Not open yet!
Why do people show up an hour before the mall even opens, when all the lights aren't even on yet, and all the gates for every store are pulled down, and go around banging on all the gates yelling, "YOU OPEN YET!?" Had someone here 45 minutes before open this morning. Yes ma'am I'm actually open. I just put the gate down because I assume people can walk through solid objects, just like I can. I like crack cocaine! Love when people ask "What time y'all open?" and I say, "The mall opens at 10am." Then they reply, "What time does Y'ALL open though?" Then I say, "The same time as the mall." And they reply,"And what time would that be?!".............................

at least you have a gate, i'm in a kiosk and people don't care if i'm "open" or not they just come up and interrupt me doing inventory or counting the register. but today i got this one (i work in a verizon kiosk mind you) "hey what time does t-mobile open up over there?"
Why am i in retail?????

I used to be the night janitor for a Mickey D's (don't laugh, it paid pretty well), and one night, like 3AM (before the store went to 24hr format), I'm hauling out the trash, and there's this doofus standing at the drive thru window. Keep in mind most of the restaurant lights are off and the big glowing arches too. He sees me in my grungy work clothes, and calls out:
"Yeah, I want a big mac and fries...."
"Sir, we're closed. Come back at 6 AM."
"Oh, I can get a Big Mac then?"
🙄
True story.
