There is also a good chance that they can be pushed open, just triggering alarm. Based on TFA that is the case.

when leaving the self-checkout area, he didn't notice the scanner, so he pushed open the exit gate, prompting a loud alarm to go off.

    I hope so. But then it begs the question: will that alarm also be ignored as all other in-store alarms tend to be? LOL
