    Font - I got fired for changing in the women's bathroom before my shift Long I have this on another sub but a few people mentioned posting here and I would love a server's point of view. Plus I have a update as of today, June 5th.

    Font - I am so upset I am shaking. I have custody of my niece and our water got shut off. I have a full time job but recently picked up a second job as a server because I need cash to get it back on. I am living off the tips I get. I have to walk to work to save money and it was almost 100 degrees so I was sticky sweaty. I went into the public bathroom, there is no employee bathroom. I was freshening up with my wipes trying to be as quick as possible and I heard a "hi". A kid had crawled under t

    Font - He looked like he was old enough to know better, maybe 10 or 11. I had my back to the door because I have this fear that someone will look through the cracks, irrational and silly but still. I immediately started yelling at him to get out and the little was laughing like he knew it was wrong! I thought maybe his mom was washing her hands or in another stall but nope! This kid was in the women's bathroom alone. I have been in a bar bathroom before and my fight or flight kicked in.

    Font - I chased him out of the bathroom and started asking "who's kid??" very loudly. He was still laughing thinking it was funny. His mom runs up and yanks him towards her screaming "why are you talking to my kid!?". I told her he had crawled under my stall while I was changing. He says "Yeah I almost saw her naked!". The mom starts screaming at me asking "why were you naked in a public bathroom!?" and that I was a predator for "being in the mens bathroom".

    Font - At this point my manager came over to tell everyone to stop yelling and making a scene. I admit I was a bit worked up but an child should be unaccompanied cause for concern, no?

    Font - I told her I was in the WOMEN'S bathroom and she looked at her son and asked if he went into the men or womens and he started to cry saying he was confused and didn't know. The bathrooms are clearly marked. I told her if that was true (it wasn't) then he needs a chaperone to the bathroom if he can't read.

    Font - She threw a huge fit and I got fired because I was still in my probationary period. My boss said I couldn't be freshening up at work or "getting naked" at work. Which I wasn't fu naked! I was sweaty and gross about to start a double shift. We don't have employee bathrooms or changing rooms but are required to change into a uniform.

    Font - Today, June 5th I went back to speak to the manager who is above my boss. Serving jobs in my area are scarce and I really need a job where I get daily tips. He and I spoke and he said he "couldn't risk a child or guest being involuntarily exposed to an employee who is naked/ partially clothed in his restaurant". I WAS IN A BATHROOM STALL. In the post on another sub the majority of people were saying I got fired because I made a scene and was yelling but that wasn't why! It was because a "

    Font - DreamQueen710 - 11 hr. ago Hope that manager doesn't allow any guests wearing rompers or pantsuits to use the restrooms. Because that's what happens when you gotta pee when wearing one of those. 278 Reply Share

    Font - murrimabutterfly 11 hr. ago I think I commented on the original post. Seek out HR. Your privacy was violated and you were wrongfully terminated. If HR isn't an option, seek out a lawyer and see if they can work out a reasonable fee for you. Good luck and massive hugs. 405 Reply Share

    Font - RareMortgage4180. 9 hr. ago What were you thinking, having skin in a public place? You're probably naked under your clothes every day, aren't you? Seriously, though, this is some bulls and I'm sorry you're dealing with it.

    Font - Professional March54. 10 hr. ago See that sounds like grounds for a lawsuit in your favor. Employees have to drop their drawers to use the bathroom. You can't deny them the bathroom because some little squirt MIGHT crawl around under the stalls.

    Font - _Robin-Sparkles. 4 hr. ago out of them. Sue the You were in a private stall in the WOMENS restroom. What youre doing is your business. Let any judge find out they fired YOU for having someone peak under your stall and your boss is gonna be extremely embarrassed. Talk about grounds for a wrongful termination suit lol.
