re: Are you good with going in a restaurant right before it’s scheduled to close?

But it can be to avoid the ambiguity. Again, why leave things open to so many factors and you just expect the customer to know who gets off when behind the scenes?

Right, most people are saying that you can walk in 5 minutes before close. But you are being inconsiderate if you do. I guess that’s an odd concept to some of these people

Why is it inconsiderate if that’s what the restaurant is fine with?
Why are customers suppose to know the staffing details behind the scenes of a restaurant before making their decision?

Because you should be able to deduce if the hours are a restaurant are from 5-10, then you shouldn’t expect to be able to hangout until 11. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp for people who are mindful.

I definitely give people time to eat but a typical table for me is 45 minutes. There is a point where I need to secure the restaurant especially when it comes to the safety of the young women that work for me

Some.post when seating ends and kitchen closes. I couldn't do it since sports is part of our concept and the one reason we will operate later if the game requires. For the fame tonight, last call for the kitchen will be made 15 minutes before close. The bar will remain open a bit later and last call will be made in according to the game

What if they are annd have been allowed to at others?
Why the need for ambiguity? The restaurant is apparently fine with that, yea?

What’s this entail?

And the ones that don’t are ok with the ambiguity. So they in turn have to deal with it.

Last call can be explained to people when they come in at a certain time, game or not, correct?
Posted on 5/31/25 at 5:46 pm to TackySweater
Locking the doors, securing money, managing who is coming and going
They are in the minority. Most people understand
For my purposes it really isn't necessary. For tonight it will be explained if we have a crowd still there

Why do servers and cooks get to decide this? The people that actually run the establishment clearly don't agree, so why do we ignore what is considerate for the customer?
Every other industry operates under the "customer is always right" policy. Why is the customer wrong here?
The entitlement from the service industry is something else

You are missing the forest for the trees. No one is saying that you can’t do it. People are saying that you are rude/inconsiderate if you do.
Just like jmart said earlier, it’s similar to the shopping cart issue. Do you have to return your cart? Of course not. Are you inconsiderate if you don’t? Also, of course.

With zero legitimate reasoning behind it.

Not close to the same thing.
Only in the service industry is the customer an a-hole and inconsiderate for giving a restaurant their business during posted hours.

This is not true at all

You have anything substantive to say other than someone's an a-hole or autistic for ... reasons? For someone that supposedly never worked in the industry, you sure are worked up over this
Posted on 5/31/25 at 6:17 pm to LNCHBOX
It doesn't make someone rude at all. It is common for someone to not want more work 10 minutes before it is time to go. It's one person saying "hey, id want to get home if I was you so I'm not going to do this." You suck it up if they do and move on with life
Also, no, the customer is not always right. I am high volume and designed to service that. Special orders slow things down and you have to have some limits for those people. The guest believes their order is the only order in the kitchen. They are not concerned with the 30 or 40 other tables in the building but they exist to the kitchen

I wouldn't expect to go home as a worker at a restaurant's posted closing time though
Look, I don't even go to restaurant's to sit down since covid so I'm not the guy in there 5 minutes before close. But I also realize that closing time isn't leaving time in certain industries
Another downvote that will almost assuredly never have an explanation attached to it

You seem to have strong opinions for someone who doesn’t even dine out
Posted on 5/31/25 at 6:34 pm to LNCHBOX
I agree with you that they are very entitled bit a server can leave very quickly hence the hate for late tables. Basic opportunity cost to them: your 20% tip or pre closing so they can leave asap

Says the strong opinion from someone that wasn't a server. Another epic repetitive post. Who could have seen it coming.
