bstix@feddit.dk 2 days agoI have a similar story from a random grocery store.
After a long drive my daughter had to pee and I asked the staff to borrow the restroom and got guided to the back of the stock. It was occupied so we just stood and waited. They left the door/gate between the store and stock open so we could find our way out afterwards. While waiting, other customers started queueing up, so there’s a line of 5 people, who apparently saw us through the gate and figured that they also urgently needed to use the restroom just then for some reason. Nobody usually does this, so I don’t know what gave.
So after 10 minutes or so the door is finally unlocked and a staff member comes out looking all red headed and surprised to see a whole bunch of people just waiting for her to be finished shitting on company time.

That sounds awful. I’m sorry that happened.
Once I was driving on I-95 and developed unexpected diarrhea. I stopped at a nearby Subway and relieved myself there, but it took a while. While I was doing so I heard people in the hallway outside of the bathroom; what I heard was someone saying “wow, you’re all waiting for the bathroom?” Hearing that didn’t help.
My restroom experience in that situation was not positive. My experience of exiting that restroom after hearing that and walking past a long line of people who all had to hear my struggles in there was worse.
