This can backfire with some customers. One guy called before closing on a Saturday and begged me to stick around to sell him some parts for a race the next day. I did so, stayed about an hour total for the smallish sale to help the guy out, and the same guy broke into the store one night a couple of weeks later and stole a bike.
