Lingering Customer Can’t Use Facilities After Close, Throws Tantrum When The Employee Refused

When personnel at a coffee shop or cafe begin to close up shop, customers are expected to leave as well. So picture Redditor u/snailtearstains’ rage when a regular client (who didn’t even buy anything) went to the bathroom shortly before they closed, forcing them and their coworkers to wait even longer to clean the shop’s bathrooms. This user told this story on r/pettyrevenge about how they pushed their entire schedule up to get ahead of this customer who complained about needing to use the restroom and eventually splashed water on the ground while yelling with the employees.

Expecting to be able to stay as long as you like when everyone else should be off? What a wonderful way to live one’s life. Too many customers don’t seem to understand that when a store is closed, it is closed.

1. A lady used to come every night at OP’s restaurant before closing, would demand extra hot water cups and then head towards the bathroom which he found very annoying

Font - Posted by u/snailtearstains 11 hours ago 2 2 35 E3 Lady waits to use the bathroom every night at closing call. Never again. When I was working as a barista, there were two nights a week the closers would have to sweep and mop the entire coffeehouse, supposedly in 15 minutes. This is was impossible to do so I would do what I could throughout the evening and do the rest once everyone was gone, often going over on time. There was a lady who started coming in a few hours before close, and she

2. Even if OP announced closing of restaurant 15 mins earlier, her attitude would not change. Due to her, OP had to stay late for closing down the store which sucked for him

Font - Every night I would announce closing. Like clockwork, she would take her sweet damn time packing everything up, and then head for the bathrooms. Every night we would finish and be ready to leave and she'd still be in there. And on Sweep-and-Mop nights, I couldn't lock everything up and mop until she was gone. It made my blood boil. We were not paid to be there that long, and it was almost midnight. #ServiceWorkersAreNotPaidEnoughForThis So I started announcing 15 min ahead of time that we

3. One night he snapped and was like ‘enough is enough.’ After making closing announcement, OP turned everything off, and when the lady was heading to the washrooms, he said we are closed and she can’t use them 

4. She insisted on going to the washroom but OP was determined and he refused by saying we closed 10 minutes ago. While going out she spilled the dog’s hot water on the floor

Font - Full-of-water lady: I drank a lot of tea I need to use the bathroom!" Me: "Sorry, we closed ten minutes ago." Full-of-water lady: "What am I supposed to do?" Me: "I'm sorry, we're closed" Full-of-water lady: *dumps the contents of her dog's water cup on the floor and walks out* I felt bad immediately bc where would she pee? The parking lot? But she never pulled that s i* on anyone in our shop again.
Well, that was something awful. I mean, the lady should have thought about some etiquette. Service boys do not get paid enough to be spending long hours after closing time. They need to be home. After all, this is ignorant behavior.

5. Some relevant example

Font - machinesgodiva 9 hours ago Now I don't feel so bad about my "Old Mr Jones" who camps out in my dining room from like 8pm to 11p when I have to close the dining room. He used to bring his own food and I told him he couldn't camp out like that and not order anything. So now he orders something. The SAME thing every night but he explains it to us like we've never heard it before. A plain and dry burger well done but not TOO well done with no salt and pepper. And then he needs six pepper pack

6. Turns out, that people are the same everywhere

7. Well, this is some other kind of example

Font - SylkoZakurra 9 hours ago · edited 9 hours ago I worked fast food a long time ago. We had an all you can eat fish night on Thursdays and this large family would always come in at 10 min before closing. We'd still close down all the fryers except for one, id still let staff mom the other side of the dining room and out the chairs up in the other side. They were usually there for an hour after closing, but we'd do as much as we could. It never seemed to phase them. We never got in trouble fo

8. Some customers really use their rights to exploit the restaurant and that’s truly not the right kind of behavior. These customers must not be treated nicely always

Font - werekitty93 4 hours ago I've posted this before. I used to work at a coffee shop, generally evening shift. But this time, it was an opening shift and I got to meet a regular - I'll call her Judy. Judy's usual was a blueberry muffin fresh from the oven, but she'd ask it be microwaved for 30 seconds. After receiving it, she'd complain how it just falls apart and just demand a new one. Usually, she's get it. But today wasn't an ordinary day. We had just gotten word that the store would be pe
