*Honk* *Honk* "get out of the way!!! (Road Rage?)

So something to ponder: I was reading an article from Japan. You know its super busy and any type of stopping slows everyone down. (like rush hour traffic).

So, they have this idea, if automatic doors are supposed to be to keep people moving, why is it you have to stop for them to open?? Is it because the store owners dont want them to be opened by passing people? In that case, it would be faster to have manual doors. I guess its to make people feel special like they are opening the doors for ME.
