Safeway purposly blocking emergency exits.

This is not a delayed egress door. In a emergency this door should open as soon as you push through and not only the fire marshal but the ADA should have a field day with this and if someone from South Metro or Littleton FD doesn't get a hold of you I would file a complaint. This is note just a Code Problem it is the law not to block an Emergency Exit. Delayed egress doors not only work with a 15 second delay and alarm for security but must release upon any fire alarm activation immediately, and be wheel chair accessible without obstructions if it is not a required egress path then the exit sign must be removed if it is not removed then it becomes a required egress path as to not cause confusion during an emergency.

Sounds like the most knowledgeable person to reply thus far.

I'm pretty sensitive about this kind of crap because in 1984, John Orr, a fire investigator for Glendale FD and serial arsonist, set fire to a hardware store in Pasadena California. My closest friends were literally the last two people to get out alive. Four died in the store including a child.

So I always know where the exits are.

Just got a call back from the District Manger, he said he has been in contact with store management and not only will they not be blocking exits with carts, they will also not be locking the 2nd set of doors at 8pm. He was very professional and apologetic and said the management issues will be dealt with as well.

Good news and nicely done. You made a positive impact on the world around you when thousands turned a blind eye. I hope they follow through with those actions.

Yeah, that's cool. Nice job.

Glad to hear the outcome. Hopefully Johnathan will be working on his resume soon. Lol.

This thread isn't about public safety, the fire station is less than 1/4 mile away & the sheriff dept is 300meters across the street. I can't recall a business burning down in the 21 years years I lived there but congratulations on wasting people's time. HR will always be home, yet its people like you who complain about everything that makes me never won't to move back there.

Wow Ron, you're a dick.... while I agree that the Safeway probably won't burn down, neither will 99.99% of other stores so I guess all those emergency exits are a waste of time. You may not mind when a store blatantly disregards safety and store management treats customers like crap but I expect more.

people like you who complain about everything

This just made me laugh, you're little bitch session shows you're WAY more prone to complaining than I'll ever be.
