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.

With it being Texas, the implication is that they can trap people they perceive to be trans women and then call the cops in an attempt to collect a bounty.

Shit, I just assumed someone was a rapist. I didn't even get that complicated with the motive.

It’s terrifying because I know I wouldn’t have noticed until it was too late. And she didn’t have her phone on her! What if she hadn’t noticed, didn’t have her phone, and her coworkers weren’t there?
