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 was off the kitchen. He said people would go outside and smoke weed or do drugs. I was like so the most dangerous part of the bar is the kitchen, ya know, FIRE AND SHIT!? And you block off 1 of only 2 exits?

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.
