If a business can’t or doesn’t want to provide their service after 7pm, their closing time should be 7pm (or earlier), not 730pm. It’s not “assbag” to go into an open business and expect to receive whatever service they allegedly provide, and it certainly doesn’t warrant extraordinary tips.

PSA dont be a assbag
I have a few friends that work retail and we have talked about nightmarish customers. Shop closes at 7:30 every Friday 2 people walk in at 7:10-7:30ish For service that takes 30mins to complete for one person. They DEMAND they get the service, to which the tools to do such service are already put away by 7:10. Some times my friend bends to there requests, but i keep telling him. Closing time is closing time and your doing the equivalent of teaching your dog to eat off your plate. Its ok for now, but will come back to bite you.
If you are going to show up close to closing time, and they are still willing to serve you. TIP THEM WELL, Ive done it a few times which im guilty of, but ive made it worth there while.
There was one time in 2023 that my friends and i wanted to get together for some wings. We stopped by a dinner on the out skirts of town at 10:30pm and they close at 11:00. We went and i asked if they would still serve us, because i know its late. And i dont wanna be an asshole. They served us, me and the boys eate our wings caught up on life and left a heft tip on the table.
There was one time this year we went out to a local car hop, and it was 8:30 and they closed at 9. The girls serving and taking the orders did a great job, and it was 98° outside all day. So because i dont go out to eat a whole lot and id rather give my business to mom and pop shop. Rather than the local mega corp. We all pitched in and left a 40% tip which the meal for all of us was about $60. When she came to take the tray from the car window, she asked if we needed anything else. And i have her the tip of $36. Her face lit up, and asked if this was a mistake? I said it was on purpose and to have a good night. She smiled and thanked us, and we left. Altought the tip hurt my wallet quite a bit, to which my brain kept reminding me of the $36 i lost. It felt good to help sombody out especially that most likely has delt with alot of shitty people in shitty weather.

100% this, I’ve been a few times to pubs etc. where they tell you the kitchen closing time separately from the pub closing time but then when you try to order food before that they say they already took last orders because the kitchen staff finish at that time.
Like bro, politely I do not care what time your staff finish their shift, it doesn’t affect me. As a customer, I care what time service ends - that’s the time that should be included on the opening hours to the public.

There is always going to be a divide between people who have done restaurant closings and those that haven’t. Some people who haven’t done it will not see any issue with showing up 10 minutes to closing and ordering everything on the menu. You can’t change their minds.
The last time I was traveling and absolutely had no choice but to go into a Chiplote 20 minutes to closing (it was the only place for miles still open), I made sure to be flexible about only asking for things that hadn’t been put away already. I ended up getting what seemed like quad portions and free chips. Be nice to servers and they are nice to you.

Same, I’ve been forced to enter restaurants around closing time and usually asked for “whatever you’ve still got hot”

Naah every service that expects that “the client is king” philosophie have sentiment for all kind of people working in the same area.
I mean, I did retail jobs a few years ago, and still today when I go shopping or at restaurants or any other service, I always chose my time accordinlgy to not bother them to much… Because I know how people can be stupid assholes…
But from time to time you get some chill lovely creatures and that always brightened my day ☀️
