My uncle once told me a story about a shop owner of a 24 hour shop
who was forced to close his shop during Xmas or something and
therefor he had to buy and install locks just for this very
special day. Merry christma.
bye,
Stefan

Denney's Restaurant chain desided a couple of years a go to close
all their 24 hour restaurants for Christmas. It ended up costing them
several million dollars, most of them did not have locks on their front
doors and where they had locks no one knew where the keys where.
