If you were ever wondering how much your company and your bosses care about your personal safety and wellbeing when it comes in the way of expenses and company profit, this is a great test.
When u/Zealousideal-Ebb-481 got locked behind a gate at a fast-food joint within a box store they quickly found themselves in a dire situation. We're not pointing fingers here but, supposedly, this is a chain that likes measuring their food in 12-inch increments. As the employees of the box store looked on in entirely unhelpful bewilderment u/Zealousideal-Ebb-481 started going through their options.
They first called their manager who informed them that they were going to be stuck there "At least all night long. If not longer if they can't get the door open in the morning."
This tread popped up on a number of different sources. We have pulled some of the best comments from all of them.
The thread was first posted to r/legaladvice u/Zealousideal-Ebb-481 in the midst of the unfolding drama. From there, it was posted to the workers advocacy groups r/antiwork and r/workreform.

u/zealousideal-ebb-481 is stuck inside of their cage at work and has no way out. Their manager told them that they're just going to be stuck there until morning!
This update was provided to the original post after u/zealousideal-ebb-481 took the advice of commenters to phone the Fire Department.
Commenters in these two subreddits were very concerned about what would happen if there was a fire or something and u/zealousideal-ebb-481 was unable to get out.
The valuation of this worker's life is the $4000 it would cost to replace the door. Hopefully the company loses more than that in fines from the fire department and lawsuits.
They clarify here that there were plenty of workers from the box store on the other side of the gate.
Is this not a thing in the States? Here in NZ doors like this need to be inspected every few months with a more comprehensive service and inspection every year.
Does there need to be a fire exit from this little section of the shop behind the gate?
