that's the way it is done. A vet has set appt times and anything after the last appt is considered after hours. The office stays open another half hour or hour for the clients to pick things up or drop things off. Sure you could get there earlier but the doctor can't see you until after his scheduled appts, which mean he has to stay later then scheduled and fit you in. Your lucky they even offered it to you. Some places would have told you they didn't have anything left and sent you to the ER. Vet's and tech's work hard all day long. When closing time comes around we don't want to stay there later any more then you would want to stay late at your job. I can tell you that today I wanted to go home so bad. I'm tired, my feet hurt, my legs hurt, and my back is KILLING me.
