You’ve Lived A Privileged Life If You Think THIS Is Discrimination, Part 2

My store has customer restrooms. Today, there was an issue in the men’s room, requiring a plumber to come and make repairs. The plumber requested that we put up a sign that the restroom was out of service while he worked.

Shortly afterward, an older man found me, the closest employee to the restrooms.

Man: *Angrily* “Does the ‘out of order’ sign mean I’m not allowed to use the restroom?!”

Me: “Yes, the men’s room is closed for repairs.”

Man: *Shouting* “This is sexual discrimination!”

He continued to shout a tirade all the way to the front of the store and to the store manager.

The men’s room was closed for maybe two hours, tops. The kicker was that the guy was totally empty-handed; as near as we could tell, he only came into our store, one in a large shopping center, to use the bathroom and then claim discrimination when he picked the one time it was closed for repairs.
