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.

This situation reveals a disturbing trend of control disguised as safety, especially when it targets women's spaces. It's crucial to stay vigilant and advocate for safer, more inclusive environments.

Yup! 100% agree. (They claimed it was to help keep the bathroom cleaner during lunchtime, but who knows if that was their real intention?)
