Stores should close when their suppose to!!

It's 8:50 pm, the store is closing in 10 minutes and your rushing like crazy to get there hoping to make it in time to buy whatever it is your looking for. You get there with minutes to spare but then you see the sign you didn't want to see: "CLOSED," at this point you look at your watch or cell phone and it says 8:55 pm. How many times has this happen to you? 

What's the point of having store hours if you don't abide by them? This normally happens wih the smaller stores it hardly happens with the big stores like "Wal-Mart" and "Best Buy" but seriously, yeah I understand sometimes business may be slow and everyone wants to go home a little earlier but you can't wait for 5 more minutes before closing up? It's a pain in the ass to think your gonna make it into that store in time to get whatever you need only to get there and find that their closed and the employees are long gone. 

For instance, today I wanted to go to a store to get a nail polish I wanted and I was rushing to get there before they closed. By the time the store was in sight, I knew they had been closed for a while. There weren't any employees in the store cashing out or anything and the store was dark. I walk up to the store to check their business hours and it clearly stated "Fri - Sun 11 - 20:00." I look at my cell and it says "7:55 PM." What's the point of even making store hours if you decide to close whenever you feel like it? 

Sorry for my random rant, but I was pretty disappointed and I think many of you may have had the same experience once or twice.

What is wrong with society?

Why is it that when people see a fight happen instead of trying to break up the fight or find authority they just stand around, record the fight and even cheer for a fight? What is it about fights that make people so interested? 

Your probably wondering why the random post, well today I was downtown at the Eaton Center, I walk out of the store to see a big group of people crowded around something with their phones held up high recording something. My first thought was "is there some famous person here?" but as I walked closer, in the center of the group were two women arguing. Women A was yelling at women B and as women B tried to walk away women A kept going after her, yelling after her and kicking. They had two friends trying to break-up the fight and it somehow got to a point where they were heading outside. Women A then went to make a comment saying "you guys want to see a fight (guys = audience filming), come outside" and the crowd again instead of trying to stop the fight or finding the mall security went to cheer on for the fight so they could have something to film. The fight never happened since the mall security eventually got here and broke up the fight and women A was arrested. 

Is it really that important to have something to put on the internet that people could just stand by and watch two people fight with each other? I really don't get whats wrong with some people these days.
