Almost exact same thing happened to me when I was a closer at Subway once. TWO FREAKING BUSSES, plus a few cars of players, parents. . . cheerleaders, school staff. It was about 10 minutes til close, and I was all alone in the store.
I ended up calling backup on my personal cellphone while I was making sandwiches (there was no time to use the store phone, which had a short cord on it. One of the ladies tried to come back and help me, and I was grateful, but I probably snapped at her a little bit (not in a mean way, just a more frantic way) that she couldn't be behind the counter.
I had to turn customers away that tried to walk in. I had to tell all the players and whatnot that they couldn't eat in the store, they had to get their food and go, as we closed twenty minutes ago. (by that time)
Yeah. My co-worker couldn't stay to help with the fallout. I had had EVERYTHING done prior to them coming in. I was all set up for an EARLY night out of the store. Instead, I didn't get home until well after 1AM (our store closed at 10).
When they left, I clocked out and stood there crying (I was an emotional 21 year old girl). The owner of the Subway stores around here has live CCTV feed of all his stores into his living room. He must have patched in just in time to see me standing there sobbing, because the next thing I know, the phone is ringing.
It's him, and he's telling me I'm not allowed to stand there crying on his time. I stammered out an apology, and tried to explain, and he interrupted me to tell me that was bullshit, and he knew I was crying about some guy or another.
Now, at this point in my life, I was more than a little pissed of at men, as they had (read: I had) fucked me over so many times, so I sort of snapped a bit. I told Mr. Cazier that his insinuations were not only insulting, but extremely false. I told him I didn't appreciate being talked to that way, and I told him to rewind the tapes, then call me back to apologize when he saw what I just went through. Then. . . I hung up on him. He didn't call back, and I clocked in and started cleaning up the store, while fearing for my job.
Took forever, but I eventually got out of there. The next day, my manager pulled me aside and said that my co-worker and I had pushed out a much units in 45 minutes, as they do in an hour of lunch rush... which is staffed by at least 5 people. She told me she not only had my back, but my DM (who apparently watched the tapes after seeing the numbers) said she also did.
I was fired a few months later for a totally unrelated incidence... part of me knows I did it on purpose. I was so done working at Subway after that night.
