Not even solely relegated to old people, either, unless the fediverse thinks 30-40 is old. We had one woman come by our shit little dollar store about 20 minutes after we'd closed. So, long enough for us to start counting out, cleaning, etc., but not long enough to go home yet.

Noticed the door was locked. Noticed those of us not still busy were hanging out and chatting while we waited, surreptitiously watching this person. Visibly read the store hours. Tried the lock again.

Started prying open the door while we all stared in horror, ended up breaking it, then threw a whole fit to boot because we couldn't sell her anything with all the tills in the back room and we kept trying to kick her out for some reason.

She wasn't even high. She was just that entitled, because very often for suburban moms, the rules don't apply if you don't let them.

In Scotland, supermarkets are not allowed to sell alcohol from 10pm to 10am. Every time I worked in a supermarket, there would inevitably be a queue of old ladies at the tills at 09:57am waiting for the exact moment that they were allowed to purchase their gin or vodka

"I need to use your toilet!"

"...and if you don't allow me to use your employee toilet and direct me to the public toilet next to the store I'll flip my shit and start kicking the door."

“Why are you closed?”

Bro legit I saw a boomer getting assaulted by a store worker because of this shit. Boomer thought people will come to his rescue because of his old age but nobody came lol and his ass got whooped for 10 mins straight

I did this one time accidentally. Needed to drop my car off for inspection and the guy on the phone told me to drop it off at 8am. I needed to catch their shuttle to work, so I interpreted that as it needed to be dropped by by 8am, not that they opened at 8am. He could have been clearer over the phone, and their hours were posted on a small piece of paper on a bulletin board two feet to the right of the door.
