Fuckers. Which branch?

FatFilledTrottyPuss · 20/02/2024 19:06

Fucks sake indeed. It’s always women who have to move over. Mind you, it’s not surprising from the coffee shop who promoted mermaids biscuits. 😤

ANameChangePresents · 20/02/2024 19:06

Discrimination. They have provided unisex facilities for men, but not for women. Worth a complaint to the council?

Mumsnut · 20/02/2024 19:07

Even if the ‘men only’ one only has a urinal in it , it should surely be signposted so that transmen know they are welcome? That or make one of the mixed ones female only

Americano75 · 20/02/2024 19:09

I mean, I'm not being mad here, am I? By all means have your unisex one but one of each with the remaining two!

Glasgow.

And I've complained via their website with the photo. I don't think I've seen this in any other Starbucks near me.

In that situation I'd go in the men's, just to be annoying.

Redshoeblueshoe · 20/02/2024 19:25

Yes it's only women who have to be kind

fruitbat22 · 20/02/2024 19:27

So men can have privacy but women have to share. Absolute bollocks. If they want to do the gender neutral shit at least do it across the board. This is even more insulting.

SpicyMoth · 20/02/2024 19:31

I'm pretty sure that's illegal isn't it???
I'm sure Black Belt Barrister made a video on exactly this type of thing and I'm fairly sure he concluded it's full on illegal, if you're going to do this, you need male, female AND mixed sex, not just mixed sex and male :S

Topofthemountain · 20/02/2024 19:36

I'm trying to make sense of the photo.

Is it one Standalone cubicle with lock at the far end, then at the near a men only multi use, then a mixed sex multi use in the middle?

Three cubicles - one for men, the other two are unisex.

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.

legalseagull · 20/02/2024 19:43

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

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.

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.

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

Froniga · 20/02/2024 19:58

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

Cosmosforbreakfast · 20/02/2024 19:58

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

Blarn · 20/02/2024 20:03

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

whatsappdoc · 20/02/2024 20:04

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

tothesea · 20/02/2024 20:19

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.

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

Silverbirch7 · 20/02/2024 20:37

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

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.
