I know my thoughts on this, but wanted to get opinion of everyone since I am sure many of us have at least one place doing this.
Typical Big Box Mercantile Grocery Store open 24-hours has two main entrances. At night (2300-0600) for "security purposes”, they lock their east most entrance and block it off with shopping carts. There are exit signs above both doors, but at night they want everyone to use the west most one. There are no other egress doors in the front of the store (in this example, south side).
My thoughts are absolutely not, but I know from my worldly travels I see it occurring quite often. I guess I am looking for how some of you have worked this issue out with your store managers other than throwing the law at them and threatening citations. I found a post on here from 2010 that mentioned this, but did not really give specifics - just said it was happening. That was also in the Building Code Forum
Thanks!
