Do they have employees walking down each isle at closing? Isn’t there a chance somebody still walking on a different isle then they are?

Answer 1

When a retail store closes for the day, they’re not actually closed down for the day. The employees still have work to do, they’ve got cleaning, and restocking shelves, and other things to do. At closing time they don’t let anymore customers into the store and see the last customers out of the store and then they do the closing working and then lock up the store after that work is all done.
