Do you dislike stores and restaurants that have odd hours? / myLot

So, I did my mystery shop today, and was surprised to find it in a nice little community, a town center sort of place. it was pretty cute. The apartment was nice and came with a lot of extra's but had one fatal flaw as far as I was concerned. However, there was this neat coffeehouse in the town center part, and I thought great when I am done with the shop I will head over there and have a designer coffee. Not to be, they had just closed a few minutes prior

. Now that was disappointing! Gee, closing in the middle of the day? sigh..I understand they may do most of their business earlier, but I really wanted to check it out...Lord knows when I will be in that area again!

Dislike them, no. But not happy if i go to like dunkin and they're closed, which is how it is in my town after 2pm so have to go to another town. However we do have breakfast and lunch only, and lunch and dinner only restaurants.

I haven't known Dunkin in these parts to close early, but Einstein Bagels does I know. That is another place, I have wanted to visit in the afternoon and no dice.

That's too bad. I generally don't go places that often but when I do it's usually at those diners that are open early morn til late night.

There aren't any places nearby like that, they just wouldn't do the business..but some of the bigger areas have those.

Definitely don't like weird hours. One local coffee shop near me is open only 9am to 12pm. Like, and you wonder why you don't get much business? Lol!

I wonder how many people have showed up after 12 only to get a rude awakening!

What a shame. The coffee shop just up the road from us closes around lunchtime too. It does a roaring trade early in the day.

I suppose that is the way this one was. if only I had had time to go there before the shop well actually I had a few minutes to spare, I could have. Curses, foiled again!
