Once it hits closing time (8pm on Sunday-Thursday; 9pm Friday & Saturday), we close the doors and put the gated fence up. No one else allowed in. We have to stay until the customers leave and the place is cleaned. Some customers like to finish their food, but sit and talk for an hour and sip their drinks even though we're clearly closed and standing around waiting for their dishes so we can close down the dishwashing station.
We try to talk them into ordering it to-go, but if they want to eat in we have to let them. We can't kick anyone out without reason, wanting to go home doesn't count as a reason. 🙁
Last pay check I was working close to 5 hours overtime pay per week.
Long hours, then I have to drive an hour (or an hour and 1/2, depending on construction) just to get home. I'm getting too busy to spend quality time with my girlfriend and it sucks major ass.
