Last night was a very very VERY quiet shift. I have never seen the place so empty. On a Sunday, we usually close at 1am, but the manager was walking around the place, and was fed up because there were only two people in the bar, so he decided to close up at 11pm. This would save a lot of hours and money, because the amount of money being brought in was a lot less than what he was paying for us to be there.
So, we close at 11pm, everyone is out, great stuff. We get our drinks and sit down and relax.
We hear the doors shaking, then another set, then another. Then the windows are being battered on.
Manager: Ignore them. They'll go away.
They didnt go away. Four customers, all very drunk, battering on the windows and shouting for us to let them in. I recognised these four, they are very annoying regulars who basically come in and trash the place once we've tidied everything up. No way in hell were they getting in.
The manager waves at them, then carries on drinking.
SC: LET US IN!
Manager goes up to the window.
Manager: I'm sorry, I didn't quiet catch that?
SC: LET US IN!
Manager: Sorry, we're closed.
SC: No you're not! You don't close til 1am! It's only 11:45!
Manager: I'm sorry, we're closed.
SC: WHY???
Manager: I dont need to give you an explaination.
SC: YES YOU DO! I WILL BE TAKING THIS UP WITH YOUR MANAGER!
Manager: I am the manager. This is MY bar, and I will close whenever I like. Thank you.
SC: LET US THE F**K IN!! WE WANT TO DRINK!!
Manager: I'm sorry? I can't hear you? What did you say?
The manager returns and sits with us. The four customers stood outside for 20 minutes, looking very confused as we sat and enjoyed our drinks.
