The fire regulations at my old Job in Scarsdale were ridiculous. Every 6-9 months, the fire marshall would make his rounds, and since we were across the street from the Fire Dept., we usually got hit up first. I remember the worst one was the time we got 2 citations: one fore having the store organized in a unsafe manner (we organized the shelves in a certain way so we could see everything in the store from the cashier's desk, as there was a problem with shoplifiting), and we were forced to move all the shelves so they would form Aisles that would point to the door so a evacuation was easier. The second was for not having the Fire Extenguisher readily available in case of a emergency. What was it not available you ask? Because a small garbage can was right beneath it and "preventing quick access to it". Each ticket was about $40, but if we get anymore they triple or something like that.
