Not Very Closed-Minded, Part 38

I work as a host at a restaurant located in a high-end clothing store. Because of our location, we cannot stay open later than the store. However, this never stops guests from wanting to sit and order dinner right when we are set to close.

A mom and her two young daughters come up and ask to look at the menu.

Mom: “What time are you open until?”

Me: “Our last seating is at 8:30 pm.”

Daughter #1: “That’s when our bedtime is!”

Mom: “Well, we still have some shopping to do, so why don’t we do that and come back?”

Daughter #2: “We should get here right when they close!”

Cue my internal screaming!
