heh, that's a good freakin question? Lock down in case of robbery or something, some of them have bulletproof windows, or at lest on my side of the down.

Could be a local municipal code requirement, could be a requirement of some insurance policy. Could be so they CAN close if ever they need to.

They lock the doors at times when they have to count money, or get it ready to bring to the bank. They dont do it often though. Lastly if a suspicious person was hanging around outside, they might lock it till the police come.

When workers gotta use the bathroom they lock the door

That is a good one -- They will lock the door's in emergency's and sometime's when doing inventory - Or going to the restroom if they are alone

At the 24 hour stores where I have worked the locks were used most often so that the graveyard employee could go to the restroom.

These stores are so rare, I doubt there's much demand for secure doors without locks

Emergencies, inventory, sale, bankruptcy, or an unforeseen reduction in hours. Besides which they would have to be custom-made and that means they would cost more than doors WITH locks.

Doors just come with locks already installed. +5

laugh out loud. that was a great question. you should consider asking the managers.
Do you notify folks about your problems as they occur or are you pleasant, private, silent? How does that work for you?
