In the heat of the moment, despite any and all PA announcements passengers will delay evacuation even further as they attempt to pry open the ‘inexplicably’ jammed bins and retrieve their duty free, etc, some will not give up until they’re found by the fire services later
It’s a well intended idea that will actually make things worse
Open lockers and close lockers only by cabin crew.
Soon all learn only cabin crew can open and close the bins - just like waiting for a meal or a drink - must wait and takes time.
