This person does not complain about not being served ten minutes after the establishment having closed, but about the fact that not one of the four employees could be arsed to let the guest know that they’re closed.
Honestly, and I’m not saying that this is a universal, most stores do have a sign with their hours of operation on or near the door.
And if you go to a store and can’t open the door, the fact that the store is closed really should be the default assumption.
I’ve tried the door on closed restaurants before and had someone open it and explain that the place is closed, but I’ve also had people just expect one to read the sign. I don’t think that just because there’s someone in the establishment, that they should be obliged to spell the thing out and give you the hours. It’s nice if it happens, but…
Also “guest”? this isn’t a work huddle. Don’t you ever use that corporate trash-assed word after you clocked out. You arent c-suite, don’t use their language
so happy you said this. the use of the word “guest” instead of “customer” really gets under my skin
I recently had a cashier call another one over for a purchase issue of mine and referred to me as a “guest”. It felt weird. I was not a guest. I was trying to exchange money for goods and services and leave.
I don’t know what corporate big brain came up with the guest terminology, but it feels weird from every angle.
Never unlock the door after close, she probably fits in the typical category of inconsiderate assholes who “just want an X,” but this is also a common robbery technique. They’ll have someone nonthreatening knock on the door to try and get you to open it to say “fuck off we’re closed” and the second you do 4 dudes with guns (or knives, machetes, whatever) run around the corner and rush the door.
Just hit em with the “we’re closed” lipsync and the “we’re closed” international symbol: hand chop moving away from the body in front of the dominant hand side of your neck 2x.

The locked door told them the store is closed.

Same with “associate” or “partner” instead of employee. Garbage nonsense. It’s insulting.

Same with “Client” instead of “User”
dont even get me started on “content” instead of “videos/tweets/games/whatever”. not to mention the term “content creator”
I can get this one more so. My business has a client side and a contractor side. People say “user” and it’s too ambiguous.

What is there to talk about? The employees can’t tell them anything that they don’t already know if they can read the posted hours.
“guest”
You aren’t a guest if you aren’t invited, and if the door is locked, you ain’t invited.
Guests are during operating hours. Pests are for off-hours visitors.
Yeah like, they could put the opening hours on the door or something. Or lock the doors to indicate that it’s closed! Or shake their heads! Oh wait!
Sure, they didn’t unlock the door to tell the person the door is locked, because the store is closed. What a fucking brainfart you having mate?

So not 🙅♂️ ? 'Cos what you describe seems like “we’ll chop your head off if you don’t leave”.
Lol yeah, it’s kinda that, but like “happy.”
