I mean the real question is how many people are in the premises. How can they know how many people stopped in the bathroom after clocking out? They don't have an exact count but I'm sure there's some estimate.

We need to normalize the use of lights at night by pedestrians on roads or multi use paths. I've seen them used by recreational pedestrians (dog walkers, runners) but for some reason never outside of that context. Sometimes I use my ph
