Unfiltered Story #109707

(It has been a long day as a cashier. A customer gets into my line and I turn my light off, indicating this will be my last customer for today.  As I was finishing up his transaction, a woman comes up with an armful of items.)
Me: Oh, excuse me ma’am, I’m closed. But if you like, you can go down to register 8, they have no line.
Woman: What?? I only have a few items! This is ridiculous!
(She walks off in a huff to go stand in line at another register even though #8 was completely open.  My customer turns to me.)
Man: When you’re closed, you’re closed. I can’t believe people are so awful like that.  Have a good night!
(I smiled. Thanks for understanding my pain!)
