He says it's his birthday and he has a lot of friends at home and he NEEDS to rent a movie. He made it sound like it was of international importance, as if human kind would become extinct due to nuclear bombs if he didn't get a movie. So I go, dude, I already closed everything, the lights are even out, I can't help you. He keeps going on and on and on, until I finally decide to just shut the door. He puts his foot in between. And then he starts screaming at me. He happened to be Turkish, and he was accusing me of not helping him because of that. That pissed me off. But I couldn't close the door because his damn foot was still blocking it. Then his friends get out of the car. I was starting to get really nervous at this point. They started saying the same things he was, and they got louder and louder by the minute. Just as one of his friends started pushing against the door to open it further a guy walked by and saw what was going on and got involved, threatening to call the police if they didn't move away. He already had his cellphone in his hand and I guess that was enough to scare them away. I don't think I want to know what might have happened if he hadn't shown up.

So yeah, we all have bad days at work now and then.

^jesus. that's crazy. that's one of the reasons i hate being alone in the store after we close. and i never, ever open the door after we close because half the people walking by and slamming on the door are crazy and drunk.
