Pregnant and Entitled.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Yeah, I wish SCs would realise that us refusing to allow access to our staff loo is not cuz we're all big fat meanypants, but cuz it could cost us our jobs if we did. And yeah, the supermarket over the road has a loo, and there's also public loos outside the gym next door as well as the McDonalds round the corner, so it's not as tho the petrol station is located in a loo-less desert!

Also, regarding customer loos; a Greggs in the next town had one til the fateful day that a customer discovered a syringe floating in the bowl. O_o After that little incident, the loos were locked and anyone wishing to use it had to go to the counter and ask. Cue much rage and screaming from SCs. The McDonalds in the same town had to do likewise after a similar incident involving its disabled toilet. And of course, there's the whole trashing of customer loos, shit painting, loo roll theft etc that happens all over the place.

She was totally out of order. Surely there are public toilets in the town? I wonder what she'd have done if you let her go to the toilet and she tripped out back? I can hazard a guess...

Our customer restroom (the only one that is disabled-accessible) is in the grocery back room. There used to be a door between the bathroom/utility sink area and the elevator/actual back room, but it was taken out at some point. Meaning anyone can waltz back there and if caught, say they were looking for the bathroom.

Once when I was helping a woman in a wheelchair shop, a co-irker directed us to the bathrooms downstairs (which, being in an employee-only area and not for customer use, are not officially ADA compliant--he had to have known this) O_o He got on the freight elevator and made sure we went downstairs...you don't see anything wrong with this? We could both get in serious trouble if I'm seen taking a customer down into the stockroom.

As expected, her wheelchair couldn't fit through the door. Cue screaming about how she was going to complain about the 'bathrooms not being compliant'...luckily the MOD knew what co-irker had done (and that my judgment would never be that poor) and the complaint went nowhere.

I remember being let into the staff washroom at Dominion (now Metro). I saw the back room, and to be honest, I was scared. Scared because I could be caught and the employee who let me back there could lose his job, and scared because, well, the back room isn't meant for customers, which made me feel that the place was a bit too dangerous. After I finished my business, I was glad to be back on the grocery sales floor.

On one of the few times I was caught by surprise, I was allowed to use the non-public loo in a small store BUT (1) I was a longtime regular customer, so they knew me; and (2) it was the manager/owner (not exactly sure of her status, but she was definitely Numero Uno) who gave the OK.

My personal rule has always been that anyone who takes the time for a reply other than "Thank you!" or "Sorry, can you please tell me where the nearest I could use is, then?" just isn't as urgent as they say.

We normally would have used the "We don't have a loo" excuse, but she'd been around long enough to hear the loo flushing and wouldn't have bought that.

But...but...that's the best time to use that excuse. Bonus points if the loo flushes AS you are saying you don't have one. Only trick is you have to say it with a straight face.

As someone who is pregnant, it does suck having to pee all the time. It's uncomfortable to hold it in, but possible. She could have gone elsewhere instead of sticking around for 20 minutes to whine about it. I hate entitled pregnant women who give the rest of us a bad name.

I would have told her that someone smeared feces all over the wall and toilet.

[Estil]

When I was little, I obviously couldn't have understood this whole business of being liable and such if someone gets hurt in the bathroom that's not properly made for and insured for the public. Back then I thought businesses just didn't let you use their restroom just because they were mean.

You don't suddenly become entitled once you conceive a kid. This woman was always an entitled bitch and uses her pregnancy (like she probably uses all sorts of other situations) as an excuse to demand things. I've been pregnant and have know many other pregnant women who were perfectly fine. Once she has the child it too will become an excuse for her to demand special treatment, poor kid.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I expect her friends have already outed her entitlement on STFU Parents already. XD

I have to say that I don't understand why women have to play the pregnancy/childed card all the time, but if I dare say anything, those women will immediately hit back with, "What do YOU know?! You don't have kids!" True, but I do know kids as my mum was a childminder (and at times had to tote around ten kids; beat that, entitlemum!) and I helped out, usually with the toddlers, who were experts at getting free and running like the clappers, so had to be held firmly when my mum was doing something which required the use of both her hands, such as wrestling a screaming baby into a nappy. I most certainly do know that kids can be troublesome, which is probably the reason why I don't have any.
