    I worked retail at a store that had a rule that we DO NOT rush customers out if they come in before we lock the doors. We were NOT allowed to mention we were closed and we were NOT allowed to roll out merchandise to the aisles.

    Corportate was confused on how our store had so much overtime when customers would regularly walk in a minute before close, stay an hour and buy nothing.

      Worked at a staples store in the early 2000s and we’d make an announcement that the store was closing 30 minutes before, 15 minutes before and then another when we closed.

      Nobody was rushed out by employees but we still let them know.

        As a customer, I only wished you’d have a screen or something other than the menu.

        Or maybe hours posted at the box.

        The McDonald’s by me likes to change hours- I’m. It there frequently enough to know how often but they still have the “open 24” signage as you pull in; so it’s more or less impossible to know if they’re just busy or actually closed.

        If you’re no longer on the clock then why are they telling you what you can and can’t do? Just tell the customers your shift is over.
