Closed As In No Longer Open

But I also didn't like that much a shop where I used to go where the people started to switch off the lights half an hour before closing, without telling to people who were already there that it was closing time.

That may be the store itself -- at the grocery I worked at as a youth, we were FORBIDDEN to tell people were closing unless they asked us directly. It SUCKED.

Maybe

its a cultural or country to country thing - back in NZ, at my old job I would tell people I was closed. I would never wait for them, why should I? My store was open 12 hours a day and just because they couldn't get in earlier doesn't mean I should have to stay later(though I would get paid extra). I studied full time, worked almost full time and at one point was taking care of my household as my mother was taking chemotherapy and was in no shape to do anything but stay in bed.

One time I had some douchewaffle banging on the door at dead on 9pm. Told him it was 9pm, he said oh my watch says 855 (even so you are a wanker for coming in this late!) I almost relented and let him in till he used the magic words -" I gonna call your boss." Yes he said I. I let him have it, told him to go right on ahead and that my bosses would be absolutely on my side, considering not only my personal circumstances but the fact that it was a liquor store in a lonely area.

Told him to f*** off basically and man was it good.

I felt great after though, went home and told my mum and she laughed. BUt here in the U.S we can't do that, I've had friends yelled out and we are told basically to take it. I call Shenanigans on that!
