I just don't understand what your "close" is then. If I come in 14 minutes before close, there's no food? Why would you list your closing time at 10:00 if you won't serve me at 9:50? If your kitchen closes at 9:45 then your posted hours should be 9:45 or earlier. If you're serving multiple courses then your close time should be no later than 8:30 if the kitchen closes at 9:45. If you're a to go place, then it should just be 9:45.

If you're just talking about someone going to Chipotle 5 minutes before closing and hanging out for 2 hours, sure, ya, dick move, but I think you can also just ask them to leave.

Close is when they lock the doors.

You should be considerate enough to realize if you cannot order, eat, pay, and leave by closing. You didn't get there in time.

Closing isnt when they stop taking orders, it's when your supposed to get the fuck out.

That's exactly it. I want to lock the doors, start sweeping and mopping, and close down the dish pit. I honestly don't give a shit when someone shows up, as long as they understand that need to be out by close. Go ahead, come in one minute before close, here's a shot and some bread that didn't get sold during the rush, adios. I just don't want to have to postpone my life because of the one person who decided to try to beat the buzzer, I've already been on for 8-10 hours and I'm beat. Shit, follow me to the bar I'm headed to, because they will still be open when I'm done, and you won't look like an asshole. They even have a solid vegan burger.
