Starbucks Toilets

It's ridiculous and sexist no doubt, but I still want to see India W stand in front of those doors in an agony of indecision until they's head explodes 😂

Let's face it - this pleases no one. Least of all TW. Where's the validation?

If they're individual cubicles opening in to a safe public area I don't see the problem.

What you are saying is, so what? They are only females. It doesn't matter because males are not disadvantaged.

You don't see the problem? Then you have a problem.

Where do non-binary go? Surely they can't go into the toilets labelled for men/women? 😂

Tbh It might be safer to use the men's as the guys in there wouldn't want to cross boundaries

Illegal sex discrimination was my first thought. A separate facility is provided for men but not women.

Send the photo with a full official complaint to Glasgow City Council, citing their statutory duty to reduce discrimination, and to the EHRC x

Starbucks don't pay their taxes properly so everyone is unreasonable for visiting them anyway

I assume you are aware that 3 is a larger number than 2?

It can lead to pee all over the place and the stink of urine.

Well of course, but the solution to that is male-free toilets, not having two mixed-sex and one male-only.

That's unless they install a compulsory sitting-only policy enforced by splashback paint everywhere. IMHO the only way mixed-sex provision can be even remotely acceptable.

There's a meme (or two) for that

Is this in Southend-on-sea? Block of 10 toilets on the seafront, 3 men 7 mixed. I have complained.

I’ve also complained about this at Southend too, drives me mad

I don't really think it matters if they're individual cubicles or not tbh, fact of the matter is that companies are supposed to provide single sex facilities for people.

Having a male cubicle, a mixed sex cubicle and another mixed sex cubicle is not providing a single sex facility for women. It just isn't. Regardless of whether or not it's a single cubicle with a lock or not, they're not providing the spaces that they are supposed to provide - It's discriminatory against women.

I think this was the BBB video I was most remembering, he didn't use the word illegal himself but in this one, but I also think I'm thinking of two different videos to be fair.

Yes, you are right; and from that Netflix image it is apparent that reducing the women’s facilities is the default. It needs to stop.

MrsKeats · 20/02/2024 21:13

Why would you be supporting Starbucks anyway?
People are boycotting them.

There are two other Starbucks near me that I go into, neither have the same toilet set up. One most definitely has male and female toilets. I wonder if Starbucks is a franchised operation, like McDonald's?

Popped into Starbucks earlier and when I went to the Ladies...

Fuck's sake.

Pop back and take the male figure off the far right toilet! I think someone has removed the female off the one in the left. It’s not centred.

Silverbirch7 · 20/02/2024 20:37

Starbucks is so filthy I wouldn't go in any of them tho tbh

In that case they can all be mixed sex. Having a penis isn't a contagious disease yiu can catch by using a cubicle that also happens to have a urinal in it.

The Krispy Kreme in Edinburgh has a Male, Disabled and a Gender Neutral toilet. I complained to the blue haired staff.. they couldn’t have given less of a fuck.

Starbucks usually have individual cubicals with a loo and a sink, they are always unisex. Is the mens' one a urinal?

Cosmosforbreakfast · 20/02/2024 19:58

That is Starbucks added to the ever growing list of places I will never step foot in again.

Froniga · 20/02/2024 19:58

It’s easy! Just boycott Starbucks! Plenty other places to grab a coffe and a bite to eat.

You don't see a problem with them providing men with 1.5 times the facilities they provide men?

PinkFrogss · 20/02/2024 19:46

Are they all individual cubicles? Unless the one marked as men’s is a urinal I’d assume half the sticker has peeled (or been peeled) off and it’s also unisex.

GrumpyPanda · 20/02/2024 19:44

ScrollingLeaves · 20/02/2024 19:40

Normally I’d agree with being annoyed, and I am annoyed on principle about why no women only (without splashed pee) if there is a man only. In this case though, aren’t these all single rooms behind each door? If so, in the mixed sex ones no woman would ever be in there alone with a man, which is something.

In that case they can all be mixed sex. Having a penis isn't a contagious disease yiu can catch by using a cubicle that also happens to have a urinal in it.
