The Closing Shift 

..........*REALIZATION*

The baby was there the first time you meet her when she jumpscares you though.

@@Mant111 Yeah, but almost naked, at night, in winter.

coryxkenshin did aswell

@@Mant111 You clearly didn't pay attention to what he just said, when she comes into the shop later, the baby is not in the pram, so it stands to reason that the child died of hypothermia based on the previous encounter that you just mentioned. The sniffling explains why she has the empty pram, denial.

I was 15 and they let me close by myself. I had some traumatizing interactions waiting outside in the dark on the concert because I wasn’t allowed to wait inside.

Most of the restaurants I worked had a policy where you couldn’t take out the trash/leave out the back door at night for safety, we just put the garbage next to the front doors for morning shift to throw out, and I’ve never had to close alone at night they always had two closers one of them usually being a manager or at least a shift lead.

You're very lucky. I once called out my old manager for having two 16 yrs old girls closing by themselves and how horribly unsafe that was, and she fired me for it. 🫠

no one underage should be closing stores, much less on their own, 16yos are still kids, even someone at 18 should have someone older/more experienced with them. Going to take this a step further and say underaged workers shouldn't work alone ever.

imo, this is less about luck or privilege, and more about it being a travesty that most people don't have that safety. it should be mandatory to protect and check in on your employees like this.

"sanpei" 😂

Honestly. I work as a barista and we had a customer who ordered her drink, we told her the price at the window, she kinda shrugged it off and then drove to the second window. Handed the drink out and she goes "$7 for this?" And basically just refused to take it or pay for it. It's sometimes frustrating because our company is not known for making inexpensive drinks in the slightest, but people still get mad at the baristas about it.

@@aimeemonnett2293 Sometimes the inexpensive drinks taste better than the expensive ones imo

@@NuggieIsMissing oh absolutely! I feel like the biggest thing about it is the brand name- people will pay out the ass for a popular brand.

@@aimeemonnett2293 Like even the cheap caramel Frappuccino at McDonald’s is better than Starbucks XD. It’s sweeter and has more of a shake consistency which makes it even better

@@NuggieIsMissing Yeah but half the time they can't find even though its in front of them. I used to work for Dollar General and boy some of the people there would either one try to discribe what they wanted but end up discribing something else and two would be pissy about why we didn't have that perticular item in stock or three get absoutly mad at you for no reason what so ever even with refunds.

omg.

yeah, and when you get out of the bus you can see that the stalker is staring into your soul as the bus rides away

oh my god NOOOOOOOO I DIDN'T SEE THAT

Bro.. Im gonna play that and see for myself that is scary as hell

I didnt notice!!!! I feel like most scary things went over my head cause i was too afraid of whats gonna happen next

I'm really sorry you have to go through something like this, and I really hope the creep will get taken care of and no harm comes to you

i feel you. i used to work at a starbucks, i had proof of someone harassing and stalking me even at work, and management said they couldn’t do anything because he hadn’t laid a hand on me or said it in the store when they were around. it truly is the scariest feeling, someone watching you constantly. i wish you the best of luck

@@leelu2753 damn, that sux that you even have that idea. Shame no one can talk to these guys 🤛 😈

My old boss always let us conceal carry. Get a gun. If you are too young, or in a state that makes it difficult to carry a gun, carry a knife.

some men can get so lonely, any kindness shown from the opposite sex is amplified due to their high sensitivity from not having received any female attention. if they're mentally ill and obsessive it can turn them into threatening stalkers. *loneliness and mental illnesses go in hand.* not worth the risk at all, unfortunately you must learn the slight differences in your vocal tone and facial expressions. avoid eye contact, seem a bit aloof yet still attentive enough to receive orders without disrespect, etc. in other words, don't overly be welcoming to the man. imo all women should carry forms of self-defense, it boggles my mind how in some countries like the UK, a mere pepper spray is illegal.

Me too man, I feel like you’re the only person who’s said that so far

I hated that....

I noticed that too

I don’t get it?

@@Penelope_thing she’s being ra-ed. It actually started at 1:04:00

yes... the animalistic noises make it QUITE clear in a truly sick and scary way. The scene always makes me mad/fearful. Its well done, the game's laser focus on how damn scary it is to just try and live your simple daily life when you are seen as something to prey upon.

i never realized thats what that was... holy shit...

it sounds like a flippin rubber duck

or when she goes unconscious in the store, we hear the backroom lights buzzing, but she still wakes up in her home. absolutely terrifying.

THAT WAS A RAPE SCENE???

pls i need the time stamp

nvm i found it, 8:12

Mark was just like; ``Well shit, guess I'll die.``

@@dominikadomjan2780 obob

That also scared the LIVING SHIT out of me

Exactly. There were multiple people that you thought could be the "bad guy". But, they're just another creep.

my mind skipped the word "creepy" in that sentence and I fully agreed regardless XD

That's me in general towards almost everyone I don't know.

OMG ME!

@@n4t39 Yeah man. Everytime a customer went in the building. I thought bro your scary. But then we see on the train ride, the guy looking back. He is not the stalker. He was was looking at the real stalker. Who was behind the girl. Which we can get a glimpse of if we turn back to look at him after the bus ride through the window as it drives away. Giving more fear of people are creepy. But really their hiding the real creepy ones. Which makes a perfect mix for a horror element and game. It's so real.

Çoğu bileklik asla aldatmaca değildir bazıları gerçekten insanları koruyor ve kolluyor bu hepsi için geçerli değildir lütfen bir dahakine önyargılı davranmayalım thankssss

That’s fucking awful, I’m a 4’9 Latina girl so I’m always watching my back because I know I’m clearly an easy target since I’m so small. I’m considering getting one of those extendable batons for protection because I’m just personally uncomfortable with potentially having a taser or g*n. Plus, those things can still do a lot of damage and decent whack would probably make someone think twice about messing with me.

@@gabbykabins4333 you should reconsider atleast the taser, it's better to have something that doesn't take alot if force to use, and you can still use it as long as both your arms aren't constrained, even if you are grabbed, or something like a knife that can break the skin and cause more damge easily

Boo hoo

Can you carry in your state?

If owning and open or concealed carrying a gun is legal in your state, I highly recommend getting one. It's worst case scenario, but if something does happen then you'll have a much better chance of deterring someone from attacking, or stopping an active attacker. A taser is better if you aren't comfortable with guns or the idea of shooting someone, and *most* people will be incapacitated when they get tased. Pepper spray is also effective, although its less desirable since the attacker could be wearing goggles or a mask of some sort that would make pepper spray much less effective.

Went looking for this comment

I don't miss delivering to the ghetto at 2 AM with no porch lights on or house numbers for blocks. I also don't miss people trying to get in my car while I'm pulling away from a house, or sitting at a stop sign.

Is this gonna be an asshole or someone tryna sell me something? 😂

i laughed so hard a this

4-6 AM in a Safeway subsidiary’s eCommerce department was chill. Because we weren’t open yet.

I absolutely loved the one section where the schoolgirls were talking in the background while the two fellows up front were talking about their order. It's rare to see thought given to a sort of red herring moment and also gives that scene a lot of life. We all have moments when we overhear something that we aren't necessarily supposed to be focused on, but focus on anyways. It was such a small but powerful way to reinforce the atmosphere and the threat of the stalker.

I was thinking the SAME EXACT thing while watching this video

happy's humble burger farm has something similar going on

I read “the game” in italics and realized I’d just lost

This game is brilliant. While it also provides horror elements, it also raises awareness to how women are harassed so frequently. I don’t usually enjoy horror games however this one is very well designed.

i come back to this video every now and then just for that part

Bro same

Love the emojis 😂

Then later on and he goes SWEET BEANS BUTTER BEANS

My reaction was to laugh and just think " Mark is going insane "

Hou, mukatte kuru no ka? Nige zuni kono dio ni chikazuite kuru no ka?

i knew this part is similar vibe to dio's lol

That’s always the annoying part of watching mark play horror games…it’s sometimes like he physically can’t get invested unless it’s a FNaF game or a game with an obvious and active threat…and even then he has an annoying habit of antagonizing said threat

Almost like...that was the joke he was making...

YES I HEARD THAT IMMEDIATELY

As a McDonald's employee I can confidently say, this is the story of my life!

The fact that the recipes reminded me of my stbx days 🥴

What's the unreasonable work expectation? The barista seems to be pretty slow before closing so the girl is able to accomplish all her necessary tasks in a timely manner, and she's not being asked to do anything you're average cashier doesn't do.

Or in retail. I've had to deal with all of these things working in retail granted I do work in food service in a retail store but our cashiers and floor workers also have to as well.

Don’t forget his tootsies of steel. The magic of them probably gave him the motivation to do this.

This actually isn't true - statistics prove that mentally ill people are much more likely to be harassed, attacked, or killed compared to people who aren't mentally ill, and people assumed to be mentally ill / behavior associated with mental illness is often seen as threatening and criminalized (as many mentally ill people risk having the police called on them for visibly exhibiting symptoms). The rhetoric that "acting crazy" will get people you leave you alone is blatantly untrue if you look into actual studies into violence and mental health, and is based in bigoted stereotypes; in reality, it typically puts you in more danger to be perceived as mentally ill.

@@MadeOfConfusion I think we can all agree the true reality horror of this game is the mundane dystopia of high-stress, low-pay customer service

I am happy to never had to do closing shift. And I am living in a peaceful town...

*Half as terrifiying

It truly depends where your place of business may be. For example: may you tend to a McDonald's establishment, you would be more than correct. The McDonald's worker will likely be doomed to many last-minute calls for "mY SoN WaNtS a HaPpPy MeAl!!" Whilst if you were to tend to higher-end clothing line, it would be no diffrent to a middle-day shift, perhaps even lesser so. Granted this serenity would be interrupted by the occasional last-minute purchase, still lesser to McDonald's.

i have a closing shift in a few minutes but im not scared bc it is always busy

Eyy would you happen to be a fellow goat enjoyer

Alternatively, PI got up and HE went "time to hide some bodies' /j

Ikr, Lmao

oh the lengths that humanity has taken for those fine words to be told

Whenever Mark said "Senpai" I could only think of Yandere Simulator. And whenever he said "bussin" my mind went straight back to Bussin' by AK-69 (a japanese rapper, which kind of fits with the game).

LMAO YEAH

Where are we? I missed the "bussin" and I definitely need to know

•Sid•The•Serotonin•Kid• hi guys

@@random_bullet hello

@@familyk9443 yes, thanks!

Did you mean real life monsters? Because that's what stalkers are--real life monsters.

When delusion takes over a human mind, it transforms people into something inhuman. Stalkers lose their humanity very quickly as their delusions take over.

I did notice that! Glad I wasn't imaging things 😅

I thought the hoodie guy was actually just a red herring, or working with the scary stalker, I didn't consider that there could be two... maybe it was him that took the bodies?

Wait, what's the other ending?

oh wow i never realized that

Yeah, is very interesting how there were two stalker following the MC, but there's other men being creepy too, like the "nice" guy that ask for MC's phone number and the one that stares at you in the bus (42:56). I feel this game was made with the idea that male players can understand how dangerous the world is for a woman that is on her own, the paranoia that every man could a potencial r*pist and murderer

Even if they seem dead after checking tie them up just in case.

@@Countdown420 what’s your question?

I was shocked to learn that the Japanese have a word which specifically means "a pervert who molests people on crowded trains". And a lot of the cases are highschool girls. One specific instance of sexual assault of underage girls is SO COMMON that they had to INVENT A WORD FOR IT. Crazy.

Please, just yesterday a customer said to me "I have 4 drinks on me, kid. Look at it" like he wasn't the one ordering it

Immediately reminded me of a part in an Invader Zim episode where a fast food manager is arguing with a customer who clearly has his order in front of him. "I want my slaw!" "You have your slaw, sir!" "I. WANT. MY. SLAW!" "YOU HAVE YOUR SLAW, SIR!" This goes on for like a minute in the background. lol

Yes

@Spyro Frost You guys good?

@@SimplyLotus2319 Did you even check my comments? If you did, then you threw away literally every good point that I made lol

Literally what I thought the whole playthrough lmao

I like how there was no mention of men or anything related to that in this comment at all and somehow some of them managed to get offended by it. Yes it happens to men, as it does women. You literally cannot deny the statistics for women are way much higher. That’s it.

It's only "being a woman" if your only expectation of being a woman is to be stalked and killed by a creeper. Keep a gun on you and be prepared to slaughter any man or woman that attacks you. That is how my mother raised me. You can't punish the majority of men just because one might be a creep. It'd be the same as treating all women as trash because one was absolute trash. It's not right or fair to demonize one or the other for the faults of a few. You also must learn that the only person that can help you is yourself. That goes double in a fight. A man might attack you, or a woman might, and no one will bother trying to stop them. Most will just run away or look away. They won't put themselves into a situation where they are in danger. That means you have to know how to get away or kill your attacker. You cannot sit there and be wishy washy about "well, I shouldn't be expected to think or act this way for my own safety just because some guy is a predator." Because it doesn't matter. A predator is a predator whether you're prepared to fight or not. So you had best be ready to kill him for your own survival.

Can't they provide you with some sort of weapon for self-defense? Or just not have people do solo closing-shifts?

I'm so sorry. All we can do is tough it out and fight for our safety it used to be (and someplaces still is) women's rights now ig it's women's safety! jeez

Thank you! I knew that this game felt familiar, that explains it. I’ve never worked as a barista but I have worked later at night at an archery range. And it got uh… uncomfy at times. Especially since sometimes I was the only one presenting female.

Another reason I don't work.

This is what and why I tell other people or ladies the advice I try to give when I can. Never give up or let someone take your feeling of safety away. There are always options or opportunities you can do or take to prevent these situations. If people give up too soon, then that dreadful thing will happen. I've been there and I know what it's like but I told myself never again. I got a different job if the one I had wasn't working, I took safety precautions, I got protection either by weapon or by people, and I put myself in the mindset even though the world is more dangerous for someone like me. I wouldn't let that stop me from living a normal life and not in fear. Even when I've had a few scary moments. I put on my determine, crazy aura that you better leve me be or one of us is dying today and it ain't gonna be me! That right there works everytime if nothing else because you are letting the person know you don't fear them. Even if something happens, you won't let them take that fight out of you! This is my advice and advice everyone should give no matter what! There are always options, never let anyone or anything make you feel otherwise.

@@KaySaly to add to one of your points, making somewhat of a scene can also have the benefit of making you seem like more trouble than it's worth, instead of an easy target, and it seems like sometimes that's good enough for someone to leave you alone

So if you have a keyfob you have to be careful when you unlock your car so they don’t open the back door and slip in without you noticing. That’s why I prefer the lock system on newer cars because you don’t have to get the key fob out, you push the button but it only works on the drivers side door first, then you press it a second time for all the locks.

Hi

I hope you're safe now!

I definitely get where you're coming from too. Im glad you're okay. one time when I was working 3rd shift at a previous job (thankfully we always have 2 people on a shift) a gentleman came in around 2am from out of town and he... wasn't in his right mind. he kept hitting on me. asking me extremely personal questions. my coworker thought it was hilarious, she was in the office giggling up a storm. I was polite and denied his advances but he was persistent. he kept saying he wanted kids. wanted me to go with him. then he legit got down on one knee and proposed to me. I shit you not. I was freaking out but scared he would come around around counter and hurt me. after almost 45 minutes he finally left. I was super scared and freaked out. thankfully I never saw him again. was too scared to call the police out of fear of not being taken seriously...

@@lemonywater2979 I am! Some coworkers helped me and told him to leave and when that didn't work my manager kicked him out and got police involved. I heard he was creepy to a few other employees too, I'm just glad he's gone. I start to panic whenever I see certain kinds of leather jackets now though lmao. I'm a cashier so he always came through my line, eventually with like one item week after week. Then one time he cornered me in my aisle and put his hands on me and I don't rlly remember much after that, just what my friend told me after. Still remember the nauseating mint smell tho. They told him to fuck off and eventually spoke up for me when he didn't leave me alone. Hope he rots.

Just recently when I was still in high school this guy from another class had apparently been stalking me for two years. He knew I have a dog that I take out on walks, he knew I have an elder brother who took my dog in the evenings, and he knew I didn’t come out much in the evenings. That was something not even close friends knew as some sort of fact. Only probably one or two people apart from my family knew about me not wanting to be out in the evenings for any reason or the other. And I live in a pretty guarded area. So this guy one day waited for me outside for like 2 hours in the afternoon on a very hot day- easily above 40°C, while I was at my friend’s house and waited till I was alone to approach me. I’d seen him loitering around when we were going to her house and also to mine to get my dog. We were concerned about the guy when we had seen him and were even considering to approach him to ask whether he was okay. Not only that, I had a feeling we were being watched, and lo and behold that guy was a bit away from us with his phone pointed to our, and when I pointed him out to my friends he acted as if he were taking a video of the scenery around. Anyways, he approaches me and introduces himself as a friend of a friend saying that he had told him about me and he’d been wanted to talk to me for a while now. Then he tells me how I don’t get out in the evenings, and that he’d waited 7 hours on another occasion to meet me. Then he proudly tells me how he had seen me 2 years ago, describing my outfit and that my dog had barked at him, “probably because he didn’t like the way I was looking at his owner”. There was no one around, and I was tired and just wanted to go home, not to mention how hot it was. I couldn’t have run away or fought him, I didn’t know what his intentions were, and my dog is rather big and he was too tired so I couldn’t run with him in that state too. So i asked for his Instagram and got hold of his name, but then I noticed this guy had liked a couple posts of mine a few days ago. It was really creepy. I’m okay now, thankfully I told my brother and he took care of everything, although I’m afraid we didn’t report him to the school authorities, thanks to certain prior experiences we’ve had with them to know they won’t do anything and blame me instead. My parents also got me some pepper spray because this was just too much, and I wasn’t to leave the house without a friend. God only knows what all he knew about me and what he could do next. I’m glad to say that quite a bit of time has passed since then and I’m completely safe :)

Omg, it's great to see you here OT! Fellow Mark fan

One topicy wopicy~~ god i watch too much click

OT??!?!?!!! this is the last place i'd expect u to be

It omg hiii

Hey OT, nice to see you here

I had no idea that was even an option! I hadn’t seen anyone else do tha

dude ifkr

Does that count as an ending even though it goes to a game over retry screen

I was curious to see what happens if u use the screw driver in the vent. Glad mark figured out

I thought Jack was going to do that in his play-through because I’m pretty sure he found the vent after he died on his first try, but he ended up also using the brick, and I was always wondering what the other ending was.

Same, i can watch any horror jumpscare game EASY. But this 👀 is somethinggg else

My work is like this. Thankfully no stalker (yet)

Literally I’m a barista this like validated all my work complaining tbh

You end up doing more to the stalker than the investigator, so I wouldn't say completely non-combatant xd

That’s always been my one mission In life to understand my fellow humans, that and get Taco Bell every Tuesday

@@victoriamarie1474 you don’t need validation tho, we are always seeking it but don’t have it within ourselves.

IS THAT A JOJO REFRENCE?

SUHRBAHBHAAHHAHA

I really ought to watch JoJo...

ゴゴゴゴゴ

@@Zeracan bro u need to it’s so amazing

That’s what I thought I was so concerned what was happening

thank you. it horrified me

it kinda made me mad that the caramel macchiato used caramel syrup instead of vanilla lmao

as a former Starbucks barista myself who worked at multiple different locations, this game ESPECIALLY hit home. Throughout the stores I worked at, each of the closing managers still wanted trash taken out after dark despite it being against the rules and I just... this game really highlights why that SHOULDN'T have been a thing. -Stuff like that is why I quit.-

Farmers market goes late, during the later part of the season they make me close up during dark. Fucking spooky man. I've bought a stun gun just in case.

@@bumblebea420 It also made me mad that the coffee went in before the milk.

Well....you wouldn't be alone if there was a stalker O.O

Anthony J Crowley: Excuse me

Not even demons can afford gas nowdays, that's a cold hard truth

and then the customers are condescending and like "are you neww?" and you're like yes! i am! and my trainer showed me how to do this one time before taking a thirty minute smoke break!

Yeah, that part was too real. I actually got kind of stressed when he looked at the training tapes. Trying to remember where everything was and in which order to do all the tasks, just... Vietnam flashbacks of the highest order ensued :)

Exactly! My gosh yes. Older people looove to make it a generational thing too, like "Oh you don't know what you're doing because you're either not paying attention or you just don't give a shit." Meanwhile it's THEIR generation that's not teaching us properly, throwing us to the wolves like Senpai in the game. They're the ones that don't give a shit, who dont have a clue what good work ethic is and refuse to have the sympathy or even the patience to teach. You'd think they'd want efficiency as bad as the customers expect it pft.

Dude I relate so much. This is my second summer working at a retail store, and I still feel like a deer caught in headlights when a customer asks me where literally anything is

It was

I myself actually kind of lived through this at my last job as a barista. I don’t work there anymore.

@@jamalquequeonesliceofpizza7718 sauce?

@@corahtheskeleton8062 one guy said it on a video can't remember it it's name but the story is. There was a women who was a barista like in the game the stalker had been following her for years and ended up killing her

@@jamalquequeonesliceofpizza7718 poor woman

Fr the eery feeling and paranoia is really well executed in this

Fr

I mean, depending on where you live, a lot of guys feel unsafe at night too, albeit usually for different reasons.

Why do people think only girls are in danger at night? Boys are much more likely to be the victims of robbery and car theft.

@@RomanSimkins Because people nowadays are supposed to believe men are only ever aggressors and perpetrators and women are meant to live in constant fear even when they have no real reason to.

To be fair, a mad dash for the car might've been more doable if the stalker didn't move so unrealistically fast. Not at all a safe option but if you just want /out/ of a terrifying situation it's not a weird one to pick, especially since the stalker doesn't move from the other end of the building 'til after you can't see him.

Bro u know who else who makes videos that are also entertaining ? Mine just like Markiplier hundred percent u will die of laughter bro

@@Sheelovequann glanced at your channel. are you perhaps 7?

I WAS LOOKING FOR JOJO MEME AND I'M GLAD I'M HERE

@Confused Ema SAME XD

I was looking for this comment and I’m not disappointed.

Nah she's holding them gta style

They fine

I’m rewatching bc it’s just so good

This. When I saw him stare at the coffee menu with no comprehension and I thought 'ah, he has never had to deal with this. I always wondered what that feeling is like."

@@riseandroot4530 When he asked "Who would get JUST milk??" I wanted to cry because I have had people get MUCH dumber drinks. I still can't get over the time someone asked for a redbull drink with shots of espresso in it.

@@Ehh97 what the fuck 🤣 idk how to feel about that lmao

@@Ehh97 WHAT 😭

@@Ehh97 isn't that kinda... dangerous? mixing alcohol with energy drinks xD
