Nothing worse than the standard American corporate building restroom system - each floor has one or two bathrooms per gender and each company has to give keys to the employees when they go to the bathroom. Aside from being annoying (how many times have you wanted to go but there's no key?), people lose the keys and well, they may not wash their hands.
Do these buildings do this for security? I'll never understand. In my current office we share a few bathrooms with one other company but there's no key at least.
- munin 9y ago> Do these buildings do this for security? Yes. One building we were in had a problem where people would walk in off the street, then hide in the bathroom to attack or mug people. The hope with the key protocol is that potential attackers would enter, try the bathroom door, see it was locked, then leave. Cheaper than having a security guard 24/7.
- toomanybeersies 9y agoWhere do you live that bathroom muggers are an occupational hazard? That's bizarre.
- the_jeremy 9y agowait. Other people seem to be reacting like you're serious. Are you serious?
- munin 9y agoYes, I’m serious. Why would I joke about someone getting mugged in the bathroom?
- driverdan 9y agoThis is not a common thing. This is only going to happen in high crime areas. Full building access control is a necessity if you are in an area like this. Locking the bathrooms is not a good solution.
