This restaurant closer was ready to "prove a point." Overwork your employees, and they'll find ways to get back at management for putting such a heavy burden on them!
Once you've worked in both hourly roles and salaried roles, you realize how insane the workload is on hourly folks. They're often held to standards that just cannot be met in the time frame allotted to them, unlike salaried workers who are expected to work off the clock if necessary. For example, this person shared that while they were working an hourly gig at a golf course's restaurant, they were expected to work, train two people at once, and also close, all at once. Meanwhile, I'm sure their bosses were just lazing around, with no clue how difficult of a task they'd assigned to u/yungcremepuff, the OP.
This person at least did the right thing by not letting their bosses overwork them. Their bosses said to be done at a certain time, and the OP was able to let the restaurant remain, well, rather un-closed. There's always a rivalry between closers and those who open the next day after them, and these openers must've lost their minds after seeing what the OP did.
