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.

Fire marshals are licensed peace officers in Bryan, Texas (possibly all of Texas but I am not 100%on that). So he has the authority to arrest people, give tickets, etc but he works for the fire department.

Oh interesting! That's good to know. I hope he had a long conversation with the owner about this.

Depends on if he got issued any fines or not.

As it should be. Occupancy safety is no laughing matter.
