I've been ordering (takeout) dinner from my favorite sandwich place 15-30 minutes before close for MONTHS. They almost always accept my order, and I never realized the massive inconvenience I was causing. I didn't even tip them on some days!
I'm 25 years old, and I've gone my whole life without realizing that closing time for a restaurant does not mean the same thing as closing time for a store. This is just one of those blind spots in a persons knowledge base that's totally inexplicable, "How have you lived your whole life and not known that?" I've never worked in a service industry job before, and I always assumed that "open from 11am to 8pm" means "stop accepting orders at 8pm, continue cooking & serving whatever is queued up, and clean & close when that's done". It's just, like, what's the most important time for a customer to know? The time when that customer will be refused! So of course the one time thats listed must be that one most important time! But I just got absolutely evicerated by redditors, and informed that "closed at 8" actually means "lights off, doors locked, all employees out at 8". I feel like shit.
TL;DR I've been ordering dinner from my favorite sandwich place 15-30 minutes before close for MONTHS and nobody ever told me that this is stupendously not cool.
