That's the same logic used by the dumbass who pulled up in front of a grocery store that had just shut down - the signage was being removed from the overhang, the front windows were boarded up and asked if we were hiring.
I simply shook my head and told the nitwit we were closed and walked off laughing at their stupidity.

Quoth MoonCat View PostI can just imagine the scene: Customer walks into a room wherein most of the furniture has been pulled aside, leaving obvious gaps;

.... I walked into a restaurant that was changing over from one chain to another, as they were re-modeling. I mis-read the "grand opening" date. I walked in and noticed that there was still a fair bit of stuff missing. Some carpet, some furniture, and so on.
Oops! I turned around and went somewhere else for my noms.
This is the same place I go pretty much every Thursday for dinner, now. (My board gaming group meets there.)

Quoth MadMike View PostI stopped by one of my favorite lunch spots a few days ago, only to find that it was closed for remodeling. I couldn't tell until I got out of the car and walked up to the door and saw the signs.
I wonder how many people tried to walk in anyway. The doors were unlocked so the construction people could go in and out, so any idiot could have walked in.
Customer pulls a chair off the pile, sits at the one single table that wasn't placed on the stack, and 40 minutes later starts yelling about customer service and where's the cook and why can't they get lunch here?

Welcome back! I have noticed your absence.
At my last work place, a security guard would always be waiting outside the employees door to be sure that nobody "accidently" followed the employees in.
I'm pretty self absorbed so might not have noticed the signs if I saw that the doors were open. I do think that I probably would have noticed that I couldn't see because it was so dark so would have wondered if there was a problem.
However, if someone politely (or even rudely) told me that I was an idiot and to get out, I wouldn't have gone into a tirade about my rights (and since when do customers have the right to shop when the store is closed?), I would have just fled the store while apologizing at every step.

I think she must be related to a library customer we had a few years ago.
As I recall, it was on one of the days when my particular branch closes at 5 pm. This woman had arrived around 8 pm, and was very upset that we were not open. She apparently somehow had the idea that library staff had decided to close the building early, and called to complain. (not sure whom she spoke to, but would've loved to hear their response)

If you are fired for reacting "improperly" to that sort of customer, you're probably working in the wrong place anyway.
Can't say I would've reacted any differently. "There's the door."

What possesses a person...?
.. to walk into a DARKENED store conspicuously vacant of retail personnel, and assume it's open? And then get angry when told that it isn't?
Seriously, lady, you take the word 'oblivious' to a whole new level. The store is so dark that at the back of the store (where she was trying to shop), you can't even see well enough to read.
When she was told (politely) that the store wouldn't be open for another 20 minutes or so, she immediately launched into a tirade about 'her rights' as a customer (wtf?) and how inconvenient it was to have to wait.
At which point, the concept of my being 'polite' fled the scene entirely.
Wrong guy, lady. I am literally the person who could not possibly care less about your overblown sense of entitlement and your complete disregard for the obvious.
You know where the door is. See you at nine. Or not. I really don't care either way.
Yeah. I'm going to be fired soon, probably. Mainly because IDGAF.
I'm back, by the way. Good to see y'all.Last edited by CyberLurch; 08-22-2017, 05:38 PM.Tags: None
