<p>[QUOTE="Victor, post: 272201, member: 5454"]Most of the coin shops I go to in small Northeast Connecticut towns are not locked. Even a big store in Worcester, MA isn't locked. You just walk in like any other place. But drive over the state line into Rhode Island and all the coin stores are locked with bars on the windows. You have to ring a doorbell and get buzzed in. I fail to see the purpose of this. Is it just hype? I get the feeling I have just been admitted to some secret inner sanctum of Fort Knox.</p><p>Who is not let in? Have you ever been refused entrance to a shop with a locked door? What's the deal here? You mean they actually turn away potential customers?</p><p>I suppose if a gang of punk thugs rang the bell the owner could refuse to let them in. Or if a mean looking guy with a gun drawn rang the bell. Maybe if the owner didn't like you?</p><p>But given the scenario of an empty store, a dealer hungry for sales, wouldn't everyone be let in?</p><p>And if someone really wanted in they could just hang out near the door and run in on the coattails of another customer who gets buzzed in.
