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...
But just to be a jerk ;-) ... (and I'm guessing) the locks are there because
they can't predict the future and may need to lock the doors, like during a
riot or something, or when the manager quits in disgust and they have to
shutdown for a night.
<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.
