Greggs toilet drama

[BeZingyKoala]

Out on the York castle walk walk, my daughter declares she needs the toilet. Luckily near a retail estate so trundle off to the Gregg's. Husband buys a bottle of water so we can use the loo. Me and two daughters go in to the only cubicle. Whilst in there someone repeatedly tries the door. Twice I say, sorry we're in here. I can hear her saying I don't know if anyone is in there and her little boy will wet himself soon. Trying the door again, I say louder sorry we're in here. She then says sorry I couldn't hear you. When we come out she tells me how rude I was to raise my voice. My question is, was I rude and else should I have handled this?

Not rude at all! She didn’t hear you at first so no choice but to speak up!

As 'dramas' go, was expecting something more meaty, as it were

What are you even asking this for?

Like a steak bake?

Anyone expecting a toilet tale about that Wallace twat?

If this counts as drama you have a blessed life.

Wow, it’s like the glory days of Crossroads!

I used to work at greggs and the one toilet cubicle was for staff only

I raised my voice because when I used my normal voice I could hear you saying you couldn't hear me. What should I have done?

YANBU for your reaction in the scenario you describe.

YABU for getting our hopes up with the thread title…. I was expecting at least a fist-fight and some angrily hurled sausage rolls!

Yes I was going to say - something with higher steak(bake)s!

Oh

Did you shout at each other through the door?

I would have asked her why she thought nobody might be in there when the door was locked. Stupid woman.

Or a cream slice right in the mush.

Very British problems

Bit of a non issue, you could have just replied ‘you didn’t hear me the first time’.
She was just stressing thinking the toilet isn’t open and her toddler is about to we himself, I’m sure 3 people in the cubicle was taking some time.

I’ve been in plenty of public bathrooms where toilets are locked because there are issues with something and there are no signs, it’s not that abnormal.

What did the police say?

You think this is a drama?

Why do you even care about this nothing event?

You really need to learn how to handle your thoughts and feelings about minor events, instead of dwelling on them like this.

Nothing happened.

Greggs that have tables to eat in have public toilets (as I believe is the law there must be one for eat in?)

Management should give the woman a sausage roll in compensation for being shouted at. Or a steak bake? Or a vanilla slice? Or all three?

Yes you are correct. The branch i worked at was takeaway only

Perhaps this will come up on Crime Watch
