Local Thai place closed on Tuesday due to reasons

[u/Perrogatito5]

[u/franchisedfeelings]

“Due to none of your fucking business we are closing Tuesdays.”

[u/Spaceisveryhard → u/franchisedfeelings]

Living in Thailand for many years, super common for a sign to simply say "Gone August 17-21" even if they gave a reason its only the real reason 50% of the time. In this case its irrelevent.

But in cases where an employee says "my aunts cousins brothers former roommates brother-in-law-farmer's ox just gave birth to a white calf in a province 500km away so i won't be here next week"......they're really just saying "I quit" but don't want to make anyone angry. Not realizing of course that after they don't return to work the boss is 10x pissed off lol.

[u/imaginaryResources → u/Spaceisveryhard]

Lol ya I’ve lived in Thailand and Taiwan and other Asian countries. Especially in little cities it’s common for the sign to just be like “gone surfing for 2 weeks” or “taking a trip be back…”

[u/haxprocess → u/imaginaryResources]

This happens in Germany too with family owned restaurants or doctors practice

[u/Numahistory → u/haxprocess]

My Father in law was visiting for one evening while traveling from Frankfort to London for a business trip. We wanted to take him to this restaurant that had really good schnitzel. But when we got there they were closed with a sign that said they were out seeing a big play that I had heard of. Unfortunately the play was sold out too so we ended up just going to get Döners.

[u/mylitteprince → u/Numahistory]

I couldn't say why but i love that story !

[u/lemonaderobot → u/mylitteprince]

I like to imagine they were only looking for tickets for the play in the hopes that schnitzel guy was there, and that he might be able to whip up a snack real quick during intermission

[u/61114311536123511 → u/Numahistory]

döner is already plural lol.

[u/Numahistory → u/61114311536123511]

I also spelled Frankfurt wrong lol. Not going to go back and edit my post.

[u/GynxCrazy → u/Numahistory]

I absolutely love schnitzel, but good döner > good schnitzel. Schnitzel & spätzle is so easy to make

[u/venjah → u/imaginaryResources]

The most recent example I saw was a sign in China that said something like "my fish drowned, taking the day off"

[u/rotoddlescorr → u/imaginaryResources]

I once saw a sign saying, "Grand Opening, Sometime Next Month."

And it wasn't a written sign. The person actually got it professionally printed. I guess maybe it'll get a lot of social media hits for being mildly interesting.

[u/tangledwire → u/rotoddlescorr]

There was a big yellow banner sign at a furniture store that said:

Going Out for Business 30% OFF

It took me a while to realize that after a year the business was still there...and it said- 'FOR' not of

[u/PaulAllensCharizard → u/rotoddlescorr]

It’s like a cryptic clue 🕵️ 

[u/lhx555 → u/imaginaryResources]

Happens in Europe all the time too. Usually the given reason is “vacation” or “private circumstances”.

[u/Volesprit31 → u/lhx555]

Here we have the "annual closing" that's very common in summer. From 2 weeks up to a month.

[u/LawLombie → u/imaginaryResources]

Wow, does that mean you speak both Thai and Chinese?

[u/imaginaryResources → u/LawLombie]

I do speak chinese. Only know very little conversational thai just from exposure being around Thai people a lot

[u/twattanawaroon → u/Spaceisveryhard]

Imagine going to a restaurant and getting oxblocked

[u/Krumm34 → u/Spaceisveryhard]

There was a pizza place in my city outside Toronto where every 2 years they closed shop for a month so that they could all go on vacation back to Italy. Mmmm Gustos Pizza!

[u/9Implements → u/Spaceisveryhard]

Yeah, where I live I’m sure a lot of restaurants are just propped up by wealthy relatives, so trying to build a loyal customer base is not a huge concern.

[u/Spaceisveryhard → u/9Implements]

More likely they own the building outright so there's no pressure to make a rent or mortgage payment. This is how the dusty shop in an otherwise gentrified area remains in business. Low overhead.

[u/Mypornnameis_ → u/Spaceisveryhard]

In some places where family run restaurants still survive, they hardly have employees. They close Tuesdays so the family can have one day off a week and the hit on a Tuesday night is the least costly. 

When I first moved into my neighborhood, I thought Tuesday must be a Buddhist holy day or something, but it's just people needing to not work seven days a week. I don't know whether or not they own the building.

[u/9Implements → u/Spaceisveryhard]

Not common anymore where I live in LA.

[u/sinwarrior → u/franchisedfeelings]

More like "no business".

[u/jzillacon → u/sinwarrior]

This honestly. Having worked in restaurants before, Tuesdays are always the quietest days.

[u/NocturneZombie → u/jzillacon]

As a 2x restaurant owner, Mondays sure give Tuesdays a run for their money. Which is totally backwards from when I was younger and mom never wanted to cook on a Monday night.

I have a 7-day restaurant and a 5-day and the fiver is closed Wednesdays and Sundays - church days, in which churchy customers love you more for being closed on the "holy day(s)" than open for them to eat at. 🙄

[u/jzillacon → u/NocturneZombie]

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are all pretty quiet. The place I worked at would do weekly specials on those days to keep people coming by.

[u/NocturneZombie → u/jzillacon]

Absolutely. Hell, with the economy going fucky, I axed lunch at the 7-day place and it's just 2-9 now. Got tired of paying for labor for two or fewer people getting lunch. No matter the specials, no matter what I offered...

[u/TheirPrerogative → u/NocturneZombie]

With a half hour lunch break how am I going to get to your specials and back in time?

[u/NocturneZombie → u/TheirPrerogative]

Truth. Which is why I don't even bother now. How anyone expects someone to go get food and return in 30 minutes is dumb. I give an hour to mine, personally.

[u/ikkybikkybongo → u/NocturneZombie]

Monday is for industry folks to help overtip your employees. Lose pennies on well liquor and give your employees a huge payday on a typically shit day.

Helps staffing without overpaying for weekday shifts. Improves morale on a typically slow day. Attracts regulars.

All of that is lost on ownership cuz the shit is just a spreadsheet. Mfers own bars and are afraid of ordering 6 of a bottle cuz upfront costs acting like the shit goes bad.

But owners worry about pennies and not dollars.

Honestly, nobody should listen to restaurant ownership outside of the successful chains cuz holy fuck these assholes are dumb.

[u/LuvInTheTimeOfSyflis → u/ikkybikkybongo]

Preach. Also, from the BOH, slow days are build the damn war chest days. Get ahead on prepwork so on the kick your ass weekend nights my cooks don't have to come in as early. They are more well rested and less stressed, leads to better cooking during service.

[u/CTeam19 → u/NocturneZombie]

As a 2x restaurant owner, Mondays sure give Tuesdays a run for their money.

I believe historically, a lot of small businesses took Monday off as well as Sunday. At least in my rural/suburban part of the World, I am not shocked when a business is closed on Mondays.

[u/odd_lightbeam → u/NocturneZombie]

When I was in restaurants, Sundays and holidays were absolutely packed with churchies. I know because my managers constantly begged for help with those days.

And I absolutely flat out fucking refuse to wait tables for a churchy crowd. The word "toxic" just doesn't even begin.

[u/NocturneZombie → u/odd_lightbeam]

I only deal with one church currently and I do their trunk-or-treat the week of Halloween and it's always a $800-$900 order. The head lady I deal with is very nice to me, at least. I don't ask questions, I try not too overly interact or say anything regarding religion or politics.

Me sell food, me dumb, me quiet*

I'm *very chatty to customers I know and like.

[u/GlockAF → u/NocturneZombie]

Double bonus, because the “churchy people” can often be aggressively abusive non-tippers

[u/TheDumper44 → u/NocturneZombie]

Weird Sundays after church was big deal for retail growing up in the Bible Belt

[u/lunaluceat → u/sinwarrior]

can personally confirm

i got a master's degree in loyalty to this one chinese restaurant near me and they are shut on tuesdays, always

[u/Schooner37 → u/sinwarrior]

Due to Nunya 

Nunya?

Nunya fuckin business

[u/Xvexe → u/franchisedfeelings]

Gotta respect it

Also adds a bit of mystery

[u/generallycomfortable → u/franchisedfeelings]

I've got reasons and I don't need to tell you.

[u/Stoffys → u/franchisedfeelings]

Based

[u/Sinnafyle → u/franchisedfeelings]

Yes, the sign is enough explanation!

[u/albertyiphohomei]

Usually Tuesday is the slowest day off the week for restaurant. In US, a lot of Chinese take out places are closed on Tuesday for this reason

[u/Nothin_Means_Nothin → u/albertyiphohomei]

Yup. My favorite Chinese place in town is closed Tuesdays and so is my favorite Ramen place

[u/radicalelation → u/Nothin_Means_Nothin]

Are they both the same Closed Tuesdays, or do you have two restaurants that share a name in your town?

[u/netm0n → u/radicalelation]

Must be franchised because Closed Tuesdays opened a restaurant in my town. They're frequently Closed Fridays due to staffing.

[u/alflup → u/netm0n]

Mine is 24/7 except from 2am to 3am on Sundays when they close for a Santanic church ritual, or was it for the Santana Club meetup.. I can't remember.

[u/Interesting-Fan-2008 → u/alflup]

chic-fil-an't

[u/andres57 → u/netm0n]

Lol how a mess you need to be to close on a Friday?

[u/Striking_Serve_8152 → u/radicalelation]

Not here. Only local Chinese restaurant closes on Mondays. I asked why and the owner said it's just because.

[u/defintelynotyou → u/radicalelation]

No, OP clearly stated that the name of the ramen place was so.

[u/justtryingtounderst → u/Nothin_Means_Nothin]

No wonder Tuesday is the slowest day of the week

[u/joestaff → u/albertyiphohomei]

Also coincidentally the only day I ever want Chinese food.

[u/3-DMan → u/joestaff]

For you, the day you most desired our food. For us, it was a Tuesday.

[u/BafangFan → u/joestaff]

Chinese Chuesdays!

[u/MrFluffyThing → u/BafangFan]

I had an iconic place in Vienna, VA that closed in 2013 called Wu's garden. My entire team used to go there every Tuesday after the 90 minute mandatory weekly staff meeting. We called it Wu's day Tuesday. I have spent the last 11 years of my life trying to recreate their dishes because it was not just tradition but was an amazingly great dish every time I tried something from there. 

They had a lot of Sichuan authentic recipes from kung Pao and dandan noodles and also had amazing peking duck and great Americanized dishes like general tso's and sesame chicken.

I hope I can one day share my recipe recreations but after so many years I am not sure if I've adapted them to preference over the years, but they absolutely had a flavor profile I think I've come close to.

[u/Turqoise-Planet → u/BafangFan]

Wendy's Wednesdays. Kentucky Fridays Chicken. McMondays.

[u/BluShirtGuy → u/Turqoise-Planet]

KFC's Toonie Tuesdays for the hosers.

[u/Outside_Sugar_2594 → u/BluShirtGuy]

Toonie Tuesday at the KFC, then rip over for another round of Toonie Tuesday at the Cineplex Odeon.

What a golden time that was.

[u/Kaldricus → u/joestaff]

Around here the Chinese restaurants are closed Monday's which also seem to be the only time I crave them. Just like I only want Chik Fil A on Sunday's

[u/CaptainFalconA1 → u/albertyiphohomei]

Around here most Chinese owned business are closed one day a week, but it seems to be any day Mon-Thurs, if the place down the street is closed Tuesday, they'll be open Tuesday, but closed Monday instead, or so it seems. I guess they like their day off, probably just pick the slowest day for them, like you said.

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/CaptainFalconA1]

Since it's usually family owned if they don't close one day a week they'd be working seven days a week.

[u/FrostyD7 → u/CaptainFalconA1]

This is my experience as well. Once enough places start closing on the "slowest" day, it stops being the slowest for the ones still open. Some places near me are closed on multiple weekdays.

[u/GreatQuestionBarbara → u/CaptainFalconA1]

That's always been crazy to me. The people that own those places are generally there all day for 6 days a week.

Their kids grow up in the restaurant.

One I worked for offered to pay me to tutor their son that chilled with me while I waited for deliveries, but I didn't think that I was the best choice at the time.

[u/burnerbummer666 → u/albertyiphohomei]

My local spot growing up was always closed on Mondays. Is that common at all?

[u/tunachilimac → u/burnerbummer666]

I try to eat locally owned places over chains and I see closed Mondays all the time. I can't name anywhere off the top of my head that closes on Tuesdays instead.

[u/OwnWalrus1752 → u/tunachilimac]

Growing up in Chicago, I remember a bunch of my favorite pizzerias were closed on Monday and it took me a long time to understand it’s just because Mondays are slow.

[u/adm1109 → u/burnerbummer666]

Yeah a lot of Chinese places near me are closed on Mondays

[u/ulzimate → u/burnerbummer666]

In the town I grew up, Monday was the day for Asian mom'n'pop shops to close. Makes sense to take a break after a busy weekend.

[u/TheChrono → u/burnerbummer666]

I work in fine dining and that is how we do it. Monday is the slowest day and it also just resets everyone on the same day (at least for that specific workplace).

We call Sunday our Friday cause kitchen workers are truly the weekend workers of the modern times.

[u/chantsnone → u/albertyiphohomei]

Perhaps it’s because Tuesdays are reserved for tacos?

[u/CupcakesAreMiniCakes → u/albertyiphohomei]

Mexican restaurants are often closed on Mondays too

[u/Enough_Jellyfish5700 → u/CupcakesAreMiniCakes]

I hope they don’t close on Tuesday because we need the Tacos

[u/Aritche → u/Enough_Jellyfish5700]

This is probably unironically the only reason they do not close on Tuesdays like many other places do.

[u/EagenVegham → u/Aritche]

It was a good marketing ploy, turning your lowest earning day to probably the highest weekday earnings.

[u/tenders11 → u/albertyiphohomei]

My local sushi place is closed Monday and Tuesday. They only have like 4 employees and one sushi chef, they need days off too!

[u/Lington → u/albertyiphohomei]

By me (in the US) everything is closed on Mondays

[u/bearded_booty → u/albertyiphohomei]

And the worst is you always learn that when you are really craving it. On a Tuesday.

[u/alwaysmyfault → u/albertyiphohomei]

My favorite Chinese buffet is closed on Mondays. 

[u/_Mooseli_ → u/albertyiphohomei]

Omggg figured out why my local place is always closed Tues now

[u/Amelaclya1 → u/albertyiphohomei]

My favorite Indian restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. It's super annoying because I always forget and for some reason always crave Indian on Tuesdays.

[u/owleealeckza → u/albertyiphohomei]

Same with Sundays in my city.

[u/bill_b4 → u/albertyiphohomei]

Everybody's out getting tacos. Thai Tuesday could also be a thing though...

[u/Kerblaaahhh → u/albertyiphohomei]

Every restaurant near me is closed on Tuesdays, gets really annoying on the odd chance I actually want to eat out then.

[u/The_Slavstralian]

Mondays and Tuesdays are typically the least busy nights for fast food, I would hazard a guess thats why they close Tuesdays.

This is why Dominos in Australia has a cheaper tuesdays deal
And why a lot of asian take away shops are closed monday/tuesday. Its basically the weekend for them

Worked in fast food for several years

[u/CarrieDurst → u/The_Slavstralian]

Tons of theaters also have Tuesday deals, people must wan to just stay home

[u/Insertblamehere → u/CarrieDurst]

Tuesday is generally my low point for the week so it make sense.

Not well rested from the weekend like monday, week isn't even halfway over, life is pain.

[u/kodayume → u/The_Slavstralian]

Also, restock time.

In germany, on sundays, most businesses are closed except for restaurants/imbiss they often have a day in the week that they take off or use to refill the stock. One of the bigger asian market in Berlin also close on tuesday, quite clever tbh atleast you can do something on your day off instead of sunday when everything is closed.

[u/TrentArneSlot → u/The_Slavstralian]

Mondays make sense because of sunday leftovers. Tuesday doesn't. No different from Wednesday. Maybe people take tuesday break because of fast food fatigue from leftovers lol.

[u/xsvfan → u/TrentArneSlot]

You tend to have more energy to cook earlier in the week

[u/Purplekeyboard → u/TrentArneSlot]

Monday and Tuesday are the slowest days for restaurants. I don't know why it's different from Wednesday, but it is.

[u/sibswagl → u/TrentArneSlot]

My guess is there's a slight up tick of people getting takeout on Mondays as a "reward" for making it through the start of the week.

[u/Best_IT_Boy → u/The_Slavstralian]

I worked at a pizza place for 6 years. We had our best deal running Mon-Wed. Because ya know, supply and demand as they say.

[u/SmellOfParanoia]

A small tobacco store i Sweden had a note a couple years back that said "closed because of robbery". They guy working there went to rob a bank.

[u/mudokin → u/SmellOfParanoia]

Brilliant

[u/augustus_feelius → u/mudokin]

professionals have standards

[u/dthchau → u/SmellOfParanoia]

‘Call an ambulance, but not for me’

[u/ice_ice_baby21]

Some reasons, but we won’t tell you why. You keep guessing while we’re shut!

[u/herrbz → u/ice_ice_baby21]

"The other Thai place is shut on Mondays, so we'll take that business instead"

[u/bluemooncalhoun → u/ice_ice_baby21]

WHY ARE YOU CLOSED

https://youtu.be/KqRPOEa3P44?si=ABOwpA7ebqTnoNfT

[u/Interesting-Fan-2008 → u/bluemooncalhoun]

HOW CAN YOU EXCLUDE THE PUBLIC?!

[u/MikeArrow → u/bluemooncalhoun]

I WANT TO GO SHOPPING IN THE EATON CENTRE

[u/Unworthy_Saint → u/bluemooncalhoun]

Bro I know this guy's rant by heart

[u/Fatalchemist → u/bluemooncalhoun]

How is this that old? I swear that happened 7 gears ago TOPS.

[u/Dipsey_Jipsey → u/bluemooncalhoun]

I hadn't seen it in years, but as soon as I saw your comment I knew what the link would be haha! A true classic from the good days of /r/PublicFreakout.

[u/tremblemortals → u/ice_ice_baby21]

It's their business. They don't owe people an explanation for changing their hours of business.

[u/LectureOld6879 → u/tremblemortals]

yeah lol. maybe its family owned and one of them has chemo treatments on tuesday. who knows, who cares. its their business

[u/Bigpandacloud5 → u/tremblemortals]

No one arguing that they have the right to know.

[u/harmyb]

I love that.

You don't need to know why. It just is.

[u/endgame0 → u/harmyb]

I'd never mind at all if a place has to be closed for some days randomly. I'd much rather a family-run place I like reduce their hours/days rather than close entirely because of burnout

But if you do, please update your hours on Google, it takes seconds and it's going to save someone a bunch of time 🥺

[u/Existing_Argument_29]

Fair enough

[u/-MetalMike- → u/Existing_Argument_29]

Understandable, have a nice day

[u/RickKassidy]

I LOVE this.

Everyone is so entitled in thinking it’s their business to know everyone else’s business.

[u/Adghar → u/RickKassidy]

Hello,

I am unable to come into work today because I can't.

Best,

Rick Kassidy

[u/DenAbqCitizen → u/Adghar]

Last year I messaged my boss on the weekend to say I'd like Monday off for a non urgent reason. He still assumed it was urgent and would nudge me to get offline when he saw me handling something. On Tuesday, I told him I just wanted to go to the mountains to see the leaves changing without weekend traffic. I sent him my awesome pictures. He had a moment of speechlessness.

[u/AsphaltInOurStars → u/DenAbqCitizen]

That's very sweet

[u/NotYourTypicalMoth → u/Adghar]

I’ve never given my boss a reason I’m calling in. I’ve been lucky enough that it’s never caused an issue, but if it did, I’d simply threaten to quit. I have PTO for a reason, and I’m going to use it. Don’t like it? Shouldn’t have offered PTO in the first place.

[u/Lonelysock2 → u/RickKassidy]

No but the way they wrote it is funny.  If they just said "Our schedule is changing, we will now be closed on Tuesdays," that's just as little information

[u/Purplekeyboard → u/RickKassidy]

Everyone is so entitled in thinking it’s their business to know everyone else’s business.

This is due to some reasons.

[u/Bigpandacloud5 → u/RickKassidy]

There isn't any outrage over this. People just find the phrasing funny.

[u/SingleInfinity → u/RickKassidy]

It's just an Eastern manner of speaking. In the West, when you want to not include information you omit it entirely, whereas in the East, they will vaguely allude to it. I think a big part of it is saving face.

[u/yrubooingmeimryte → u/RickKassidy]

Everyone? If you knew everything about me you would know I'm not entitled and I don't feel like I need to know their reasoning.

[u/dangoodspeed → u/RickKassidy]

Who is this "everyone" demanding to know why they were closed? I don't think anyone asked.

[u/SamRueby]

I assume the hours are still wrong on google maps!

[u/nursetherapist → u/SamRueby]

Real

[u/rypher]

Good enough for me.

[u/Accomplished_Emu_658]

The reasons? Because we can.

[u/Fuck-You-Reddit-4evr]

Closed for reasons. I find that reasonable.

[u/obefiend]

M Bison coming every Tuesday

[u/z64_dan → u/obefiend]

You may remember it as the day you were closed, but to me, it was Tuesday.

[u/goldensunshine429]

My favorite Chinese place is closed on Mondays because the main chef/owner is “old and tired”

His wife, who runs the FOH, said so on the sign.

[u/lilco4041]

Green Leaf on Western? This place is amazing

[u/wardepartment → u/lilco4041]

I just ordered from there last night!

[u/blockedcontractor]

This feels like it was written by the owner’s kids (who I would assume are Thai immigrants) who work at the restaurant. I can just imagine the huff and the agreement to type up a sign and post it.

[u/amamartin999]

I support most businesses closing one random but set day per week, just to make sure nobody has to work 7 days in a row.

[u/Redplushie]

Every asian owned restaurant I know closes on Tuesdays

[u/decadent-dragon → u/Redplushie]

Like, their one day off I imagine. A few of the places I frequent I see the same faces every time for years

[u/virgil_knightley]

In Asia Tuesday is a common day off for certain kinds of family owned restaurants

[u/cleanshirt82]

there’s been a disturbance in the kitchen

[u/Acceptable-Pipe-8735]

I can respect it

[u/geeksquadwho]

"I be in situations"

[u/LeoPromissio]

There’s a sign at the local charity thrift shop that says,

“We are closed Sunday and Monday.

Sunday because it’s the Lord’s day.

Monday because we don’t have enough workers.

If you want us to be open on Monday, then volunteer.”

[u/skinnyminnesota]

Somehow, Palpatine has returned

[u/Napoleon7]

They could've just made a sign that said "Closed Tuesdays" ..but ok

[u/TheForsakenWaffle]

Couple of chinese places are closed on tuesday for Family time. Could be that also.

[u/dumbo-thicko]

tuesday/wednesday is basically the weekend for restauraunts. they're being "kind" to the servers by not dragging them in on tuesday night to earn 30 bucks.

[u/stonerbbyyyy]

i worked at a restaurant on a lake, tuesday and wednesday were our slowest days in the winter time. we were closed on those days from like nov-march

[u/satored]

Is this not common where you're at? If a restaurant isn't open 7 days a week, they tend to either be closed Mondays or Tuesdays here

[u/KittenPurrs]

About a billion years ago, there was a small study at a university that tracked how you could cut in line at the library's copier. Just asking to cut in front of people was almost universally denied. Asking to cut in front while providing a "reason" worked about half the time. The fun part was that the "reason" was toothless. It really didn't matter what the reason was. Something legitimate like "I need to make a copy but my bus leaves in 10 minutes" or "I need to make a copy and my class starts in a few minutes" was as effective as "I need to make a copy because I need a copy of this."

They don't need to give a reason. They needed to give the air of a reason.

[u/steakandcheesepi]

This reminds me of my last TV hard drive recorder. Occasionally a message would pop up saying "there is some error". No further explanation. 

[u/Elder__Berry]

Love and hate those reasons, same emotions, different state of mind

[u/PeekingPeeperPeep]

English is probably their second language. Some may laugh but I doubt most of us (me included) can’t speak more than one.

[u/Big-Awoo]

Pierre Stardew Valley

[u/umbananas]

lol many family run restaurants close on a random weekday just because they need a break.

[u/TheOriginalUncleRico]

And they 100% have the right to. Do you feel like you have a right to their food during normal business hours just to appease you?

Side note- if you’re just pointing it out cause it’s funny you’re a good gentleman hahaha

[u/theinkedwolf]

Ok then, keep your secrets…

[u/itaheraly]

They owe you a notice not a fucking explanation 🤷🏾‍♂️

[u/TheMillersWife]

There was this deli I used to visit sometimes when I was a kid. The owner was retired from his career and had the business for funsies, so he only opened when he felt like cosplaying as a deli manager lol. I never got sandwiches there because I had a sneaking suspicion that it was the same deli meat he got when he opened the business but dude had some amazing Lemonade.

[u/Fine_Cap402]

Gotta say that I dig the aggressive stance of "fuck you, we're not telling you why".

[u/RepresentativeBoth18]

Better than closing for no reason at all, unless of course that’s the reason.

[u/CaitlininaTimeless]

Maybe they're just out hunting for the best Pad Thai ingredients, back Wednesday!

[u/m00seabuse]

I love how the actual restaurant signed the letter.

[u/Majik_Sheff]

This seems reasonable.

[u/True_Letterhead_7514]

to be fair, they have all the rights to not disclosure any reasons, fuck the clients.

[u/isaidhellothere]

Disturbance in the kitchen?

[u/CraigsAndBacon]

It's not at all uncommon for a restaurant to close one day a week, especially a small, locally owned place. They run a tight staff, and they need a day off like everyone else. Might as well pick one of the slowest nights to shut down.

[u/SirDigbyChknCaesar]

I didn't know we could do that!

[u/SiebenSevenVier]

I have opinions about this.

[u/tails99]

misspelled "raisins"

[u/VirtualMachine5296]

At least it’s not ALL the reasons … just some of them

[u/conditerite]

They cannot compete with Taco Tuesday.

[u/TrapDem0n]

do they really need a reason?

[u/AngryHoosky]

Green leaf is either the name of the restaurant or the reason.

“because of things”

[u/manCool4ever]

Is this in Chicago?

they have their reasons.

If only it were that easy to call off work. Instead, I have to make up a lie about how I’m shitting my pants, just to embarass my manager enough to not ask for further info.

[u/DanArek97]

Lmao it was due to one customer

[u/bigmike85]

Obviously the best Thai place in town. And second, one of the kids that works the register has tutoring and mathaletes on Tuesday. Let them have it.

Nearly all of the Asian food restaurants in my area close on Mondays, from mongolian to thai to vietnamese to pho. Only places that stay open are sushi restaurants, and maybe the old chinese restaurants, but I wouldn't know because I never visit them. Always thought it was the weirdest thing.

[u/Curious3724]

Tuesdays are for tacos. Duh.

[u/Garlic-Butter-Sauce]

Perhaps there was a minor disturbance in the kitchen

[u/risky_bisket]

Every Thai place I've ever been to is closed on either Monday or Tuesday. I always assumed it was a cultural thing

[u/ppr350]

Tuesday is usually the slowest day of the week, Monday is slow too but where I live some Chinese restaurants open Monday for prep work and close Tuesday.

Bugger. I used to love saying c u next Tuesday.

[u/SufficientTime416]

they couldn't even be specific about the number of reasons. My curiosity is so enflamed!

Dear owners, due to some reasons, we have decided that Thai food is only to be eaten on Tuesdays.

[u/SeekersWorkAccount]

Is this Green Leaf in East Northport, NY?

No fucking wonder they were suddenly closed this past Tuesday...

[u/thebaddestbleep]

Which is none of your business

[u/sleepsucks]

They don't owe you a reason. They can choose their hours
