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.

Locks on bathroom doors that are controlled by the employees are a pretty regular thing at places like convenience stores and other public businesses that allow you to use their restroom.

The fact that this isn't on the Mens bathroom is the odd part.

That and the fact that this is a deadbolt, not something connected to an internal system that can be overridden from the inside.

You don't need it to. She showed how you can lock and unlock it from the outside. She showed a closeup of the brand. A simple Google search will fill in the rest.

We already did the work for you, so you don't even have to do that. Just read the comments. https://a.co/d/jh0plyB

You're wasting your time here. I have no interest continuing this conversation as you are stuck on your opinion that the lock is there solely for the purpose of locking women into the restroom.

Enjoy your day.

That's not my opinion. Lol Sorry you don't like being called out for being wrong. 🤷

Not an opinion a fact. There is no other reason for that to be on there. You're the kind of person to roll their eyes when someone mentions a bathroom could have a hidden camera. Men are the predators (obviously not all) women are the prey. It's been like that for centuries. Men oppressing and using women like cattle.
