up your minimum wage slave robots from, or what make of cot you have out back for them, but odds are just like you and me they have lives, friends, SOs, children, commitments to get to. That said as a consumer I do vote with my wallet. There was one take out restaurant locaation (KFC) I refused to go back to when they refused to serve me 30 minutes before closing time. There have also been many times I have tipped upwards of 50% at a medium priced sit down restaurant when my wife and I and a couple we treat had EXCEPTIONAL service (we also always speak with a manager on these occasions). Employees are done when the schedule says they are. Any place I have worked has scheduled no more than 30 minutes after close. [/QUOTE]
