Why is it that when you walk in stores, there is air blowing on you???

Question

its kinda annoying and weird...why is there air blowing me

Answer 1

I think it is to keep the hot or cold air outside from getting inside. Also it helps with the bugs.

Answer 2

Since most people tend to release a little gas before going into an enclosed area, it might be a way for the store to force that little whiff of unwanted air back onto the street (or mall walkway). OK, that's just a nutsy theory of mine...in reality, it's a way to keep unwanted insects out of the building, but come on, who HASN'T let one just before going inside a building?

Answer 3

It's a secret that the government doesn't want you to find out. When you walk into a store, the air blows a mist of the chemical spendtoomuchious, which causes you to spend all your money there. They want your taxes!

Answer 4

That is to keep the bugs and flies out of the store. They can't enter with the air blowing outward.

Answer 5

It's probably the central air blowing cool air.

Answer 6

At the ENTRANCE and EXIT doors, it's to keep flying insects out. It creates a barrier of air which most flying insects can't penetrate through.

Answer 7

I know it's to control the bugs, but has it ever occured to any of you that most every store that utilizes this system sells some sort of hair styling product???

Answer 8

because of the air conditioning,or heating pushing through out the store it has to go somewhere....

Answer 9

Umm, it's still cold outside and that's the heater blowing on you.

P.S. Hold tight to your wallet.

Answer 10

to keep in the hot and cold air, and i think to keep out insects too
