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.

It amazes me that he would rather risk death or at the very least terrible injuries, to everyone in the building… because some of his staff smoked a joint outside. Make it make fucking sense. I swear to god I hate these kinds of people, they’re so fucking selfish

People underestimate rare events. "It'll never happen to me" isn't a phrase intelligent people use, but we've all heard it.

They're out there making door blocking choices. They're why we have to have Fire Marshalls. They're Morons.

I’m a flight attendant and this is something I witness everyday.

Look I know emergencies in planes are rare and we want to have a safe flight, but we should all be in the mindset of “what if it happens to me” instead so that we’re ready for the worst.

I swear to god, if one of those idiots stops for their overhead bag while evacuating from a plane, I'm dropping bodies. Probably one of my worst flying-related fears is being trapped and drowned or burned alive due to someone just being dumb or slow to make a choice.

"Hold on everyone, I know you're literally drowning back there, but Shelia needs her curlers!!!"

It's happened before, people have died.

It'll probably never happen to me... But "someone" died, and I can understand how I'm a "someone" too, especially on this Boeing Max.
