Every time I hear that from an SC, I want to retaliate with my dad's standard reply; "Well, life's not fair and the sooner you learn that, the better!" XD
Last night I heard it from a customer, right after I was closing up the petrol station. It was exactly 10pm on the dot by the store clock, and I'd just put the bollards out to block off the forecourt when this car came screeching in by the back way. I hadn't locked up the pumps so I hurried over to tell the customer that we were closed, as he surely should have realised due to the fact that before he'd gone in the back way, he'd driven down to the front and seen the cones.
Me: Sorry, but we're closed.
SC: What? Why are you closing early?!
Me: It's not early, it's 10pm. That's when we close.
SC: Look you stupid cow, it's ten to. My watch says ten to.
Me: It's 10pm by the clock in the shop, and that's the one we're going by.
SC: Oh for Christ's sake. Can't you just let me get some petrol? Would that be too much to ask?
Me: We're closed, sorry.
SC: It's not fair! I drove all this way and you're closed?!
Me: I'm sorry, but we're closed.
SC: *flips me off, and drives out with a screech of tires*
You will notice the repetition; that's what I do. I'm polite and I repeat myself. Also, this guy comes along every flipping week on a Wednesday night at around closing time. He knows damn well what time we close, yet he doesn't care about getting here late and getting a full tank. That's why it's always satisfying to close the petrol station before he gets here. XD And yeah, he's always a rude arsehole.
