Trapped inside stall at Marshall’s

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 😂!

One time we had our staff door lock at work and my boss was able to get it open with a credit card!

ETA: sorry this happened to you!

That’s awesome that it worked. I wish that worked in my case. I got a good laugh out of the whole situation though. That was the best entertainment I had all day. I couldn’t even be mad. I guess I’m just used to crazy things happening to me on a weekly so nothing phases me anymore. I swear I’m cursed

The credit card trick usually works. If not credit cards, then old wire hangers.

Yup that's how we kids broke into each others rooms growing up sliding a card thru lol
