K, I don’t care what you’re studying, if you start packing up your table full of homework AFTER the store closes, I get to shove at least one of your notebooks in the coffee grinder

We have a guy who comes in and does this at least three times a week. We give him a fifteen, a ten, and a five minute warning. He acknowledges us each time. He still looks shocked when our timer turns the lights off automatically. He’s always still sitting there when we turn the lights back on. He then takes his sweeeeeeet time packing up his laptop, shrugging his jacket on, untangling his ear-buds and making sure they lay jussst right over his shoulders. Then, he goes to the bathroom, comes back out, digs for his keys. It takes this dude fifteen minutes to get himself together and leave. All the while, we’re just standing there, staring at him.
I don’t understand.

We used to have a timer for the lights in my old store, too. I can't tell you how many times we were yelled at for that freaking timer. I would tell them that it was an automatic warning and we had absolutely no control over it, but of course that didn't matter. It was rude, you see.
Then that store started closing an hour earlier and the timer warning wasn't reset. Far as I know, it still isn't. But I don't work at that location anymore.

My SO and I bought lottery tickets the other day. He asked me what I would do if we won a several million dollar jackpot.
Most people would start listing the things the would buy and the places they would go.
I told him I’d go to work the next day and just start telling everyone what I really thought.
“Your lattes look like shit, Jackie.”
“Get off your fucking phone, Dave, or I’m just going to ring you up for whatever my little finger lands on first.”
“I’ve been serving you decaf since November, Karen.”
“That haircut makes you look like an Ogre Gertie.”
This guy would be at the top of my list.
“Get your shit and get the fuck out of my store. We’ve been closing at the same time every night since the store opened. I want to leave, my baristas want to leave, we hate you, and that shirt makes you look like a fat middle-school bully.”
I figure it would take our inattentive SM and corporate at LEAST 24 hours to catch on and separate me. It would be better than going to Disney World.

I warned you at fifteen minutes, at ten minutes, and five minutes. I'm turning off the lights at close no exceptions
