Well, I would not want to do business with that store anymore. And I would tell your friends that you have a problem with that store.
But, I don't think you are going to get any coupons/discounts/apologies, if you haven't already.
Remember this the next time it is you having to stay late at work - that someone needs your services. |

I bet you have never worked at a store, have you?
If so, you would see that every night 5 mins until close, someone walks in the last minute. Takes their time and you end up getting out of the store 10 -20 mins late. Every night. So go during the day, you have all day. |

He was probably tired from having to deal with jerks and idiots all day..Happens to me..give him a break. |

Many stores do that. The sales team has no idea if your buying one item or a cartfull. Its really aggrivating to have someone wandering through the isles aimlessly looking for something they might want. I know its unfair, but it happens. |

No, 9 minutes really isn't enough time, IMO. But it would depend on the store, what you were buying and how many other customers were in the store (if any). It was probably not a good business practice to ignore you, however. I am sure the owner has lost a customer. |

If I were you and there was another store in the vicinity I would stop supporting him and let him know and the reason why too. No it definitely doesn't justify denial of service, as long as you are in the store before the closing time stated on the entrance as business hours they are supposed to grant you service and 9 minutes is not like you arrived there exactly at closing time. |

Yeah that is a bit bad of him. But yeah, give him a break I worked in a shop for a while and it ain't easy work like people seem to think. Not that it justifies him in any way for closing early. We used to have idiots show up a minute before we close and then grab a trolley and walk at a snails pace through the store. THAT was annoying...don't do it people have a thought for the poor foold who are stuck there for whatever reason. yeah we could get a new job but took me ages to get out of there.......off topic hehe. He should never have shut so early, also he was a fool for admitting he was ignoring you. In fact, just to annoy him be one of the people who turns up at the last mintue and wanders through at their leisure!!!!! |

Depends, I used to work at Circuit City as my second job nights and weekends and any big store has to let customers in even up to a minute before closing time. We weren't even allowed to close the gates and lock the doors until 2 minutes after closing time.
A small "ma and pa" store can do whatever they want-it's their store.
I personally would not shop at that store ever again. I wouldn't give my money to someone who doesn't have good customer service skills. It doesn't matter if the customer is right or wrong-the customer is always right he should have apologized anyway. |

I would say that you were there in more than enough time to make a purchase. That man was wrong. If you know for sure whether he's not the owner, then report him to the owner. Otherwise there's not much you can do.
But your service shouldn't have been denied. If that isn't the only store in your neighborhood that is open during the time you went, then don't go there anymore. |

Well if he is the owner, then he decides when the doors close. You have no rights as a consumer. |

People do as much work as they are willing to do, and no more. If the store owner decided he was done for the day, and locked up early, the only thing you can do is to notify other customers that he doesn't keep the hours he advertises.
That might be the basis for an argument that he is untrustworthy, or someone no one wants to do business with. However, it's his store, and he can do as he pleases. |

Don't shop there any more and tell everyone you know about it. |

If it's a private business he can pretty much do as he pleases, he can close at noon and not come back and there isn't a thing you can do about it. If it is part of a chain complain to the company headquarters. And lastly take your business elsewhere. |

no because if you're there to provide a service and you have 9 mins left you got to do you're job , unless you can leave early |

Next time I would go a little earlier. No one appreciates customers who come in at the last minute an then dally around and make the salesman stay after closing time. It probably would have taken more than 9 minutes for you to choose an item and get it paid for. Then they still have to close up for the night. The owner can do as he pleases. If he wanted to close up early for some reason its his prerogative. If you don't like the way they do business, don't shop there in the future. |

No shop keeper should close early or deny a customer service during business hours. Although, it is always courteous as a customer to give sufficient shopping time, and depending on the type of store, 9 minutes just doesn't seem sufficient to me. If you were running into a convenience store for a bottle of milk, that seems like plenty of time. But if you wanted to peruse the racks of a clothing shop, it doesn't. |

Nope, it doesn't justify it all. His store can be fined for closing early.
Anyone in retail is obligated to serve anyone to fullest of their ability until closing time. |

Is this a head shop? Because it's never too late for head. |
