I hate the idea of pass codes on restrooms. Agree or disagree?

[Kingofkings1992]

This is one of the most anti customer things ever thought of.

Looks like most girls AND most dudes agree with me. Guess the things I take issue with are not strange after all

[NordicInScandinavia]

😅 The things you take issues with are hilarious at times.

But to answer your question, I do not mind companies putting locks on their restrooms - it's not a public place, and is not "anti customer", what it might eliminate is people who are NOT customers of said establishment using their restroom and making a mess of it; and thus locks are actually "pro customer".

10/10 I'd rather use a locked bathroom rather than unlocked.

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes. I get it. A lot of riff raff likes to come and trash the bathrooms and use drugs, but as a paying customer it’s kind of an inconvenience

[NordicInScandinavia]

I'll survive that small "inconvenience" in exchange for a clean floor to walk on and a clean toilet to sit on.

[lightbulb27]

I agree, but how do you feel about being required to do restroom duty for low pay as a required part of your civic service? I'm fine with that.

the problem is idiots... we just don't beat and discipline our people. I just had to explain to my kid... again, they need to flush the toilet and that I cleanup the place better than when I left it. So many people are selfish like #$!@#!@ heads and if they are not trained, it only takes a few to screw everyone else. That is the general rule of life.

When I went to UK... restrooms were shut down because some idiots destroyed them. The public makes available an important function and a few idiots ruin it.

[Levin]

Why do you call it a restroom? Do you have a nap in there?

Anyway, I don't really think I've seen them in England. More a dingy pisspot, covered in flies in some cases.

And yes, I don't see the issue with the general public having a piss somewhere, even if they're not a customer. It's just a human function that you can't get out of. But really, there should be more public toilets, sorry, restrooms, that people can make use of.

[Flower7]

I don’t see the problem with it. It helps there to be less people in and out of the bathroom so it stays cleaner. And if someone is a paying customer, then getting the code shouldn’t be an issue. The problem is when random people want to walk in and they realize they can’t get into the bathroom…which is exactly what the business is trying to avoid in the first place.

[Kingofkings1992]

Is there something wrong with needing to use the bathroom somewhere? What is the issue with that? The issue is not people legitimately using the restroom on the go. It’s drug users who will spend hours in there. Having to ask for a code almost makes me feel like I’m asking permission to go to the bathroom FFS. I’m not a god damn 6 year old. Make drug addiction, mental health, and homeless services more widely available. Putting a lock on the restroom is not the answer. That’s just punishing people who are supporting the business. I can assure you, this is NOT a strange thing to be taking an issue with. This is a very widely held sentiment, most people just aren’t as vocal as I am being. @Flower7 @nordicinscandinavia

[NordicInScandinavia]

Not once did I mention drug addicts, homeless or mental health. I just said it was an odd take and expressed my opinion about it which you seem have taken to heart. I apologise for that.

But in that case then this IS an extremely strange thing to take issue with when you take into comparison to issues that actually matter - few you went and mention yourself: addiction (drugs not being the only one), homelessness, mental health issues.

And perhaps this is a huge issue within the US where people are making a big ass issue out of it but I must tell you that isn't the case here. In fact I think most are like me and don't even give a fuck.

[Kingofkings1992]

@NordicInScandinavia sometimes using a restroom can be an urgent need. no one wants to have to track down a staff member in a situation like that. It’s also an infringement on privacy to basically have to announce to others that you have to use the restroom. Don’t get how you don’t understand that. Also, a coded door is kind of irrelevant as to whether or not the bathroom is kept clean.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Lol, then go outside dude. Hold yourself it is possible EVEN when "urgent" but guess you haven't learned to hold your blatter yet.

It definitely does. The difference in-between OPEN public restroom Vs the stores restroom where a key is needed shows that.

Like dude, you're having bigger issues with me not wanting to agree with you than I'll ever do about having to ask for a key. Heck di you rage as much when you need to ask permission to borrow a private persons bathroom? The audacity they they're forcing you to ask to use what is theirs. They're so rude and just creating a inconvenience for the little one here. I mean the aucadicy of them infringing on your privacy, it's SO embarrassing that others know you peeing - tis APPALLING. Like disgusting

I get it tho, not everyone can handle shit during the day - some of our nerves are a bit thinner and thus less needed for us to having huge issues about shit, even minor things like this.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Let's just agree to disagree because I'll NEVER be walking in as such small shoes as you clearly do.

Truly, I feel sorry for you and your nerves.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Tho I must add that this site and the American men on here makes me semi understand why people are having huge ass issue with genderless restrooms. Something we've had for YEARS and YEARS without me having issues with it but I'd be terrified being in a bathroom with an Murican male.

Perhaps this is just as cultural - you Americans simply having

[Kingofkings1992]

@NordicInScandinavia lol , you are hilarious. You couldn’t go through half what I have been through in life, and still keep going. We’ll agree to disagree. Thanks for the laugh 😂

[NordicInScandinavia]

To little to do and to much time on your hands while creating drama out of nothing. I'll just take that one. Cultural and VERY small shoes.

PS. It's natural to go to the bathroom, no need to be embarrassed that anyone else knows - they won't be walking around the store telling everyone that you're in need of peeing.

Guess you pee yourself ass soon as there a smaller line to the bathroom - adult diaper is fair game. (Since you can't hold yourself while walking up to store member and ask for a passcode) you're a bit to young for being THAT bad at holding your blatter so I suggest seeing the doctor if you can afford one.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Lol, let's just pretend that's the case mister "I can't handle asking for a pass code without it being a huge deal".

[NordicInScandinavia]

Cute that you think you can handle shit in the world when a passcode is enough to get you this upset.

[Kingofkings1992]

@NordicInScandinavia there’s a difference between handling the hardships and putting up with bullshit. You clearly haven’t figured that out yet. See ya ✌️

[NordicInScandinavia]

Lol, whatever you need to say to make yourself look better here.

Have fun in your shoes for 6 year olds - you seem to be able to handle as much as they on a everyday. 😘

[NoDecision]

Anti customer? Do you let people off the street use your restroom? If you are not a customer they don't have to let you use their restroom or every homeless vagrant in the area would be in your business. There are enough actual customers that take exception to a messed up order that cause problems, even people being shot or attacked, just because they didn't get ketchup with their fries.

[GetJinxed]

... you realize the slippery slope this creates, right? All this does is increase the amount of people who piss and shit outside for you to see. Wow. So much better. 🙄

[NoDecision]

@GetJinxed They are going to do that anyway when the businesses are closed. And do it in their door way at that.

[GetJinxed]

... when they're closed. Now imagine how much more frequent it will be when all business do this.

[GetJinxed]

Sorry but the idea of living in a world where we value monetary gain over cleanliness, empathy, and human dignity is not one I want to live in. Let people pass and shit inside, it is not that big of a deal and definitely beats having someone shit in your bushes outside. Let's be honest, if you're okay with turning someone away who clearly is desperate to use the toilet, you deserve a mud pie outside your door.

[NoDecision]

@GetJinxed It should be up to the city to put in public restrooms. I pay rent and my restrooms are for paying customers. Some shops have pay toilets. But city restrooms, like in parks, have free restrooms. The bigger cities usually do, especially if they have subways. But they also have more crime in public restrooms, like drug dealers, women raped, and gays sharing stalls and all that goes along with that. No one wants this stuff going on in their own shop. Would you?

[GetJinxed]

It should be, but clearly they don't care enough to do it. All I can say is it's your choice, but I personally hope someone leaves a steaming mud pie for you outside your front door. 👌

[NoDecision]

@GetJinxed Like I said, they will do that if I let them use my restroom or not. They are not that choosy when it comes to dropping a deuce. 😫 Maybe they should "drop" in at the mayor's front door. Then maybe they will get public restrooms.

[GetJinxed]

They might not have to if you let them use the toilet when they ask. 🙃

[jshm2]

You should be asking for the level of fuckery that occurred, to necessitate the need for a passcode.

I am sure you talk a good game, but you would be off work for a week if you were to come into a restroom smeared in shit. Even so desperate you still had to use it and still felt unclean as you had to clean all surfaces with the loo roll before trusting them to touch.

[purplepoppy]

Never seen that here. Last thing I want is the turtle touching the cloth and having to ask permission like I'm a little child.

[Staximus]

If you ever worked somewhere that was open to the public like a store or restaurant in a neighborhood where there are homeless people, you would know why there's a combination on the bathroom door. Because you are going to be cleaning shit off the floor, wall, sink, etc.

[TrimmedTip]

Agree — it’s super annoying, especially when you really have to go! I get it’s to keep restrooms clean and safe, but when you're a paying customer or in a rush, having to ask for a code feels unnecessary. Just let people pee in peace.

[Shiprex]

I've traveled a bit and some coffee shops have this because there are some chancers who just come in order a coffee and spend the day using the internet so the code is on the receipt for their item and it resets after an hour or so.

[zagor]

Yep, and even though I live in a safe 'burb, fast food places around here are starting to use them.

[exitseven]

Come up with a solution to keep junkies from going in the rest room to shoot up let the store keeper know. I am sure the locks will be removed.

[Kingofkings1992]

Send them to an island and nuke it? LOL jk

[Tamera952]

Well, it’s better than getting a grubby poop encrusted key isn’t it?

[midnightmoon05]

I like how the bathrooms are clean in Europe because of this. I prefer.

[just_a_potato]

I actually think this is a really good solution for a lot of things lol

[DrPepper12]

AGREE but in Manhattan I understand the reasons for controlling access. Most times it's stupid.

[Anonymous]

Anti customer? Dude, they're protecting their bathrooms FOR their customers by preventing riffraff from fucking them up.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Shh, don't get him rattled up. His emotions are already up on the high due to those pass codes. 😅 These nerves can't handle to much in one day.

[Kingofkings1992]

@nordicinscandinavia. Right. Says the girl boot licking people who are throwing BS inconveniences in her way. LMAO

[NordicInScandinavia]

@Kingofkings1992

Lol, yes says the one who doesn't get emotional over a locked bathroom in a private establishment. Have fun with your thin nerves, hope your bladder doesn't force you to make others know you have to pee pee.

[NordicInScandinavia]

@Kingofkings1992

Now I've the time.

Listen here little one. The establishments is NOT infringing on your privacy, they offer a service that they're not required too which you can choose to use or not.

That you take this as this huge invasion of privacy is HILARIOUS and thanks for making me laugh. It's an amazing day.

[Opinion Owner]

@NordicInScandinavia This guy is obviously one the ones who scratches gang signs on the mirror, writes his phone number on the wall and pees on the toilet seat because he's too lazy to lift it up first. Because only people like that don't understand why businesses have had to resort to limiting access to their restrooms to protect their customers from people like him.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Lol, because that's the ONLY mes people can do shit.

Asking to borrow a god damn bathroom is NOT a punishment. Jesus Christ. Victim much? 😂😂

I have no weird fetish, I just don't find it embarrassing that I need to pee, like you seem to. Again you asking to borrow something in someone else's establishment is not them invading your privacy as you would like to make it out - to justify you being a victim and make a big deal out of this.

Actually, tolerating shit throughout the day shows that your nerves ain't shattered but then we have people like you, who'll feel THIS offended and victimised from asking from a passcode for a god damn door.

Oh cute little

[NordicInScandinavia]

Cute little one, making up stats - trying to convince a stranger that you're a "big strong man"

But ey, keep throwing in shit to justify why you're in this right to be feeling Ike this big ass victim where the big companies are invading your privacy when you wish to borrow their service.

Have a good day with your thin nerves and small blatter. Cross my fingers no accidents happen for you.

[NordicInScandinavia]

But muting this question now.

I'm tired of you desperately throwing more shit in here, in hope I'll see how unjustified this action is towards you & how hard it is for you to be punished like this, this is even taking a hit on your dignity.

People in this world deal with real shit. But thanks for the laughter for the past days.

PS. Not everyone lives in such dangerous countries that they require security guards in most common stores for safety. Another cultural difference here. Wuhu. 🥳

[Surely]

Depends on what you have to do to get the pass code. But I can understand keeping the riff raff out of the restroom.

[Jeff51]

It does keep out the bums and low life's from messing it up.

[blackeagle007]

What’s the purpose of that? Locks I get, why a passcode?

[Gwendoline]

Yes but some places definitely need it

[WonderingManII]

I never seen one before.

[kavakava]

Yes, but we all know why they're doing it.

[beefcakebradybatson]

BOY, HOWDY !!!

[Anonymous]

They don't have that in my country.

[dustybiker2]

It keeps them clean

[jimmy2]

Just pee on them
