    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.

        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.

          > In the winter months, gale storms in Svalbard can reach wind speeds of a hundred and thirty kilometers per hour. Accompanied by, or following, snowfall, such storms can reduce visibility dramatically, more so in the frigid months of the polar night. During these storms, travel is not advised.

      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.

      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.

    Gotta love running that bag full of money to the bank at the end of the night. They know you’ve got it, too. They know exactly when to expect the manager to leave for the bank. Late at night, after close, in some shit neighborhood.

    That’s how you get this door.

    “Danger! Never always open this look before door after you open dark this door!”
