Closed, without the Down.

Our restaurant is in a quiet quiet street. Maybe in its heyday it was busy, vibrant and a great place for business opportunities. Now, its just a quiet quiet street.

Inquiring-Customer: Oh... I thought you guys had closed down.
Me: No no, we have been opened for the last five years.
Inquiring-Customer: Really?
Me: Yep.
Inquiring-Customer: I drove past not long ago and it looked like you guys had closed down.
Me: When did you come by?
Inquiring-Customer: Oh, I think it was Tuesday afternoon.

We have started closing Tuesday nights since the New Year started. This was so that Our Boss/Owner could get a break from working seven days a week. We had signs up for two months prior to this actually happening. We sent out pamphlets and we gave all customers new pamphlets as well as telling them about it face to face.

Inquiring-Customer: I thought I would call to check. Do you have new owners?
Me: No, its been the same owners for five years.
Inquiring-Customer: Oh, okay.
Me:  Would you like to order anything?
Inquiring-Customer: Ummm.... I'll just call back later. Just wanted to know if you were still opened.
Me: Yep, still opened, like we have been for the past five years.

This has happened more than once and sometimes its not even about Tuesdays...
