A woman said that two men walked in on her in a Primark unisex changing room has urged others to never go in them alone.
Charlotte Kirby, from Cambridge, was visiting the clothes store when she revealed two men attempted walking in on her while she tried outfits on in an almost empty changing room.
The event manager, 25, took to her TikTok @charlottemkirby to convey an emotional video to alert other customers and to clarify what had occurred, saying she will never try garments on in-store again.
Crying in her car, she said that she probably shouldn’t be doing the video while she was so emotional but felt she had to get the word out there.
She said that she was just in Primark in Cambridge and that she felt really foolish being so emotional about it, but she was trying on some clothes, and that it was a unisex changing room which she’s really for and that she loves that it’s unisex because then it makes everyone feel included, but not once, but twice two men opened the curtain and walked in on her. Luckily both times she was fully attired, but she could have easily not been.
The TikToker explained how it was two different people, but that they were undoubtedly from the same group.
She continued that there were probably 100 changing rooms available, so it wasn’t like ‘Is there someone in here or not?’
She said the first time was as they walked in they did it and the second time, was like one of them said to the other, ‘Have you tried it on, can I see?’ and he opened it, and that both times she was stunned and said sorry like it was her fault, but she added that Primark had been great, and they were really good about it and they even walked her back to her car because she was afraid.
She said that evidently, it’s not the first time it’s happened and security is watching back on tapes, attempting to find out who it is.
She said she just wants people to be cautious, and that if they do go into a changing room that they should try not to go alone and that she will never be doing that again. She would rather take it home, try it on and take it back to get a refund if the items are no good.
Unisex changing rooms are all very good for inclusion, but they should have lockable doors on them, not just a curtain. Toilets have them, so why shouldn’t changing rooms? Sadly there will be more and more of these unisex changing rooms until there is an extremely bad outcome. Girls should be protected and women should be respected. But then this is what you get for going woke, you go broke.
Unisex changing rooms should have lockable doors, but even then a man could climb up in the cubicle next to you and see you changing because the doors wouldn’t be up to the ceiling, and that applies to a lot of places.
The most logical thing would be to put solid doors in the changing rooms so that they can be locked, and also to have someone in the changing room area to keep an eye on things, but of course, that would cost too much money and manpower, but then we don’t actually need solid doors, alarms and manpower, just stop unisex changing rooms, it’s really that simple.
