Stopping them is bothering them

(It’s 5am. The store opens at 6. I text the grocery manager to unlock the front door and let me in.)

(When I walk up, there’s a woman waiting by the door.)

Customer: This is crazy. I can’t believe I can’t get in.

Me: I’m sorry, we don’t open for another hour.

Customer: Is that everyday?!

Me: Yes, ma’am. Everyday.

Customer: This is crazy. I can see people in there. They should let me in, I wouldn’t bother anyone.

Me: Well, there isn’t any money in the registers.

Customer:Someone in there knows how to run a register. They could stop what they’re doing and check me out.

(An hour later I see the woman checking out. All she has is a 24 pack of Miller High Life.)
