People banging on store doors after closing

Why do people do this? The hours are marked on the door, if you want something please come at opening hours, don't come 10 minutes after closing and start pounding on the door.

I've no problem with the doormen stopping people entering 5-10 minutes before the advertised closing times at all. It's common sense. Its the fault of twats that abused the system in the first place (came in at a minute to close and evaded staff and security for 15/20/25/30 minutes)

Anyone who is already in the shop can finish up and the staff can close the tills at the end of their shift. I've worked in retail and if the shop closes at 6 you get paid till 6. Then you spend 15 minutes counting the till ON YOUR OWN TIME. If you're lucky and the till balances then you can go. If not you're scrolling visually through a till roll 7 miles long and maybe having to check cctv and all that crap ALL ON YOUR OWN TIME.

Thats right UNPAID. So if some twat comes knocking on the shutter expecting you to let them in, reverse all your counting, open the till again and start allowing transactions then they are INSANE.

Why? Why would any staff member do this (Apart from the childs medication) People in shops work for money not charity and do not give a crap about some punters hard luck story.

Boo hoo all ye like. They don't care!

If that's the case then why don't shops put the advertised closing time half an hour before actual closing time to stop all these problems. Now THAT'S common sense.
