no-no thats my point, if you close earlier than when you want to leave who cares? Especially if you still leave at 10. People always try to pack up and shit to get out as early as possible -- I got paid by the hour so I never understood. I mean each customer = more money. Thats why I'm working. To make money. Its not like I knew we were going to get out early so whatever plans I made are still made around my 10pm closing.
But I'm arguing that peoples mindsets can change when I really know they can't. I'm just saying "ideally" and unfortunately I am that asshole that comes in 2 minutes before close

ie you need your car fixed or food service or something built
a grocery store is slightly different. you run in at 5 to close to grab something you get it and get out. you aren't planning on being in there past close
you walk in to a restaurant at 5 to close you KNOW you will be in there once they close

now see that's different
i have had people walk in at 5 to close and walk right to me in the kitchen and gone look we know you close in five minutes we are really hungry and want to eat here, i have $20 for you if you can stay open late and fire the open pit back up for ribs.
cases like that of course i'll stay open for them, hell i've even done it for something as simple as then sending a beer back to the kitchen for me (yes i could drink on the job)
lol ... burging flipping
never worked fast food in my life
i'm talking a place where the minimum meal time is 45-50 minutes
comparing fast food to a place like that isnt even possible

Then you should've told your idiot boss that the best way to prevent this kind of BS is to close the kitchen 1 hour before closing time. it's really not that hard to think a solution for this problem. Most reataurant will have a kitchen closing time. Actually here they have a reduce menu time, then a kitchen closing time...

spend 7 years working a restaraunt and come try this again
there's nothing you hate more than being about ready to close and having 4 people walk in and sit down and start ordering drinks and meals and making you stay an hour later than you were supposed to.
it happens way to much, it's simply common sense.

chinese food takes ten minutes most to make. i worked at a resteraunt for a while delivering and was in the kitchen all the time. those bastards should just make the shit and be done.
