A bit of background: On thursdays, it is late night opening where I live. Shops are allowed to open longer than the hours they normally do, up to nine or ten in the evening, iif they want to open that long. Where I work currently is not one. We close at 5:30, like we do every day, and 4:30 on sundays.
I open at 9, according to our till clocks, and close at 5:30 according to our till clocks. If your watch says different, tough luck.
As always, my thoughs in italics (minor swearing from here)

Me: Most beautiful goth girl in the world.
it is 5:32, according to our till clocks. I have closed the tills. The till trays are sat on the counter waiting for me to take them downstairs. The door is locked. Our opening hours are posted on the doors. I am sorting out the full closing procedure, and am nearly finished.
*CRASHclunk*
wtf?
IM: (Looking through door.) Are your doors locked?
Me: No, they're just jammed. Sorry, we're closed.
IM:... Your doors are locked! *shakes for emphasis*
Me: NO SHIT SHERLOCK! Yeah, WE'RE CLOSED!
Did you not understand my very clear 'We're closed' to start with? Did you think I didn't KNOW the doors were locked and they had been locked by magical door-locking pixies? Even if I'm not the one who locked the door, presumably I work there, as I'm stood doing things with our tills, so I know that they're locked, and I know WE'RE CLOSED.
We don't manufacture that
A very cyclical discussion, here. SHe wasn't sucky in and of herself, just a little confused and hoping I could help, which I really couldn't.
OL: Old Lady
Me: Brilliant in every way.
OL: Do you sell essential oils?
Me: Yes, we do. They're right here.
OL: I was given a foot spa for my birthday, do you know which would be suitable?
Me: Well, certain fragrances are especially good for the feet. Tea-tree is soothing for blisters and such... *essential oil spiel*
OL: Yes, but will they be OK for my foot-spa?
Me: Oh, you need to know if they'll damage it?
OL: Yes.
Me: I'm afraid I don't know- we don't manufacture foot-spa's, so I know nothing about them at all.
OL: My last one came with some essential oils but this one didn't. DO you think these oils will be alright?
ME: I really don't know. I wouldn't like to say in case the oilyness damages it.
You're better off asking the manufacturer if it needs special oils or products for it.
OL: It's a scholl one.
Me: I don't know anything about any footspas at all. Sorry.
It went round and round like this for about 20 minutes. I felt a bit sorry for her. I figured it would probably be alright, but didn't want to say that in case it was one of the ones that needs alcohol-extracted plant oils so that they dissipate and don't gum up the machanisms or something. I know nothing, aned cannot help you. Please call someone who can.
