Oh for sure this would be unlawful imprisonment and probably break some minor fire codes but who cares about that kind of stuff these days.

There is profit at stake!

Yeah like the time a book store locked me and my wife inside. I pushed on the door not knowing it was locked and it broke open. Guess due to the emergency exit bar. They got pissed but I told them they illegal locked us in and fuck off.

This isn't a minor fire code. but a death trap

And for that very reason, it's also extremely illegal. If the fire exit is the only way to get out in the event of a fire, and it's blocked by said fire...

The article says nothing about emergency exits being locked. If that was the only exit available to me then I’d use it and let the store employees deal with the alarm.
