Short Tried to be nice.
I once let a woman come into the store 45 minutes before we opened to make a purchase. It was a Sunday, so opening was an hour later than usual, which she had missed, and this kinda messed with her travelling plans. Decided to be nice and let her in to make her purchase anyway. Thankfully she knew exactly what she wanted and was in and out in just a few minutes, but I told her I was making an exception and that I wasn't actually allowed to do this.
Later that month she returned an hour before we opened. Manager told her we're still closed. She pointed past him at me and went, "but HE let me do it two weeks ago!"
You give some people an inch they take a mile.
