a regular of ours used the bathroom with the door open today at 5:30 in the morning

Yesterday one of our baristas walked into the bathroom to see one of the homeless men that sticks around our store jacking off. She knocked and everything. I’m having a serious conversation with my SM next time I see her about that because I wasn’t there but she continues to enable customers like that and didn’t do anything.

Yeah we had an incident with one of the homeless men getting the bathroom code and walking in on someone because of a regular that thinks they’re important when they answer a question directed towards the staff.

My fiance's last SM knew that a regular continually groped women, and had talked to him about his behavior, but refused to call the police or file a report.

It's my biggest fear because our bathroom is labeled "BARISTA ONLY" and customers still use it on us since we don't have a key or a code
Millerboycls09 12 points 1y ago
Ours says "RESTROOM CLOSED" and people still use it.

One time I was cleaning the bathrooms and had forgot to lock the door behind me. well somebody had gotten a Hershey kiss backsplash piece of art in the toilet bowl and it was making me literally gag. A customer opens the door while I'm mid gag and I'm like *gag noise* "sorry sir we're cleaning this bathroom right now" and then gag again. so I'd say that's my biggest fear is that happening again.

I’m so sorry that happened to you
Alefur 21 points 1y ago
Because they don't. Fucking. Knock.
I can't even count how many times I've been in there and someone aggressively tries to open the door, only to try even more aggressively after I shout "Occupied". Like, th'hell?

Also the same people who like to barge forward and block your way out of the bathroom door, when you're finished. 😤😤😤
victorious_gem 20 points 1y ago
honestly my fear is the other way around, where I walk in a customer && they're like jacking off or something wild 🥴

Happened to me before with a regular. She was so shocked and held eye contact for too long. I usually try and get someone else to help her when i see her come in lol

i’ll lock the door and a customer will jiggle the door handle like it’s just gonna magically open lol
riilss 3 points 1y ago
Invite them in next time it happens

Walked into the employee bathroom at my store (no code no key) and ofc I didn’t knock thinking that the customers could read the big letters in front of the faces at least like I understand the little letters at this point but the BIG letters should be a big sign like “oh maybe I should read this?”
Nope they will not stand to read anything
To make a long story short I opened the door cause it wasn’t locked and mans was taking the fattest shit, thank god he was crouched over himself and I didn’t see anything but it really seemed like he wasn’t having a good time
All I could do was say sorry and shut the door as fast as possible
Then I weakly yelled that this was an employee restroom and not to use it again.

IM SORRY
RexFlex420 4 points 1y ago
Bruh, i lock the bathroom door 10+ times and still think that someone will walk in 😭
clumsycalico 4 points 1y ago
I literally triple check the lock every single time I go in there. Like a compulsion. I could literally be pants down about to sit and no I gotta make sure one more time. 😅😅 Interestingly enough I’ve always done that in Sbux bathrooms in particular and it started years and years before I worked here so now it’s just worse lol
chowderchop 4 points 1y ago
Y’all’s bathrooms don’t have locks?
I just make sure the door is locked whenever I use it, because that has happened to me before but not at Starbucks.

I am old bathroom stuff is not a thing for me. I lived in fear of my drawer being off
ChemicalBarnacle 1 points 1y ago
That’s why I always triple check the lock every time I use the bathroom. That thought gives me so much anxiety!
violetleclaire 1 points 1y ago
i was in the bathroom today and someone started pulling on the door. like fucker it says in use FOR A REASONNNN
ChemicalBarnacle 1 points 1y ago
That’s why I always wait until after closing to go to the bathroom
