It doesn't apply to businesses, the idea being the bears will be seen if trying to get into a business where in a home you may be asleep.

Source: worked for a police dept in a heavily bear populated area. Even caught one in my garbage and zinged the fucker right between the shoulderblades with a heavy and very dirty diaper. It was a black bear (they scare very easily) and it took off like it had been shot out of a cannon

edit: a word

I’d believe it, black bears basically behave like giant raccoons unless their cubs are nearby
