It’s 9:30am. The store is closed with workers inside. Customers outside wanting to go in. The cashier said they are closed and she’s waiting on the next person. What kind of business is this? The website says it’s a 24 hour business. I start getting the managers phone number off of the window sticker. She comes out to see what I’m looking at and she then states with an attitude “ my manager knows we closed”. This is so unprofessional.
