why does a 7/11 that is open 24/7, have locks on the doors? if it never closes?

Insurance won't pay if you don't have locks on a building that gets robbed. \n\nHonestly. Google it.

Allows work, and play, to be conducted 24/7\n\nIn the old days fuel was too costly to keep the lights on all night.  Lights Out really meant Lights Out.

Well could be it used to be a different gas station beforehand and wasn't 24 hrs. then that is a different story!\nBut heh good question!

probably because you're walking by made them remember to lock their car doors.  Its not specifically you.  At least, for me, I know it isn't for any particular race.  I leave work really late at work and stupidly do not lock my doors when I know with an SUV somebody could open any of the 4 doors.  When I see anyone at the bus stop, I lock them.  \n\nTry not to take it personally.  You could always look at the driver real hard and snap your fingers like "DARN, I was about to car jack them!"  LOL

I used to work security for a major department store and we did the same thing with people as a prank. \n\nIt simply sets off the alarms at the doors and creates a little havoc, but other than that it's completely harmless. \n\nSecurity at any retail establishment cannot (or should not) stop or detain you simply for setting off the alarms at the doors. Certain types of cell phones and other electronic devices can set the alarm off as well.

Good point! \nCongratulations, that's got me thinking. Ouch!\n\nCould it have something to do with maintaining the frozen goods in the freezer, which obviously is less important in a fridge. Afterall, when the light comes on in the fridge it produces kinetic energy that turns the light into heat which could linger trapped inside once the door is shut again. \n\nWell, that's my feeble attempt at an answer. It would just drive me crazy otherwise!

They still need to be able to lock the door in case of a burglary.\n\nAlso, there are certain holidays that they are closed.

I think it depends. Where i live it closes at 6  Call the store nearest you, and ask.

Yes, we lock up every night.  We lock our cars, too.  We don't live in a particularly dangerous area, but my house was robbed and my mother raped by the burglar as a child, so I don't take chances.\n\nBesides, with a parrot and a great deal of electronic equipment in the house, there's no reason to tempt fate.  The electronic equipment can be replaced, but you can't replace a pet.  Since parrots are expensive and hard to trace, they're pretty big targets for theft.

The mechanism is called (oddly enough) a door closer.

I do not think you will find a dept, store open but you can always find a 7-11

Why aren't you sure? It's either closing or not.

It's never happened to me, but  I'd put a lock on my door.  That would solve the problem, especially if they don't have the courtesy to knock first.

aside from the fact that your wasting electricity by leaving it on at night, lots of programs and operating systems have at least some memory leaks. That's when a program doesn't release the memory it's holding for a program. When that happens, it slows the computer down, and if your computer springs enough leaks, it will crash. This is less of a problem with newer operating systems, but I would still shut the computer at night if your not using it.

None of the above. The security guard calls me and let me know I have a guest. The door is usually open by the time they get to my house.

i would have thought that was obviouse..\n\nwhy do you have a key to the front door of your house?\n\nwhy do bank safes have time locks?\n\nwhy was the garder belt invented?\n\nthink of these and you may find your answer confucious...
