text: Today I decided to get in my car and try a new place for lunch. I was originally headed for La Paloma, but when I walked in all of the chairs were up on the tables. Having been in food service at one time I hate to go in right at closing so I decided to go elsewhere, though they assured me it was no problem. The time is 3:20. \n\nIn the same strip mall I spot Hamburger Haven. Their sign says OPEN, they have no hours posted, but there are people inside. I decide to try it out. I walk in to order and wait while another group gets its food then commences to ask for a bunch of little items that keep the guy busy running back and forth. He finally got around to asking me what I wanted. Not friendly, maybe a little annoyed. I order the food. I can see the guy cooking grumble in the back. I'm thinking to myself, \"what's so hard about a cheeseburger and onion rings?\" I am not feeling welcome. \n\nThe food came out. Not bad at all. Nothing great, fried stuff, but decent all the same. I'm sitting there eating, trying to tell myself the bad vibes are my imagination when a third guy appears behind the counter. He looks out at the people in the restaurant, frowns a little, then marches to the front door to flip off the OPEN sign. Ah, they were closed I guess. I suppose that is why the employees seemed annoyed. \n\nI have an idea for this place. If you want to close at a certain time post a sign with your hours. Also, remember to turn off the OPEN sign. Finally, if you don't want to serve someone just let them know. It will probably annoy them, but they might try you again in the future. With thousands of restaurants in the city life is too short to put up with an attitude of any kind.
