Closing before closing time!!!

Post by Voldemort »

The wife and I were out and about Thursday night and decided to run across town to a DQ to get ice cream. We arrived at 9:48, which is 12 minutes before closing time. We sat at the speaker waiting to order for a minute or two, and then started asking if anyone was there. After a few minutes, we drove up to the window. Workers inside saw us and hid. The wife knocked on the window, asking if something was wrong inside. This was at around 9:55. My wife continued to knock on the window, and we started hearing the workers who were hiding say, "Tell them we are closed." Finally, a young man came to the window and said that they were closed, followed by they couldn't wait on us since we got there a minute before closing time. A minute? That (upset) me off and I told the young man that I would call management the next day.

That young man had to be laughing at me. I have called five times now, and no one will answer the phone. When I get a chance, I intend to stop by now. It didn't start to be such a big deal, but now, ...

Minimum wage behavior. When you're the assistant manager and closing at 10:00 for $7.75 an hour, why would you care? Get fired and you go across the street and flip burgers tomorrow night for the same pay.

Agreed ,
Corporate America and ridiculous tax laws have ruined this country with nonsense and Terrible Pay for workers.
Don't blame workers in such terrible conditions one bit.
Pay a reasonable wage, eliminate corporate nonsense, stop taxing anyone making less than $75,000 and Tax the rich heavily! The divide financially must be rectified for society to advance.

What kind of loser do you have to be when you get your jollies by being a forum troll? Take another hit so you can make it through another day of your miserable life.

If a business says they’re open to a certain time, then yeah, they should stay open until then. Hiding in the back is pathetic.

This isn’t a commentary on capitalism. These kids took the job. Go find something better if you don’t like working in fast food. My first job was at McDonald’s. Arvid Smeal was my manager back then and is still working there today, making 15 an hour now. Let me tell you, that dude can sweep a floor like nobody’s business. “You gotta get your body behind it.” That’s what he would tell me.

But also, I knew I wouldn’t want to end up like him, so I made sure to pursue a better path.
