What the?

I’m still trying to figure this one out. The other day I was in our store before business hours gathering supplies for another job. As I was walking out the door with my arms full, almost running late, a passerby tried to enter. All the lights were off, and I explained that we don’t open the store until 9 a.m. The person nodded in what seemed to be understanding but still tried to squeeze past me to enter. I re-explained the situation in greater, superfluous detail. The person looked at me like I just insulted his/her mother.
“We aren’t open until 9:00. I’m sorry.”
“So there’s no one in there right now?”
“No. The store doesn’t open until 9:00.” This was taken as an insult apparently. Then, I was given a most illogical and confusing plea.
“So I can’t go in there? I don’t even want to buy anything!”
