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.
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.
