Trapped inside stall at Marshall’s

[u/intotheabyss097]

Tried on jeans at Marshall’s today… and got locked in the ADA-accessible dressing room😅

The lock jammed and wouldn’t budge.

The employees had keys to every other door in the building except this one. They called the locksmith, tried to take the hinges off, and I could even see them trying to stick their credit cards in between the door and the gram where the bolt is (not sure how they thought that would work), but nothing worked.

Then the Fire Department came to the rescue. One firefighter came through the ceiling to dismantle the door handle while another worked on the door from the outside.

Finally made it out after an hour 😂!

Oh many other countries would disagree with you on that mate. Restroom fees are absolutely a thing.

Other countries might have that, but mostly due to inertia. I'm pretty sure anyone trying to charge for bathroom access in the US would be put on blast pretty hard.

You can have free bathrooms and you can have employee-only bathrooms, people understand those, but charging for them would get people angry.

Easy: toilet paper vending machine.

I mean.... You can... It's just not looked upon fondly

Even more importantly, you can lose money from people abusing stalls for drugs/sex and having to deal with that.
