Why are people so inconsiderate when it's closing time? I don't know if people who have never worked in retail realize that we don't just lock up and go home. We have to stay for at least another hour or more after people leave.
They think you just go into the back room and power down until the store opens again

I'm liking the thought of this! Closing time playlist...if only we had access to our DMX player - it's one of those players that you can't change or mess with except to turn on and off. No CDs involved. If I was smart I would figure out a way to configure it to play those songs, at least just for laughs. But I'd probably get into huge trouble with corporate...sigh.
we close at 6 on sundays like most stores, and we had some preteen walk up and in a semi annoyed/accusatory voice go. "Why did you close early?!"
I looked at the hours posted, then at my watch. "We closed at our normal sunday hours, just like all of the stores here at ____. The restaurants and theater are the only places still open."
Preteen: "oh."

We close at 6 pm on Sundays too as I mentioned earlier, like basically everyone else in every mall in America. The whole mall closes at 6 instead of some of the restaurants, much like your mall. We're an outdoor center so I think for some reason people just automatically think that means we stay open later or that we never close, ever. Not sure why, but that's just the feeling I get from working at said outdoor center for the last four years. We close at 9 pm every day except Sunday. Almost every day in the summer, we will have people still in the store at close even on week days but they usually clear out pretty quickly. Even on Saturday night people will usually get out when we tell them, sorry, closed.
But for SOME REASON, on Sundays people always conveniently forget that we're closed. It's not closing early. It's the regular posted time. Some lady asked me the same thing that preteen asked you last weekend when she saw us locking the doors and turning off the music - "Oh, are you closing early today?" No, we close at 6 just like the store next to us and the store next to that one and the rest of the entire freaking mall does at the same time every week. It's our regular hours for Sunday (and we have two signs posted on our door but we all know that customers don't read the hours of operation signs).
I think people think that since the restaurants stay open later that the stores do too which is obviously NOT the case. So they get all pissy when they realize that the stores are closed and whine about wanting to shop after they eat dinner.
For you it's Sunday. For me, it's the most important thing in my life!

I guess normal people would actually see the signs, know what time they close, and then decide whether or not they have enough time to shop, but nooooooooo......!
They figure "Oh! If I go in NOW, then they HAVE to wait until I'M done before they can go home because they don't have lives." I guess they forgot they are dealing with other humans, but that would be oh so logical..........
