in a traditional store, there are no hallways or walls. in fact, fork lifts are usually kept behind the store, not in them. they are kept that way to prevent idiots from messing with them and to keep them in decent condition for use. so in fact, there was no way your character could get access to a fork lift, nor could he know how to use one, or even have the key to one in the first place. keys arent left in power lifting equipment, its part of the rules for actually owning one in a store. so before you decide to tell me what my character sees and doesnt see, remember that we are in a place built upon reality and that you are not the gm. in other words, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
