N.a.d.o.e. asked:
I work as a chef. Tonight, I was shutting my kitchen down, sweeping then mopping. After mopping the back part of the kitchen, I went into the walk in refrigerator to mop. When I came out, I put the padlock on the door and turned the light switch off. (This is all standard procedure. Every night.) I continued to mop, backing away from the walk in to finish up the main kitchen. After mopping this whole area (~8min of work), I was backing into the dish area, whereby I looked up towards the WI. The lock was swinging. I understand the lock swings some when dropped after locking, but it should have stopped by this point. I continue to map and watch it swing. It seems to slow, then picks back up, over & over. I called my manager to look, and she & I both watched. I finished up & clocked out. Waited for the manager. Thought, Maybe there’s cold air coming from around the seam of the door. The dang thing is still swinging even as I approach it nearly 15m post lock. No draft
And whatever vibes the WI gives off shouldnt be any different than any other night. And the swinging was not just a little. It was as if it were being pushed.
Why did the lock continue to swing? And a walk in refrigerator is a fridge 11×13′. It doesn’t move. It’s a reinforced, insulated steel box. I was speculating. It wasn’t a draft. It wasn’t the unit leaking cold air.
I just don’t want to open the door tomorrow and have something growl “Zul” at me. (sorry, I couldn’t resist)
My initial alarm was immediately re: seismic bec we have had some earthquakes in the beg. of the year. My hanging pots and utensils weren’t moving though.
The compressor on one of my small reach in refrigerators blew last night also (nice morning mess throwing away food), but it’s not on the same direct circuit, but could something wonky electrically do it? Magnetism? Would have to be a heck of a pull though.
