Earlier Closing Time On Fridays RANT About How Mom Responded

[Indoorvoice]

Oh man. I wrote about this same situation a while back. I agreed to stay open late for one family and came to find out dad had every Friday off and was using my extra time to go to the bar. They were not paying extra for my extra time and their kids were the only ones staying that late. I told them it wasn't cost effective for me to stay open late for one family and that I was closing an hour early effective immediately. Your decision does not need to make them happy and they don't need to feel that its fair! They are using you, they can take your rules or leave them! If anything, they should feel bad!

Op - since this happened at the beginning of December, has there been an update? Did they leave or have they been able to work the hours?

Could always tell her you were considering closing on Fridays all together, but felt it would be too much of an inconvenience for some to just do it, so your slowly phasing them out an hour at a time. Tell her you will let her know when the next "hour" will take effect

But I'm still interested in how it played out.
