"f him, just tell him we're closed" is exactly what happened and is exactly what I complained about. You never close a store until the scheduled time. You obvisouly haven't worked retail ever, have you?
Most all stores around here close early. Not cause they are lazy, cause they have to.
Most retail stores are very strict on the hours you can work. When they say closed at 9 they mean the people are clocking OUT at 9. Meaning they have prep work to do to get things ready for close. I know there's lots of stores that don't allow over time. If your still working at 9pm, and 9pm is your 8 hours, that's it. You don't get an extra 15 mins OT to clean up and lock up. Your clocking out at 9pm.
Yea, they might have skipped out early. Maybe just this once. Maybe they had something they really needed to get to. We don't know.
For the most part, I wouldn't blame them. But coroporate america for being such penny pinchers. Hopefully they will learn to cut it a little closer when they close next time and not leave so early.
