Yelled at in a Kebab Shop

[JB107]

Doing something as innocent as ordering in a Kebab shop on a Saturday night.

The owner decided to insult me for coming in and ordering past closing time. The door was open. Am I within my rights here?

His employee gladly took my order. I mean, I'm paying quite a lot of money for this. Then the other guy has a go at me, saying if you come in past closing time again, you're going hungry.

I'm going through a lot of mental health problems atm, and I really don't need this from people I am giving money to.

Sorry you got yelled at.
That is not your fault at all, you are within your rights to order if you saw the door was open.
Don't let rude people like that ruin your day my friend

I agree with @iloverachel , @JB107 - they may have been having a bad day, you may not have been the first one to do that, it's a really stressful job; etc. None of these things are your fault, it's just unfortunate timing & they took out their frustration on you. That's all! So, I too, wouldn't take it personally, though it can be hard to know not to do so (in the heat of that battle).

Odd that they did not have the door closed and locked at closing time. Most places will do that as a normal procedure and many will start 15 minutes earlier and just let people in as they believe they can get things done and over.

They should have closed the place if they were actually closed. That's all on them. Plus yelling at and insulting customers isn't professional and a good way to lose business. I'm sorry that happened to you.

JB107 I'm sorry this happened to you. The level of civility which people show in public seems to be declining all the time. Please try not to take it to heart. You deserve a kebab without hostility or sarcasm. Maybe they just lost a customer forever?

Maybe you were interrupting some "slightyly-illegal," activity?

 

[JB107]

I won't be going in there again. Plus, the food is expensive and unhealthy. Feels like a reason to make a lifestyle change. They just lost a customer.

Only other thing I could think, is it was hot! Still hardly a justification for how they acted & treated you though.
