It is unlikely that it would be any worse than it would 
be now and far better than being stuck in an elevator.  
If you wanted to be really Draconian about it, you could 
require the business to close until the system was repaired, 
on the other hand you could let people decide for themselves 
if they wanted to stay or leave.
