That's cool, just having some fun. I'm almost at the end of Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' and my head is kind of full of pro-capitalist / anti-free-luncher patriotism. Great read by the way...

<shrug> I do know that if I owned the business you are damned-straight it would have lockable doors. Just in case, right?
I think there are two doors for making it easier to get handcarts in and out, or at least that is how the employees look at it. But I really don't know. And I have no clue why they often only unlock one of them. Laziness I would guess.
