Not enough info from the OP. If the forklift was simply transversing an aisle, most stores do not close the aisle. If the forklift is actually working in that aisle (lift merch, etc) most stores close down the aisle. Isn't the flag-person and loud beeping enough to warn customers to move to saftey???

So if it was going thru a couple aisles to get to the aisle to be working... another worker would need to place closure-things at every upcoming aisle the forklift will be moving to, then remove the closure-things in the aisle it came from.

C'mon folks - common sense dictates common sense. It's YOUR responsibility to move out of the way. I have been in stores that have the large floor cleaner passing by - just move.

Of course if anything should happen to a customer (by their neglect perhaps) --- lawsuits and stores will have to hire more folks. Prices up. More complaints.
