I'm really curious if there's context for this
It's likely a restaurant or other retail business. You need to go dump the trash, but there could be someone waiting to get inside to rob it. I haven't worked in such a place that didn't have these warnings on the back door.
wtf that's dystopian af
Yea, we had a similar sign like this leading outside towards the dumpsters when I worked at Subway.
Damn. I was thinking this was an external door at some Antarctic research station since the weather there can get really harsh but I suppose just opening the door wouldn't be actually that dangerous.
Maybe not Antarctica, but I could potentially see the same warning on a research station somewhere that polar bears live. Because you might want to go outside, but a polar bear is waiting to rob you.
Thats super interesting, thanks for the context
I'm thinking it's a really bad neighborhood. Or maybe there's a literal jungle out there and tigers will get ya.
Lot of franchises will have their deliveries set up at off peak hours. So there's not only the whole robbery thing, but you also don't want a lift gate going through you.
USA! USA! USA!
Land of the free, home of the brave.
But don't go outside at night it's too scary.
La of the free, home of the brave. But can’t go out at night, too afraid.
A bit more rhymey this way .
It's weird, but not as exciting as you might think. It's been a while since I looked into it, but the gist is: This sign is from a taco bell in a high-crime area where robberies are common. People wait for the door to open then force their way in and rob the place at night. If you google the words on the sign you can find out where exactly.
