Bi-Entrance Flow Etiquette
| 8.11.2004
No one seems to know the rules as applied to navigating bi-entry establishments. To define, this is a store that has two separate doors. Most Starbucks have them. When I was young, the hallways of my middle school had a dividing line going down the middle. The rule was simple; one always walked on the right for each direction (much like driving in the states). I've been wondering why most people want to exit an establishment through the entrance door (right door). Do people feel that compelled to exit the same way they entered? This isn't spelunking or under water caving you know.At an early age, we all learn about our rights and lefts. In most cases, if you stay to the right, you're going to be OK. There one exception to this etiquette. On such occasion that one of the doors is locked, one has no choice but to use the same door for entering/exiting. This process is called "Mono-Batilinek flow". Otherwise known as ABSURD! Why do stores always lock one of the doors? Is it to cut down on heat or AC loss? Doesn't it all come out in the wash when a single door is left open for twice as long? Being I frequent many Starbucks, I'm starting to make a list of the ones that are suffering from Mono-Batilinek flow and crossing them off my list.
