today i went to barnes and noble and the litterbox still code locked. what kind of bad and wrong things has anyone done inside a barnes and noble litterbox? and how does putting a code lock stop anyone? when i asked someone, she just told me the code. she didn't demand a receipt.

plenty of merchandise at safeway and cvs and home depot are behind lock and key. it's so f*****g inconvenient to find the one person with the key and ask them to unlock some s**t.


Why do you call the bathroom a litterbox?


"litterbox" sounds better. besides, some bathrooms do not even contain bathtubs. and "restrooms" are not really to "rest".

"litterbox" sounds better than "bathroom".

yesterday, went to safeway for miralax. it was locked. had to ask someone to unlock it for me. he unlocked the miralax, took it, and took it straight to the cashier. he didn't even lemmie touch it. thank buddha i didn't take it personally. maybe he was just fulfilling his job description. i have never seen his job description, so i do not know. (benefit of a doubt). (rolls eyes). it made me feel like he thought i looked/sounded/acted like a thief. but he didn't act like he was responding to me specifically. he acted nonchalant and unemotional. in that situation, i guess, that was a good thing. s**t.

two weeks ago, went to cvs on purpose b/c they do not lock the miralax. but cvs is kind of out of the way for me, unless i am going to trader joe's or ranch 99. safeway is across the street from the train station.

ugh, what the flying f**k ever s**t.

it wasn't even that long ago, when stores did not have merchandise and litterboxes locked up and s**t.

The three jobs I had were cleaning related & involved me having to clean the bathrooms. The bathrooms often got trashed by customers & kids. One time someone had thrown poo on the ceiling in the women's WalMart bathroom. I'm guessing a kid did that. Very luckily I was off that night & didn't come in :mrgreen: The area did not have a homeless problem due to no public transpiration system & no sidewalks. The general area was nothing but stores, businesses, & places to eat.

Been working at Home Depot for over three years.

Half a year ago, Home Depot installed code locks to the bathroom doors.

The past couple years, it seems like plenty of retail stores also installed code locks to the doors.

Just today, noticed the Barnes and Noble (used to go there a couple times a week), just installed a code lock to the bathroom door.

Someone at work said that the reason why Home Depot installed a lock on the bathroom door, was b/c some homeless were "bathing in the sink". (which I have never seen. maybe they allegedly did that when I was not there.)

It is legal to say "customers only" or "employees only".

But saying "no homeless" is "socioeconomic discrimination."

Besides, plenty of customers that look homeless, are not homeless. Some homeless do not look homeless.

Things are not always the way they appear.

It is not possible for the employees to know which person is a "customer" versus which one is not a "customer", until after the customer gets a receipt. After customers get receipts, they have large and heavy merchandise on lumber carts and shopping carts. It would not be functional, to require, ask, or expect customers to take entire carts full of paid merchandise, into the bathroom.

The bathrooms are right next to the employee breakroom. The breakroom does not even have a lock on the door. The breakroom door is almost always open. Customers keep inviting themselves into the employee breakroom and demanding the bathroom code.

______________________________________________________________________

Those of you that have worked in buildings that had code locked bathrooms, what were the good and bad parts of code locked bathrooms?

What kind unusual things have other people done, when you were in the bathroom?

What is a better way than the code locked bathrooms, to minimize bad and wrong things from happening?

I'm pretty sure they can say no homeless if they want to, homeless aren't a protected class. They're just not doing it because of the PR, but they definitely could if they wanted to. The grocery store I used to work at had a ton of problems with homeless drug users ODing in the bathrooms. I think at this point, the only people that actually use them are either people up to no good or those that really can't avoid using them.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of enforcement of crimes around here, that's been the trend where it's been getting harder and harder to gain access to those restrooms. It's really hard on the staff having people OD in the restroom or leaving it an absolute shambles for employees to clean up.

It is no picnic to offer restrooms to the public, let me tell you. I worked night shift in a public building, and one day some lady came up to me highly agitated about the condition of the lady's restroom. Somebody had explosive diarrhea all over the toilet, floor and stall. Apparently the explosion lifted them up off the seat to spray all over the vicinity. Yes, I had to fetch a mop and clean all that up. You can bet I would be in favor of padlocks on the restrooms and a skull and crossbones sign indicating the punishment for trespassing. If you are going to have a gentle society, then there needs to be some kind of consensus about moral behavior. Otherwise the animals take over and you the employee get tasked with cleaning up after them.

TBH, I'd assume that that is what the facilities at the cat house are called.

TBH, I have no idea how I even know what that is, such houses of ill-repute are mostly a thing of the past due to enforcement actions and in areas where it is legal, they're mostly a higher class thing these days. Or at least from what I've heard.
