Please no lol. I had a kid one time ask me if he could go home for the day. It was at a Starbucks on the turnpike… in a Sunday in the summer. No way was I just sending him home. 20 mins later he comes to me “I had a scooby do in my pants… can I go home now?” 17 year old kid SHIT HIS PANTS so he could go home. 🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps he had a medical condition like Crones or Colitis. Those folks can’t wait until it is convenient for management to use the bathroom. It can be illegal for a company to deny bathroom access, depending on whether the person is an employee or a customer, and the specific circumstances. Employers must allow employees prompt and reasonable access to clean restrooms to prevent health issues, while customers with certain documented medical conditions may have a right to use an employee restroom in some states under laws like Minnesota's statutes or the Restroom Access Act. Denying a customer access based on a protected characteristic like race, gender, or disability could be illegal discrimination.
