Texas Gas Station Installs Remote Lock on Outside of Women’s Bathroom

A gas station in Bryan, Texas, was criticized after a woman discovered that it had installed a remote-controlled lock on the outside of a women's restroom. She recorded the entire incident and posted it on X. You can watch the footage by scrolling down to the video at the bottom of this article. Let's break it down.

The video opens with the woman showing us the bathroom area of the gas station. She notes that none of the doors except the one for the ladie's room had a weird device at the top.

So, was this some sort of nefarious plan by the gas station owner to trap women in the bathroom? Possibly, but most of the people in the comments section of the video who are familiar with the device are saying it's normal to have something like that so that the clerk can unlock the door remotely instead of handing out a key and that it was probably just installed wrong.
