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

Fuck's sake.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

There's a meme (or two) for that

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.

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

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

Bulkypeepants · 21/02/2024 07:33

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

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

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

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.

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?
