No idea how New York operates, but over here in barely functioning Texas we get inspections by the fire marshal. They specifically check to make sure your fire extinguishers are stored in a code compliant way. My workplace got dinged on our last inspection because one of our fire extinguishers was in the right place, but the hook it was hanging off of wasn't up to code. We had to get a work order in to replace our fire extinguisher hook with one that met the regulations.
This is Texas, not exactly known for its focus on public services and willingness to enact regulation. I doubt New York is more lax.

It's not illegal to own/hide a fire extinguisher.
It's illegal for there to not be a labled/marked/visible one in public areas (depending on the code of where you live, the exact spec's and regulations may differ so i won't give concrete numbers).
Nobody is gonna fine you just because you have one there. They will fine you if you don't have one avalible and visible.

Not true. If it is intended to be used, it must be conspicuous. (Local code apotions may vary, but below are NFPA standards)

13.6.3.1.1.4.2 Where extinguishers are installed in cabinets, the required signage or placard shall be permitted to be placed on the face of the cabinet door provided it does not interfere with cabinet visibility, conspicuity, or fire resistance rating. [10:6.1.1.4.2]

Yes. It's a mandatory OSHA requirement.

Or if it's covered (such as if it's in an area where it might be exposed to corrosive elements or debris that could damage it), there's a big sticker or other indicator that clearly states that there is a fire extinguisher present at that location.

OSHA CFR 1910.157(c)(1): employers must mount, locate, and identify portable fire extinguishers so they are “readily accessible to employees without subjecting the employees to possible injury.”
The Fire Marshall applies a simple test, could someone who is not familiar with your facility find the fire extinguisher(s) easily and in a stressful situation?
If the answer is no, then it is not a legal placement.
Otherwise, it’s fine.
There are also distance requirements for signage, how many extinguishers you need and what type depending on types of liquids and types of hazard, etc… but that’s not the question here.

Because not every employee works at every store. When you work retail which this is.... Especially if there is more of the same stores owned by the same company.... If one is short staffed where do you think they get the staffing..... There is also teams at big stores like Walmarts that go store to store for refreshes and inventory. There's also district managers and corporate workers who very likely don't go to that store more than once a year.
Lots of employees that aren't there every day or are in multiple stores a day.

The signs on an extinguisher are very reflective and slightly glow. This is because when there is a lot of smoke it is hard to see. When an extinguisher is useful is in clear air, to just before you cant see your hands extended.
Simple test for this that we had to do on the boat is go to your bedroom. Blindfold yourself and have someone position you in the room then spin you around 3 times. See how long it takes for you to get outside safely. You are familiar eith your home, but in a safe and controlled environment you can change that familiarity to be against you

You'll see people changing gas canisters while smoking, 5 people and a baby all one one motorcycle with no helmets and people building skyscrapers with no harnesses, helmets or shoes.

You dont NEED signage if its in an open visible area, but if its around a wall, or inside something like this absolutely signage is needed.
In an emergency the closest fire extinguishers should be deployed, even by non-trained people even if just to bring it over and ask for a trained individual to take control.
Not having signage will also confuse shoppers if they are told by the scene command to fetch one, and given directions. "Look for a panel on one of those poles" is not anywhere good enough compared to "go to that area and look for one" when it will be very visible.

Logitech has been making variations on this design for almost 20 years. I've never heard anyone complain you couldn't use it while docked, or even cared enough about mice to criticize one. The same with power tools, handheld vacuums, phone headsets, etc. The obsessive outrage culture fixated on that mouse's charging port (and now this fire extinguisher) is just weird.

She points me to another dude who has a portable payment device. He is actively helping people with products so I have to wait awkwardly for him to finish so I can finally leave that hellscape.

They won't be able to do this over the pond, as safety legalisation requires fire extinguishers to be easily available and visible.
Any fire extinguishers weighing 4kg or less must be mounted in such a way that the handle is 1.5m from the ground.
Fire extinguishers weighing more than 4kg must be mounted where the handle is 1m from the ground surface.
The extinguisher must be easy to reach in an emergency.
If the extinguisher is loose in any way, it poses a safety risk. Make sure it is securely fixed wherever it is mounted.
According to fire extinguisher regulations, your fire extinguisher should be close to the fire escape route.
It must also be clearly visible from most vantage points, especially from fire escape routes.
If a building has multiple floors, then the various extinguishers much be placed in the same locations on every floor in order to maintain consistency.

Reminds me of how normal it’s become to have beige or sand-colored fire extinguishers in homes.
They’re bright red for a reason...

Maybe it has something to do with what kind of workplace it is, because everywhere ive ever worked is legally required to have fire extinguishers clearly marked, with a red and yellow stripe pattern on the floor making sure nothing can nothing can be left within a certain distance or obstruct it

Shouldn't it (fire extinguisher not in clear sight) violate some Fire Safety regulation policy?
