Isn't that to serve people who are already in the lane at closing time?
Not often in favour of corps, but it is a bit entitled to knowingly arrive after a places closing time to try to take advantage of that courtesy.
At this point it's not about corporations, it's about how much we expect corporations to exploit their workers for our convenience.
That's pretty much the exact situation they're describing. They were in line before closing, but were 1 minute after closing by the time they actually got far enough up in line to place their order.
Sounds to me like they got in line at 8:01 and it took them 7 minutes to make it to order, ie they were still inside the 10 minute "window". At no point do they say they arrived before closing.
Not to defend this person, but I took it as they were stuck in line behind the other 2 cars and couldn’t get out so they had to not order but then wait for the other cars in front of them to get finished before they could leave. Which is frustrating, but no reason to give 1 star for people who are just trying to go home close to when they’re actually supposed to be able to.
They didn't say that though. They said they got in the drive through line at 08:01, which would have already been past closing. They knew what they were doing, and the employees were clearly having none of that
That 8:01 part is probably a lie, as well. More like 8:10.
