One former employee made this announcement one night. “Ladies and gentlemen xxxx will be closing in five minutes. Please take your final purchases to the register, and thank you for shoplifting at xxx.”
I wrote a comedy skit about a “speaking clock” service. To save money, they only had one message: “At the sound of the tone it will be exactly midnight.” Some people waited half an hour.
I was once a night manager in a pizza parlor. One night I forgot to announce last call. At about 5 minutes before closing a guy ordered a beer. I apologized that I couldn’t serve him because it was too close to closing time. He made an angry eloquent speech about the evil and incompetence he was being forced to endure from sub humans like me. I took a step back and let him go till he ran out of steam. When he finished some of the people seated nearby applauded. The woman he came with was at a table across the room trying to look invisible. I didn’t give him the beer.

Give him a chance. He had his rehearsal and got the lines down. Now he just needs to work a little (okay, okay, a lot) on his timing.
