What are your thoughts on the loblaws barriers?
Loblaws recently installed 7 foot high Plexiglass barriers that funnel people out of the stores. They claim it will stop theft and make people safer.
Many people have voiced concerns about these barriers possibly being a fire hazard, in the sense that they might create a bad bottle neck in the event of an evacuation. Many people panic during an emergency. However, I have also seen many people stating that it's not technically against the fire code.
In your opinion, is this a hazard? Do you think it's fine, or do you think that this could be one of those situations that ends up causing new regulations to be added after casualties happen? Do you think that people are too worried, or do you think that these concerns are valid?

I just assume everything loblaws does to be evil now.
Personally I don’t see any inherent problems with these small jumpable gates at first glance. But I’m sure there’s something sinister and evil about them and that I’m not seeing, because loblaws is literally Satan.
You can jump 7'?
Oh. I went by the pictures and I didn’t see the glass added on top. I’m big dumb.
But I was right, loblaws is doing evil.
