How stupid would you need to be to follow such instructions from a fire department official who strangely wasn't present in person, despite it being quite the emergency?

Stupid people, don't they have carbon monoxide detectors in their restaurants?

This is a serious sign of a psychological illness known as Burger King Syndrome! Laughing

They administer an IQ test at the door. If you pass you are refused admittance. A similar but more stringent test is administered to applicants for jobs.

On the other hand, the workers might have figured it was fake, but thought , "What a hell - a perfect excuse to express our feelings about this place AND get the rest of the day/night off." Very Happy
