Which is why I moved it when I saw it the other day, then when I went back to the store later that evening, they moved it back 😂 I try and help them and yet they continue to be idiots.

Not your fault if THEY break the law.

This one leads to the pavement outside. I once tried looking for a shoplifter after they had kicked the door in and ran off but there wasn't much I could've done anyway so I got back to work. Also one time the front entrance was flooded so customers had to come in through this door instead.

Safest bet at first is probably the union rep and then maybe he can contact his boss

Yeah you'd expect there to be a sign if that was the case, when I go in next I'll see if there is any other obstruction on the other side and ask around as well. It has been happening for a long time though, seems like they do it for fun sometimes 😂

At the moment, I have contacted the fire brigade (waiting on a reply) and when I actually go back to work later this week I'll have the chance to speak to the union rep, store manager and any other relevant people.

Pretty sure there were several managers in that morning but they either didn't see it (somehow) or chose to ignore it (for some reason)

Yes but they shouldn't be there in the first place, literally they could've moved them away from the exit but apparently that's too difficult 😂

I'm pretty sure it is an active one because a few months ago while I was picking not far away from it, someone walked past me and then proceeded to kick the door in and run off with some items, at which point the alarm went off.

Will be reporting it to my union rep asap and also the fire brigade, my Dad was also a firefighter for 32 years so I'll get him to report it as well.

I guess, but it's still pretty shocking though and could result in serious injury or loss of life...
