It takes a special kind of person to walk into any establishment right before closing and demand service. The worst is when the people coming in at the last minute are coming with company, especially children. It's way easier, of course, for an employee to turn down one person. Turning down a group of screaming children is not quite as simple.

Furthermore, these kinds of interactions give an unfortunate window into the kids' worlds, as they are being raised with such a sense of entitlement that you can practically foresee the thousands of dollars of therapy they are going to have to spend when they mature and realize that the world does not revolve around them. 

Check out this story about an entitled dad, his three kids, and an urgent care worker!

    CLOSED "Guy comes in seconds before closing"

  • Now, before we get into the full details of the story, we are sympathetic to the fact that parents of small children cannot predict when they need to step into an urgent care. However, based on the chatty father's behavior when he entered the establishment just before closing, it was clear to the urgent care worker that his needs as well as the needs of his kids were not nearly as urgent as he was making it seem. Besides, most sensible folks know that if it's after 10:00 pm and it's serious, there's always the emergency room…

    So I take a look at the clock 10:01 and hes not moving. So I shut off my computer and shut the lights off which gets his attention. He walks over and in the most snarky voice possible saus "Me and my 3 kids need to be seen". My

    Unfortunately not as a patient but as a companion to the people he was talking to in the lobby. So I offer to walk them out so I can lock the door behind them. I was out at 10:05pm and happy as a clam.

    Several members of the online community praised the urgent care worker for standing his ground and for refusing to give into the entitled father. That's what you get for disrespecting people's time, sir!

    If it was just one of the kids, I could have told myself the poor kid can't help having a crappy dad. Since it's him and the kids, it's obviously not that urgent to him. I would have done the exact same thing.

    ElseeC 12h ago • Such crop. I used to work at urgent care and I'd experience the same thing. They don't realize a normal visit could take up to 2 hours with X-rays, labs, etc. the charge RN would just say we're closed and there is an ER 10 minutes down the road.

    1. Don't show up right before closing. 2. Don't call the store right when it opens because chances are the employees have more important stuff to be doing at that moment than answer the phone.

    Entitlement knows no bounds. You were so right not to register them. Entitled people have no respect for closing time and they are entitled to a lesson about what is and what is not acceptable. Well done you on your petty revenge.
