Quoth eltf177 View PostWouldn't letting anyone in before opening possibly be some sort of insurance violation?
Now, we more frequently have customers trying to come in after we close. They come up to the door and yank on it, clearly not reading the hours posted on the door right in front of their faces. We never let them in. We can't, for the same reason as above, and eventually they go away defeated.Last edited by Ghel; 03-01-2016, 04:42 PM."I look at the stars.

In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

I always assumed the bank and post office had the same rule: If the door was locked, you could not come in. They don't open for you, for any reason. And I have had that moment when I see the teller walking to the doors to lock them. In my home town they knew me, and knew I would take like 90 seconds because the deposit books were all filled out and everything signed. But I wouldn't push it otherwise.Replace anger management with stupidity management.

Plus, even without the whole insurance thing, you just can't risk doing favours for people nowadays. If you let a customer in after closing or before opening, they won't see it as a one off favour, they'll see it as a perk and turn up even later/earlier next time. As well as telling their family and friends that you let people in outside of business hours, making yet more trouble for yourself... especially if Trading Standards gets to hear of it. That was the problem we had with a co-irker who kept letting customers in after closing. She eventually quit after she let someone in after closing, while working alongside the manager, who was not happy.

Quoth eltf177 View PostAnd a bank has an even better reason to keep people out - robbery.
I heard quite a few stories from the managers about how idiots would get there early...and get upset because they weren't allowed inside. Never mind that the entire branch was dark, the computers were all off, and that none of the tellers had even arrived yet. Why they couldn't use the 24-hour ATM around the corner, I have no idea
But, back to stores. The year before I worked at the bank, I spent the summer working at scout camp. My job, was to manage the crappy little store there. During the day, the place was always packed with kids looking for sugar highs, T shirts and other low-priced crap. When I'd get a lull in activity, I'd try to keep the inventory books current. (Trust me, if you've never done weekly inventory at a scout camp, it sucks.) Keeping those stupid books current meant that I didn't have to do as much work on weekends, and could leave early
What I found annoying, is that if I had to clean or reorganize things at night, I'd soon have people pounding on the doors to get in. Seriously, there are two vending machines outside--one for sodas, one for snacks. Yes I have the radio on, I'm trying to catch up on paperwork. Blinds on the doors are down, get lost!Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari
