if seven 11 stores are open 24-7 why are there locks on the doors?

Answer 1

State of emergency. Better safe than sorry.

Answer 2

Some stores do close on Holidays or do not remain open all day so doors would be locked. Also some have locks for safety reasons a clerk can lock someone in or out of store. Lastly many stores lock their doors after certain hours and conduct business through a window so even though open no one can enter store. I hope that helps

Answer 3

Gd Question But If They Are Trying To Lock Some body In And Remember They Shut Earlier On Sundays And Bank Holidays Lol You Got Me Thinking

Answer 4

Our 7/11 gets locked up any time the clerk has to be in the back room. There was also a time when someone robbed the store and it was locked up to preserve the scene until police arrived.

Answer 5

I have often wondered that myself- and would assume that in case a single employee has to go the restroom they could lock the door if alone. Or if something dangerous going on in the parking lot they could lock the door & call the police.

Good question.

Answer 6

Because when the store under renovation, of repairing work is going on, it has to be closed for temporary.

Btw, i didn't realize there are locks on the doors, though. LoL

Answer 7

Just in case. You never know when you need to shut down for whatever reason. You don't want to have to install door locks when its an emergency.

Answer 8

So they can lock the door after the robbery that takes place once or twice a year...

Answer 9

It's for when the business closes down. The next business is going to need a lock.

Answer 10

In the event of a robbery, they can lock the doors.

Answer 11

Simple, even 7-11 clerks need to go to the bathroom sometimes.
