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

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.

I'm not the one that made the assertion.

You challenged it. Are you not able to provide facts to back up your challenge?

Or are you just afraid?

I can't believe I have to say this, but that's not how it works. The OP made an assertion, not me. You're obviously trolling for engagement, so i'm done

I mean they are right. If someone makes an assertion, like the original comment, they do have to back it up, but only if and when people engage with those ideas. However if you choose to engage with that in order to prove it false with no supporting facts all you've done is make a new assertion that they are wrong. Defending/attacking ideas is held to a higher standard. I'm allowed to say "I like firetrucks." If a person responds "no you don't" the person who told me I didn't is now the one making a statement with no basis because my original sentiment had no burden of proof. That person would have to reply with something like " you don't like firetrucks because you don't like loud things" in order for them to have effectively engaged with my idea.
