Maybe Great White is scheduled to play there.
If they have the latch bypassed so the emergency bars dont open the doors they are in for a serious fine. Many departments will be giving them fines also, not just the fire marshal.
That's right down the street from us. They lock those doors (or I guess turn off the automated opener) after a certain point in the evening and they drive everything through the main doors. That HAS to be a fire code violation to block those doors like that. But I avoid that particular store as much as possible because they always seem to be priced higher than King Soopers and they also have a habit of turning off the self-checkout lanes at night and force you to stand in line to buy a handful of things.
But not out of line at all to raise a red flag about blocking that door. There's a fire station right around the corner . . . might be worth paying them a visit and tipping them off to send someone over for an inspection if they know around what time those doors get blocked.
Those types of alarms should open the door and just signal an alarm right there at the door . . . they look like the same type of alarm we had in a restaurant I managed. The alarm would sound if someone went out and you had to just shut it off with a key. Safeway probably had people going out after that turned off the doors and the managers probably got tired of having to shut off the alarm. So they decided it was a good idea to block the exit.
I feel like I've seen several stores do this over the years.
