If the gas station round the corner has a sign which says: open 24 hours- why does it need a door?

Answer 1

Your question is funny.

Even funnier is how seriously some people took it!

Thanks for a laugh today.

Answer 2

A door will keep the heat in or the air conditioning in, so that's one reason they need a door, even if they are open 24 hours a day. If the business ever goes "out of business", they'll need to lock the doors. Some businesses are open 24 hours a day most of the year, but will close for Christmas and Thanksgiving. If a crime were committed in the store, they'd need to be able to close off the crime scene. Nothing is permanent. Some businesses try the "open 24 hours" and later decide that being open during certain hours does not generate enough income to pay the staff, so they scale back the hours.

Answer 3

because, after about midnight they lock the doors and are selective with the people they let in... sometimes also they lock the doors and sell through a window. its just for the cashiers safety.

Answer 4

To control the climate in the store for one. Also, to keep bugs out and to lock up in emergencies.

Answer 5

To stop the cold air from outside to get in or to stop the AC from the inside to get out maybe

Answer 6

for energy conservation. store overhead would be higher if you couldn't keep the place at a certain temperature to appease the customers.
