I'm really curious if there's context for this

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago (4 children)

It's likely a restaurant or other retail business. You need to go dump the trash, but there could be someone waiting to get inside to rob it. I haven't worked in such a place that didn't have these warnings on the back door.

wtf that's dystopian af

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

Yea, we had a similar sign like this leading outside towards the dumpsters when I worked at Subway.

Damn. I was thinking this was an external door at some Antarctic research station since the weather there can get really harsh but I suppose just opening the door wouldn't be actually that dangerous.

Maybe not Antarctica, but I could potentially see the same warning on a research station somewhere that polar bears live. Because you might want to go outside, but a polar bear is waiting to rob you.

So not because of the shapeshifting alien then?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Thats super interesting, thanks for the context

Standard fast food back door. Every one has this sign.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Ours says "STOP: DO NOT OPEN WITHOUT MANAGER'S PERMISSION AND NEVER AFTER DARK!

Nobody has ever listened to that sign lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why not allowed to open those doors after dark?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Predators are stalking outside

I'm thinking it's a really bad neighborhood. Or maybe there's a literal jungle out there and tigers will get ya.

Lot of franchises will have their deliveries set up at off peak hours. So there's not only the whole robbery thing, but you also don't want a lift gate going through you.

Land of the free, home of the brave.

But don't go outside at night it's too scary.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

La of the free, home of the brave. But can’t go out at night, too afraid.

A bit more rhymey this way .

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It's weird, but not as exciting as you might think. It's been a while since I looked into it, but the gist is: This sign is from a taco bell in a high-crime area where robberies are common. People wait for the door to open then force their way in and rob the place at night. If you google the words on the sign you can find out where exactly.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This would make me want to open it for sure

You'd be irreplaceable as a horror movie character

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Nah, its different. I just only want to open the door

Food service door

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Is this door in the danger zone?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Gotta love running that bag full of money to the bank at the end of the night. They know you've got it, too. They know exactly when to expect the manager to leave for the bank. Late at night, after close, in some shit neighborhood.

That's how you get this door.
