it's the same with a restaraunt. you are open to 10 but that doesnt mean at 9:50 you are gonna accept a 10-top.
it's a common sense type thing, open for business till 10 doesnt mean you take orders till ten. lots of places are open till a set time but stop taking appointments 30-50 minutes prior to closing. in a restaraunt that varies day to day based on who's still currently dining
No but your example used a service that has a variable time limit. If you close at 10 and its a 1 hour job and someone shows up at 9 do it. Different with restaurants, times posted should reflect time of service --- you can't estimate the time what if its a fast food restaurant or like a prime rib place? You can only go off of whats posted on the door. With cars the person tells you what can be done when you show up. How difficult is it for a restaurant to calculate the time they want to close and the time they will accept the last customer?
i.e. taco bell closes at 11, I can make orders until 11. Why do non-fast food restaurants get to have different time schedules? How do you define when a restaurant can do that? Post what you can serve until, and then there will be no second guessing.
