We had that on Memorial Day; we were closing at 5 (so we thought!), and it was maybe 4:45, and a customer said, after asking and being told we closed in 15 minutes, what time did we NORMALLY close (in a rather snotty tone). She then looked and said, oh, well, I guess YOU (meaning the store employees) should be able to enjoy some of the holiday. Gee, I'm so happy you think WE are also entitled to some time off! I hate when people bitch and moan about being closed on holidays, or closing early for them...um, think about it genius; who do you think staffs the store? That's right, people just like you! And just like you, we want to have some time with our families!!!
It was funny though; we were actually supposed to be open until 6 Memorial Day, but the schedule had everyone working only until 6, when we are normally scheduled an hour past closing...hahahahaha - so we closed at 5! oops.
And for Labor Day, there was a rumor that we were going to be open until 9; our normal closing, even though all the other stores in the center were closing at 6! I fortunately asked for that day off, and it turns out we are closing at 6, just like everyone else.
