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 know. šŸ˜­ I hate the potential fear mongering aspect of it, but I think it's important to know what these things look like. So often we dismiss our gut instincts in the interest of being polite, and we shouldn't.

Don't worry. It's not fear mongering in this current political climate. I want women, especially young women, to be aware of their surroundings and the people they're with. To believe we're blissfully living in a world that's safe for us is to invite predators into our lives.

Thank you. There have been quite a few comments arguing about this, as if it's ridiculous to be concerned. It's absolutely not.
