It's not the economy, stupid!
Today was warm in tha area, and quite a few people showed up at the local Mexican joint to have a taste of summer in the evening, on the patio by the water.

The restaurant stupidly closes at 9pm, and barely after 8pm they were turning customers away as they didn't have enough waiters left on duty (even though neither the patio nor the room was full)

Based on the number of customers they turned away, I'd guess that thye missed several hundred dollars of sales just in the 10 minutes that they had us waiting.

Next time, plan better, and you'll be helping the economy!

Well, when i was travelling the USA a few years ago this phenomenon irritated me all the time. Most restaurants closed at silly early times. As you described, many closed at 9pm...
For me - as an european - this was simply ?!?!? WTF? Are they nuts??
