To complain about blatant sexism?

I was shopping in Primark with my DH and DS. DH went to take DS into the changing rooms (in the kid's section, not gendered) and the female member of staff stopped him, saying he wasn't allowed in. When DH asked why she said "men aren't allowed in the children's changing rooms. DH pointed out that he was accompanying a child, not going on his own and the woman replied "yeah but there are other kids in there, it's just not right is it?" He was so annoyed that we just left, WIBU to complain to the manager?

In H&M where I live the maternity clothes are in the kids shop and you have to share the changing room. There are no cubicles just a curtained area. It seemed a bit silly to me, as there could easily be a man in there helping a child, or older children. Would make more sense to have maternity clothes in the adult shop or separate changing rooms.

I would definitely complain OP - this is mad! As pp said - surely the point of a children's changing room is that parents will go in with them. Otherwise if they are old enough to manage on their own/don;t like the idea of adults or children of the opposite gender being in there they can go in the single sex ones.

In the primark closest to me menswear is on the basement and childrenswear on the top floor. It would be ridiculous to expect dads to have to take a child down four floors to try something on!

Don't the childrens changing rooms still have cubicles anyway?
