Let’s go to the extremes here: let’s say I’m a vegan, and love snakes and want my snake to not eat live mouse, do you think I can feed the snake vegan snake food?
This is all hypothetical as I dislike snakes and love bacon.
I have a few friends that work retail and we have talked about nightmarish customers. Shop closes at 7:30 every Friday 2 people walk in at 7:10-7:30ish For service that takes 30mins to complete for one person. They DEMAND they get the service, to which the tools to do such service are already put away by 7:10. Some times my friend bends to there requests, but i keep telling him. Closing time is closing time and your doing the equivalent of teaching your dog to eat off your plate. Its ok for now, but will come back to bite you.
If you are going to show up close to closing time, and they are still willing to serve you. TIP THEM WELL, Ive done it a few times which im guilty of, but ive made it worth there while.
There was one time in 2023 that my friends and i wanted to get together for some wings. We stopped by a dinner on the out skirts of town at 10:30pm and they close at 11:00. We went and i asked if they would still serve us, because i know its late. And i dont wanna be an asshole. They served us, me and the boys eate our wings caught up on life and left a heft tip on the table.
There was one time this year we went out to a local car hop, and it was 8:30 and they closed at 9. The girls serving and taking the orders did a great job, and it was 98° outside all day. So because i dont go out to eat a whole lot and id rather give my business to mom and pop shop. Rather than the local mega corp. We all pitched in and left a 40% tip which the meal for all of us was about $60. When she came to take the tray from the car window, she asked if we needed anything else. And i have her the tip of $36. Her face lit up, and asked if this was a mistake? I said it was on purpose and to have a good night. She smiled and thanked us, and we left. Altought the tip hurt my wallet quite a bit, to which my brain kept reminding me of the $36 i lost. It felt good to help sombody out especially that most likely has delt with alot of shitty people in shitty weather.
