Testimonials
“This store has locked restrooms, customers can’t get a code, after walking to back, then front, then back of the store again to ask for an employee to unlock the door, I had a very long wait. No response, had to go back up to the front to ask again. In front of customers, since no other employee could be found on the floor. How about if the store management chooses to leave the door unlocked and let their customers keep a shred of dignity?”
