‘These people baffle me’: Server asks customers to leave five minutes before restaurant's closing time, they reluctantly comply, only for server to get reprimanded for their actions

Various restaurants have different policies when it comes to their closing time. Let us explain–say closing time is at 11 PM; Some restaurants will close and clean up the place at 10 PM and refuse customers coming in during that last hour; Other restaurants will wait until it is 11 PM sharp to close and will accept any customer who comes in by then; Then you have the restaurants that take the middle approach, where they subtly start closing up at 10 PM, praying no other customer arrives, but if they do, they will serve them until they eventually leave. 

Dealing with customers who come in at the very last minute is something every server dreads, since it is never a pleasant experience. For some reason, those customers love to take their time, have no respect for the people who serve them, and never leave without putting up a fight.

At least, that is what the server in the story below felt like they had to deal with when a whole family arrived at 10:15 PM and stayed seated until they were eventually asked to leave.
