yes you're the A Hole.

just about any returnt staff for just about every known restaurant will tell you that within the last 5minutes of closing the entire staff is cursing your name and wishing for your end to come sooner than later.. the reason is by the time the door says closed most kitchens in any restaurant of any type have been shut down and cleaning is about finished, and now you want them to turn everything back on and cook you some food... YES that makes you the aSSHOLE, DOESN'T Matter if policy states orders are taken into the last minute... you have just disrupted everything and made employees stay late to clean a second time... so for the sake of employee sanity and, your food sanitation... please do not place orders within 30 minutes of closing.. or if placing an order remember to tip well, and the staff will remember the kind gesture.
