If any customers are still around they have to find their way by the emergency lighting.<BR/><BR/>I know that on a Monday morning when I go in they only have half the lights on for the night fill team to work by, but every other morning it's full lights. I start at 7:30am so it could be different overnight.<BR/><BR/>I would find it rude if they turned most of the lights off before they are actually closed, but I can understand why they would want to do it (shows people outside that they are about to close and that they shouldn't come in unless it's very quick). They should wait at least until they are actually closed for the day.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865998551753086920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-83162537304347967802007-02-21T22:56:00.000+00:002007-02-21T22:56:00.000+00:00We don't turn lights off on customers - yes, that ...We don't turn lights off on customers - yes, that would be extremely rude. We just put an announcement over at the closing time and wait for everybody to leave.<BR/><BR/>The only exception is Sunday when we MUST close at smack-on 4pm. We close the shutters on the windows and only leave one door open on exit-only mode until everybody is gone.<BR/><BR/>I was in our local big Tesco just after midnight one day last week. It's a 24 hour store and they had half of the lights off.AggressiveAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727875876761850941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-32893084061695023142007-02-21T18:40:00.000+00:002007-02-21T18:40:00.000+00:00On a side note, is it just me that finds it very r...On a side note, is it just me that finds it very rude if you're in a shop, and about 15 minutes before they close, they turn off half the lights? I deliberately go slower if they do that.Pizza Hut Team Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483796742323899542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-50092471019626659432007-02-21T15:10:00.000+00:002007-02-21T15:10:00.000+00:00We have them in all of the staff areas apart from ...We have them in all of the staff areas apart from the stairways and warehouses.

When they made the switch to auto-lights utility bills were halved - so they say, but I don't think the results would have been THAT drastic. <BR/><BR/>The lights on the shop floor, obviously, aren't automated. We go very quiet on Saturday evenings, so there would be a risk of customers being plunged into darkness. Even when you turn them all off, several ones remain on and the window posters remain lit.AggressiveAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727875876761850941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-88449183609230892062007-02-20T23:52:00.000+00:002007-02-20T23:52:00.000+00:00Our RGM says he wants to fit one of those sensors ...Our RGM says he wants to fit one of those sensors in our store room to save money. Yet, for the entire store we have ONE light switch, and for some unknown reason the menu boards and signs (which are inside a locked shopping centre) stay on all night regardless of the switch. It is quite spooky at night though...just the glows of pizza photographs.Pizza Hut Team Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483796742323899542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-57855902580565899372007-02-20T20:26:00.000+00:002007-02-20T20:26:00.000+00:00That last one was me.That last one was me.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865998551753086920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-65677781374478390072007-02-20T20:25:00.000+00:002007-02-20T20:25:00.000+00:00I hate those motion sensitive light switches.
