Don't be that guy or girl

One of my favorite parts of the day is knowing that it's almost time to go home. Especially when I go to work after work. Last night was a work after work night since I closed at the mall. When 9:00 comes I'm ready to close the doors and prepare to go home. However, this hope is quickly ruined when a customer walks in at 8:59. 

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. It instantly puts me in a scrooge mood. I think it's so rude! I have to bite my tongue and control my temper, but I really want to ask them to leave and come back during store hours. The customer was very sweet, but that doesn't overrule this rude act. To speed things along I asked if there was anything she was looking for or anything that I could help her find. Of course not. She's just browsing. I believe she said, "I'm just going to try on a few things and then be out of here. We all need to get home." At this point I have been working for twelve hours. Selfishly, I want to go home now and she ruined it for me. I'm generally an upbeat and positive person. I had to play nice at this point. 

I realize that in the general scheme of things this is not a big deal at all. But, it's still rude. Moral of the story, don't go into a place of business when they are about to close just to browse. If you have ever worked in retail you understand where I am coming from. Please be respectful of other people's time.
