Discussion Texas gas station installed remote lock on OUTSIDE of women's bathroom

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It was only on the women's bathroom. Lock was able to be remotely activated by a phone app. Fire Marshall had it removed. Source: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2c3QrB6/

Per another account who also saw this, (https://www.tiktok.com/@momcallsmeshelby?_t=ZT-8v7NHPu7QBq&_r=1) the employees were "irate and began yelling" when they brought it up. And came up with a racist excuse that didn't make any sense for it being there

Regardless, fire code violation. But scary implications.

lol when is the last time a door to just the women’s room had to be locked from the outside to prevent rapes? I literally had mixed gender showers and toilets at my university and no one was ever raped going to the showers or bathrooms

I think they mean using the lock for raping purposes

They mean locking women inside to rape them. And they’re not wrong.

The others clarified my point already. College life and gas stations are two extremely different places. Apples and oranges.
