My favorite way out of that situation was to tell them that the registers were automatically shut down at closing. Literally no way to ring up a purchase. It worked most of the time
That’s why there’s the JADE acronym. You never justify, argue, defend, or explain. That makes them think there’s a chance if they just counter every single thing you say.

“Can’t you fuck off?”
I usually lead with, “That’s out of my control,” or “that’s above my pay grade.” Most of the time people get it.
