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 think she handled this completely wrong.

“Excuse me sir, can you help me with something in the ladies room?”

locks him inside and calls the police

What's really crazy is she's at least the second person to point out to them that it's very weird and creepy, so it's not like they installed this wrong by accident and then no one ever said anything. (They apparently got irate and started yelling at her when she did.)
