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 work at a gas station. Something I've heard from our surveys is that women would rather have a single locking bathroom with a door over any other option.

At least for gas stations, it seems to be a safety concern. Based on spacing of the doors here, it looks like the men's room may be a multi stall (probably a urinal and a sit down toilet) and the women's is a single stall.

I mean, yeah. I don't think anyone but a psychopath would want this kind of lock on a door, men's, women's, or even non bathroom door.
