It shall not include areas used principally for non-public purposes, such as storage, incidental repair, processing or packing of merchandise, for show windows, for offices incidental to the management of maintenance of stores or buildings, for toilet or restrooms, for utilities or for dressing rooms, fitting or alteration rooms.
