I get it, you want to go home. But if you advertise to the community that you are open until 2200, but regularly shut shop at 2145, just change your opening hours.
I often see this when the business owner and the business employees have different ideas about closing.
This is definitely an after-COVID thing. Pick hours and stick to them. Case-in-point – local Pho noodle place that advertises closing at 10pm, usually closes by 9pm, but they really want you to come by 8:30pm to pick-up your carryout.
If you are tired – post new hours. If you found new meaning in life – post new hours. If you are having trouble finding staff – post new hours.
Instead, I have to play this guessing game of when they close. My wife gets home at 9:30pm, so I’d rather not be picking up at 8:30pm (or being called back to please rush over to grab the food fast).
