I dont believe any sucking occurred

Edit: What the hell, it commented twice

as much as it was time consuming and "sucks," shit happens. maybe that was the only time she could get to the store. and as for her card, theres not much worse than a card being declined; its so embarrasing on top of of everything else. but at least the boss knows you dont just kick out customers because its time to go home.

This has happened to me countless times where I work but honestly I think it sucks just as much, if not more, for the customer.

The excitement of first comment went into #1's head.

Hard work for nothing. Must be real annoying

It was her last day on the job, too. She was realllly pissed off, but after she said she was really thankful for my hard work.

Wow that was a really fast follow up. Hey at least your manager will leave with a good memory of you even if her last customer service experiences at your store weren't the best

I worked in customer service and had to put up with it. it's your bosses business and their money. so if you owned that business you wouldn't mind the extra money, if the customer actually paid. the fact they didn't sucks yes, but it's nothing to complain about working a little extra and being paid to do so. don't care if you worked 8 hour day, an extra 30 minutes or hour is nothing. The fact that everyone sympathizes with her shows the work ethic they have...poor

I don't thing they'd get paid anymore after closing time...

It's not poor work ethic to be pissed off. I'm sure you are as well somedays. I would be a little pissed if I was just working an 8 hour long shift and just wanted to get home to eat dinner with my family and had this customer come in.

STFU

I wouldn't be sad I'd just be pissed.

No. While it's open, people can go, otherwise it may as well not be open for the last 5 minutes. Often people go then because they are delayed and in a rush, or that is the only time they can go.

That's not the point #12. If you can be in and out in 5 minutes, fine. But most people, like I envision this lady, come in 5 til closing and dick around while you're trying to close the store. Then, of course, other lollygaggers come in because they see the other person still shopping. It's a vicious cycle.

Watch the movie "Waiting" and you'll never go into a restaurant a few minutes before it closes. The things I've witnessed even where I work! Wow! I once found out afterwards, that one of our cooks actually made someone's steak on the grill he was in the middle of cleaning and degreasing. Right on top of the chemicals!

Exactly where I work as soon as it hits closing time I lock the doors. I will then tell any remaining customers that we have just closed and politely hint they need to hurry up. But like 15 said most people at that time are in a rush anyway or just didn't realise the time and are happy to hurry.

I feel terrible if I have to run into a store minutes before closing. Usually it's for something I really need and I'll run in and get out ASAP. I can't stand people who lollygag minutes before closing time. But maybe that's because I worked retail and in one place I worked people did that EVERY night.

I work at my school's library, always on the closing shift. We have 30, 20, and 10-minute warnings before closing, but there are always people playing on the computers who think that a few extra minutes are going to make a difference in their game. Meanwhile, we have to stand there and watch them take their time packing up before we can clear the building and go home. Pisses me off.

I work at a coffee store and sometimes people come in 5 minutes before close and order a million drinks that aren't coffee, that I have to specially make and blend, etc. It slows me down so much, especially on week nights when I need to go home because I have school the next morning. This is why I lock the doors 10-15 minutes early so I can finish closing without worrying about some rude customers barging in before close. Word of advice: don't be that customer!

Oh my fucking god.

My heart jumped in sadness when you said it declined twice. You poor poor soul.

That was an epic FML

Fml to everyone, including the person trying to buy the stuff, because thats always embarrassing

I hope she had no more family members

if that makes you not want the job you should probably stay away from any job that deals with people I feel like you couldn't handle it

If you don't believe in god, you go to hell. If you don't believe in gosh, you go to heck. So where do you go if you don't believe in lawd? I know, completely unrelated to anything, just a random thought that popped into my head.

If you don't believe in the lawd you go to hail. Aww, hail!!

honestly, the fml made me wonder if she had stolen the credit card since she hurried in last minute to make such a large purchase...

Now that's an interesting plot twist #99, never thought of that!

Well, you tried.

And failed horribly.
