I work at a grocery store and I’m the opener. Part of what I have to do is the bathrooms. I always do the women’s since I’m a woman and can go in there but when I try to knock on the man’s bathroom door, someone is always in there.
Yesterday, a manager came up to me and complained that it wasn’t being done. I explained how someone’s always in there but he wasn’t having it and told me to “follow up”.
So, I’m just expected to walk into a man’s bathroom and walk in on someone? Really don’t want to see men taking a piss while I’m trying to look at the bathroom. I’m sure the men wouldn’t appreciate being walked in on either.
Plus I’m usually scheduled alone even tho I’m brand new (5th week at this job) because the person who was supposed to come in after me was let go because her background check failed. So, even if I was fine with just walking in, I can’t really do everything at once.
Not sure what I’m supposed to do about it. Do I just continue not doing it? I don’t really have any managers I feel comfortable talking to about it and I can’t tell anyone else in my position because I’m always alone.
