yes it is against the law for a store to close early. IF you catch them doing it then call the police and file a complaint. then you can sue the store and get a good settlement.

Yes, and because they closed early means its not illegal to break in and take what you want. You SHOULD leave money at the register, but if no one is around to run the debit machine or give you change then leave a note.
I heard that you can just Mace them until they get back to work.Originally posted by: waggy

Maybe this person was confused with how some malls have requirements that the stores be open during mall hours. I think there was a pretty big bar/restaurant at the Irvine Spectrum that lost their liquor license. So they basically had no customers but they still had to remain open, costing them a ton of money.

I don't know if it's illegal, but I have heard about what goog40 is talking about. Stores in malls agree to be open at a certain time and close at a certain time. It they open late or close early, then the mall fines the stores. It's part of the stores' lease agreements with the mall.

Great way to take advantage of a flawed system and shove prices higher to cover your settlement.
