My state has Blue Laws; one of the provisions is that stores are to close at 9PM on Sundays (that may also be a town thing). I don't have an issue with that. The overnight crew gets twitchy if they can't start on time.
I heard a rumor last night that Corporate wants to have us stay open until 10 on Sundays (manager AN was not happy). I suspect that the reasoning is because there are 'customers waiting outside past closing'. All this would do is shift the confused crowds to 9:58 as opposed to 8:58 (and the vicious circle begins); I know there are always people who just wait until the last minute to feel powerful over the worker bees.
Yes, it's more money for the store (and at time-and-a-half more money for me) if it happens, but...another example of 'customer service' gone bad. Lack of planning (accidental or otherwise) by idiots is NOT our problem.
