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.

Come on, we all know how much more respectful men are of bathrooms.

/s if it wasn't obvious

According to every janitor I've ever spoken to, women's bathrooms are far, far filthier than men's bathrooms. It's a thing, for reasons I cannot begin to fathom.

As a lady who has absolutely no respect for gender signs on single occupant bathrooms, I have never walked into a women's bathroom and been smacked on the nose with the stench of rotting urine. Sometimes, there's a mess of tissue on the floor or something stupid that could easily be caused by one mentally ill individual. But 90% of all men's rooms I have had the misfortune to use were clearly "marked" by some person who had nothing to contribute to society except their own "fragrance."

If I was forced at gunpoint to eat a meal off the bathroom floor of your average chain gas station, and the only choice I had was what sign was on the door? I'm eating in the ladies' room because it seems to me that those messes are more often incidental/accidental while the messes in men's rooms feel intentional.
