I dont get how somebody don't get her annoyance. She has probably worked for at least 8 hours or more, and would finally be off, but then a customer comes at last minute, and tries to buy a huge amount of clothing, but ends up spending a crazy lot of OP's time. It may be embarrassing for the costumer, but as you see, when she tried to buy approx 50 t-shirts, the chance of her being in a big rush is quite small.

Hours posted on the door mean nothing. I get to close my office gettin 1 to 2 every day for an unpaid lunch. People come up to the four and there are TWO signs that say Closed for Lunch. Will return at 2. Does this stop then from pulling on the door and knocking on it... nope. People are too wrapped up in themselves anymore to care about others, or to notice something as trivial as closing times.

That most have been embarrassing for her. Image if she wires an fml too

When I worked at a retail store several years ago, we had a customer come in and purchase a few thousands dollars work of high end boots and clothing. They paid with a check (yes, yes I know but the manager accepted it!) and it turns out they put a stop payment on the check! It was in retaliation for something the corporate office had done in regards to the customer.

shit happens I bet she's embarrassed

Welcome to life.

This happened to me 2 days ago. I work in a coffee shop and 5min before closing 2 guys came in and ordered $20 worth of stuff, changed their minds on what they wanted twice and wanted to pay for the whole thing with a bunch of coins that I had to count out.

Sorry to hear that was a complete waste of time, though I suppose practice makes perfect.

Ahh, the joys of working retail. Slowly killing your soul one day at a time.

That's the problem with working in retail :/
