[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP:  You say you got your answer and that you're open to the possibility you were wrong.  What have you concluded?  Most people seem to think you were wrong even if they think the store should have stayed open.

Here's my view:  You were acting like an entitled jerk.

Why entitled?  [b]Because sandwich shops are not there for your convenience[/b].  You have no right to a sandwich even if it's an hour before the posted closing time.  The store is there to earn a profit.  They are willing to sell you a sandwich if you're willing to buy it, but they can decide to close when it's slow if they choose.  The consequence to them is that they don't get to sell you or anyone else who comes along a sandwich, and may lose you as a future customer, but they don't have to open just because they're normally open at that time and you happen to have planned poorly.

Why a jerk?  Because even if they employees were not acting under their manager's orders, you put your convenience ahead of theirs.  They were halfway closed an locked the door, yet you insisted that they let you in and give you food even though you had an HOUR before your son's training was done.  Undoubtedly you are aware of one or two vegetarian options within 25 minutes' drive that would have gotten you back in time.[/quote]

Actually, they are there for everyone's convenience. That's why they exist. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.[/quote]

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the world that you would be well advised to correct.  Nobody's saying "Hey, where can we put a Subway where people might just happen to show up and be hungry?  Those people sure could do with a sandwich!"  Some person decided to open a Subway because it appeared that enough people would buy sandwiches there that it would make a profit.  The Subway has no other reason to be there.[/quote]

You are just so incredibly strange and angry. [/quote]
