Most service workers pay very close attention to how customers act, it's a big thing for them. Any flip-out by a customer is definitely noted and talked about by them. I always try to treat them kindly, it probably wouldn't be easy to have that job but their work is certainly imperative and appreciated. Even if I'm frustrated, because they take too long, get order wrong, don't have the menu item available, I do take it gracefully.
The other day they said they didn't have an item available and I just said okay thanks anyways but I'm going to another place instead. You can reject them without being an a-hole. I save that for the bad drivers on the road.
Breakfast is for idiots. You spend your whole sleep using almost no carbs, and filling up your muscles and liver with fresh glycogen.
To eat immediately afterward is like filling up at the gas station, then driving to the next gas station a block away and getting more. This is a major cause of obesity in modern people.
No, people in older times didn't eat right away. They'd get up, work for a while, then have a midday meal and relax. Work again, then dinner.
Oh my god, that toxic chemical glycogen eating people’s muscles and liver with Chianti and fava beans.

You're welcome to whatever dietary habits you prefer, but you clearly didn't listen carefully enough to whatever podcast you got that from. Sleep doesn't "fill up your muscles and liver with fresh glycogen." On the contrary, you'll use up most of your liver glycogen overnight to keep your brain and other organs fueled. That's why marathoners (at least, good ones) wake up early to eat something before their race. Your muscle glycogen levels will stay roughly where they were when you went to bed.
"By morning, 60-80% of the liver glycogen has been secreted and used by cells throughout the body."
Interested in training on low glycogen levels? Doing it by running in the morning, without breakfast? If so, you may not be doing what you intend. In this episode, I explain why and provide an actionable and reliable approach...
I respond 'OK'. Because these past couple of years I have had several instances of walking into a place that says there are open until say 9pm at around 8:40pm, and have them tell me, "Sorry the kitchen is already closed." Often they won't even tell me when it closes for my own future reference. So this would be less irritating.
When a restaurant closes at nine, that means they want you out by nine. It's not acceptable to walk in a few minutes before closing and expect to be served. It takes time for a kitchen to close, and the workers want to leave, not wait for some entitled customer to finish their meal. This is why some bars and restaurants set their clocks fifteen minutes early.

You're such an angel Steve.
You deserve the pat on the back you're giving yourself, not abusing someone for something out of their control is such a hard thing to do.
I will respond to YOU. You know when breakfast stops being served. Having worked at McDonald's as a teenager, I can tell you that they try to make just enough food to squeak up to 10:30 so as to eliminate food waste.
If you want breakfast from McDonald's, get your lazy ass out of bed and get down there well in advance of 10:30. What makes you so special that the rules don't apply to you?
AND, if this was just a Walking Tall thing, then meh.
On principle, they have the right to refuse to sell to you. But also, on principle, it’s a fact that it’s sorry to waste.
I think we should all pick up the attitude to speak back with reasonable inquiry and explicit criticism and expectations of vendors. It’s unacceptable for businesses to waste food. We also have to be willing to not buy. We have the right to decline our patronage to businesses while keeping a level head and a proper but dgaf attitude.
CFA threw away a biscuit that I had redeemed through the app as a local area freebie, as I had placed the order at 10:19 am and was driving to get it and run errands at 10:30 am. I called their store and confirmed that they were either not going to fulfill the order, or just received garbled nonsense evading the question…
so in turn - we can’t be Karens in response to proprietor’s house rules. But we can communicate clearly, be critical, use the principle of eliminating waste, cast some shame (not on the minimum wage counter worker, of course), refuse patronage, and project a polite attitude

So then, wouldn't breakfast at 10:31 not mean exactly what you're asking for?
Seriously the idiocy in your thought process against breakfast is astounding. Maybe you should eat more.

This is spot on. You can't call yourself a runner if you don't get at least 10 miles in before your first meal or snack of the day.
holy shnikes people this is a reference to the all-time slapper Falling Down, when Michael Douglas developed a circle change alongside his Wall Street Verlander / Cole fastball.
wine in the morning / breakfast at night / i'm beginning to see the light

If any business is open until 9PM, then they should be taking new customers until 9PM. If you aren't taking new customers, then you are not open. If I look them up on the internet to drive to there, it says they are still open. They have control over what it says. Don't tell your potential customers you are open, but then aren't taking customers.
BestBuy closes at 10PM. I can walk in at 9:58PM. But they want me in the check-out line at 10PM, or very shortly after. I understand the limited time I have, but I get that little time.
And the other point was this wasn't cutting it close. It was 20 minutes. Enough time for them to take my order and prepare it in the kitchen. I went to one of the places one more time, 35 minutes before closing, and again they said the kitchen was closed. They didn't even act sorry in any way. Never went back again. They are out of business now. That used to be a popular place, then they got a new set of employees with a new attitude, "Me first". That attitude sucked. And quickly enough, so did their business.
