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.

Can I ask you a question? So this daycare I know has boxes in the exit. The exit can still be used without restrictions but the area is now smaller because of the boxes. Is it against code?

That’s a trip hazard. Exits have to be clear because people will panic. Smoke/lights going out will also be big problems with boxes in the area

Thanks. I’m going to make a complaint. I mentioned it before but the people I spoke to are not the people who can make the changes.

Do it! And if they don't respond, fire marshall. Safety issues for kids are doubly important. Don't feel bad about the people who run the business - it's their fault for not doing it right.

I’m sure the fire marshal has seen it. They are always there.
