Why do liquor establishments set their clocks 10-15 minutes fast?

I have been to numerous liquor establishments, and noticed that the clock in the bar is always 10-15 minutes faster than my watch. Why do liquor establishments tend to do this instead of letting people know what time it really is?|||By law they have to have no liquor being served by a certain time - here it's 2:00 am. They could get in a lot of trouble if they get caught serving after that time.


It's just easier to set the clock faster to accommodate last minute orders especially if it's busy.


It also makes it easier to start people heading toward the door so the staff can finish up and get home.


It's also easier to turn up the lights and make things look less inviting.|||so the staff can get out on time.|||Kicking out time.





The staff have homes to go to !|||So they can make sure that alcohol isn't being consumed after their license permits. If a bar is only allowed to be open till 2am, and they call last call at 1:45am on the clock (actual time being 1:30am) and they start kicking people out at 2am (1:45am actual time) if the local liquor control board wants to be a bunch of d#cks they don't get busted for serving after hours.|||In a lot of states they are not allowed to serve nor even have alcohol on the table/bar after a certain time. Here it is 2 am and if the alcohol board came in and saw any kind of alcohol present they could get some pretty big fines and then if caught doing it again they could be closed down.





So they set their clocks fast just to be sure that there is no alcohol being drunk and that customers/staff are out of there.
