RL OMFG!

This is one of those 'with some randomness thrown in' posts...

So yesterday I was helping run a retail store thingy (temporary store put up while we have an extra 400 people here). And we have clearly posted that the store closes at 1700. Now, I understand that people are still shopping at 1700, so we just shut the doors to indicate we're closed and it's just the last few finishing up (typical thing that many customer-service oriented stores do...). But when a guy comes in at 1730, past the closed door with clearly labeled store hours... and he remarks "wow, finally this place is empty and I can shop!" it just galls me. Especially when he then proceeds to look at every item in the store.

So that isn't enough? No? Well when he goes to check out, and sees the price - what does he do? Says "hmm, maybe I should go to my truck and get my credit card..." At least he a moment later said "do you guys take checks?". Now at this point, we're thinking "anything just to get rid of you so we can go home!!!". So we did finally get him out of the store at like 1750.

But seriously, who does that?!?! It's obvious he's the only reason we're there, and being polite to let him stay. But you also know that if we booted him out, he would have gone around telling everyone how horrible we are and that they should stay away from us. Ugh. Lose-lose situation. At least it's Friday, right?
