Why does 7-11 have locks on the doors?

The locks came with the doors.

Easy answer:

The 7-11 employees lock up the store inbetween customers when it gets late at night. This keeps someone from just pulling up and robbing the 7-11.

The locks also give the employees the chance to secure the doors if something suspicious is going on outside (that might lead to a robery, etc.)

I'm an optimist, the glass is always half way to a fresh pint

Why do they make swimsuits that have labels that say - Not suitable for wearing in swimming pools, the sea or for sunbathing !!! Drives me mad.

If they're going to be open 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year, why do they have locks on the doors?

Anyone else got odd ball things like this that bother them? Often these things sneak up on you if you're in an altered state of mind. Like why drive through bank machines have brail buttons?
