Teenagers/College kids closing Tysons Corner Center stores 30-60 minutes early on Fri-Sat nights?

Our local Subway now closes at 7. It’s not always the decision if the employees.

I knew the metrorail station would eventually bring in trouble makers.

The shooter drove.

Most of the shoplifters are coming in from dc. The posts supporting the early closings are sad and indicative of the lazy/entitled culture now prevalent in the US. Lack of integrity and work ethic. I understand OPs frustration. Customer service, in general, is gone. There are loads of people begging for cash on street corners where I live next to stores that are desperate for employees. It’s very concerning.

It’s different if you have stated hours that are consistent versus randomly closing early.

I moved from New York City, where most of the best stores open at 11 am and close at 7 pm. The sense of entitlement here is unreal. Should they advertise they are closing earlier? Sure. But are they required to be open later cause you prefer it? No.

The problem isn't entitlement that they should be open extended hours. The problem is that they say they are going to be open until between X hours and then randomly open and close at different times.

I've been to stores whose website and front door state they open at 11, only to find that they open much later than that on a regular basis.

Sue for false advertising. Teach them a lesson they won't soon forget.

I agree with a PP that it's really ignorant of you to blame teens or young adults. This is likely a store manager decision.

+1 My son works at a clothing store at Tysons and consistently works until 11pm when he's on the closing shift. He'd be pretty annoyed if the manager closed early because he wants as many hours as he can get to put towards college expenses.

Have you tried telling the store's manager? She may not know (and is losing money).

I would call the mall security and see if there is something wrong.

The managers know because they have an alamr report of when it was set. Did you people never work a job?

This is exactly what I was thinking.

You want longer hours? Do something about the smash and grabs in Tysons.

If I’m trying to shop after work and on the night when my kids don’t have an activity or I don’t have evening work commitments, it can be almost impossible or take weeks of hit-or-miss attempts. There are plenty of things that aren’t easily ordered online or offer free in-store returns but expensive return shipping. I miss the pre-Covid hours.

We were recently in a part of Asia with a huge mall culture and stores were open until 9:30-10:00 pm even on weekend nights. It was more convenient to go to *another continent* for my usual cosmetics stock-up and the kids’ back-to-school shopping than to go to my walkable-from-home, massive outdoor shopping center in the US.

There’s a lot of drama in this post.

Seriously. If only poor, pitiful, put-upon PP had access to this magical place called The Internet, where shopping is open 24/7.

You cannot try clothes on online.

True. But it's a whole lot safer rhan being around "kids" who commit crimes.

Most are teenagers shoplifting for fun. Suburban teenagers.
