    This person does not complain about not being served ten minutes after the establishment having closed, but about the fact that not one of the four employees could be arsed to let the guest know that they’re closed.

      Use this knowlege going forward:

      • if the door is locked the store is definitely closed
      • if i am an employee where the door is finally locked? It is both my prerogative and my absolute pleasure to not have to talk to you.

      There is never a reason to talk to someone behind a locked door because the type who does always want the same thing: an exception. And the type of person who believes they deserve this exception is the absolute last person you want to let inside (or even waste time arguing with). Mgmt knows this too, they just been working long enough theyre too wily for you to see them from the outside lol.

      Anyone who has worked with the public has at one point gone to that door and had that lesson taught to them the hard way, guarantee it.

      Also “guest”? this isn’t a work huddle. Don’t you ever use that corporate trash-assed word after you clocked out. You arent c-suite, don’t use their language

        so happy you said this. the use of the word “guest” instead of “customer” really gets under my skin

          Same with “associate” or “partner” instead of employee. Garbage nonsense. It’s insulting.

          I recently had a cashier call another one over for a purchase issue of mine and referred to me as a “guest”. It felt weird. I was not a guest. I was trying to exchange money for goods and services and leave.

          I don’t know what corporate big brain came up with the guest terminology, but it feels weird from every angle.

      Yeah like, they could put the opening hours on the door or something. Or lock the doors to indicate that it’s closed! Or shake their heads! Oh wait!

      Sure, they didn’t unlock the door to tell the person the door is locked, because the store is closed. What a fucking brainfart you having mate?
