No longer retail, but my first job was in a supermarket. We closed at 10 p.m. but weren’t allowed to actually stop people coming in until claoing time itself. I was at high school at the time and my mum would usually pick me up after a shift. In the last 10 minutes I would be at the front door to let people know we would be closing shortly. These old womeen came in one night and I gave them the usual, “Hey, just to let you know we’ll be closing in about 5 minutes.” Got the usual nod and asssurance that, “oh yes, we only need 1 or 2 things.” These fuckers decided to spend the next half an hour wandering the aisles shopping like any normal time of day. Managers tried to usher them out but couldn’t actually force them. Ended up my mum getting out of her car and yelling at the women in the middle of the shop about how all the staff have families to go home to, husbands, wives, kids, and others have school in the morning. One of the most badass things mum done, aalso one of the most brain dead selfish acts of customers I’ve ever witnessed
Do hospitality next!
