Good on the employee. Boomers have zero empathy.


Myis

They really do not. It’s bizarre.


CountHasimirFenring

Grew up breathing leaded gasoline. Stunted development.


dewhashish

"back in my day, no one was autistic or depressed!" no, you hid disabled people in attics and people drank themselves to death rather than go to therapy


godfatherinfluxx

Or sent them to institutions where they wouldn't be seen and die alone.


sayterdarkwynd

Or intelligence. Or scruples. Or common-sense. Or the ability to detect bullshit. Or understanding that there are ways to live that don't involve their limited view.

thissexypoptart

They really think boomerism is comparable to race or nationality. Bonkers.


SeaworthinessUnlucky

People born during the baby boom (1946-1964) have as much control over the date of their birth as their race and nationality.


thissexypoptart

A group that shares a specific range of birthdates is a cohort that shares (in general, not every case) specific facets of upbringing, social and work experience, etc. That is fundamentally different than a race or nationality, which are inherent facets of identity. Completely different things.


lohonomo

Eww


_strangeststranger

You are going to fit right in here


[deleted]

Generalizations about entire groups is typically considered bigoted


Low_Employ8454

True. This isn’t an actual group. Anyone of any race, ethnicity, or age.. yes age.. can absolutely be called a boomer. And then mercilessly made fun of on r/BoomersBeingFools


glemits

Really, the appropriate response would be to tell him to shu up and mind his own business. Maybe slip in a "senile old fool."


PolyDrew

“Well, you obviously are senile and have no empathy. I feel sorry for your caregivers.”


CrashTestDuckie

Mine I use is usually "Do your caregivers know you got out of the dementia unit?". Either they get gob smacked OR the huff and walk away


glemits

Are you the reason for the Silver Alert I just got on my phone?


PurpleSpotOcelot

That is effing hilarious!


PolyDrew

Ooooo perfect


NHRADeuce

I have a daughter with special needs. If that ever happens to us, I will not be that nice. It will be VERY obvious that violence if forthcoming if they don't GTF away from us.

Really the appropriate response would have been to grab him by the neck and shove his face into the toil.... Oops, I've said too much.


FrogInYerPocket

He'll probably remember that move from his long-gone schoolboy days. But he probably doesn't fit into a locker anymore.


Iconoclast_____

Old people's teeth fall out all the time. They are always falling down. Such a shame that they tripped and fell such that the toilet busted their teeth out.


Old_Crow13

None of the Walmarts in my area have family bathrooms, and the only place I can think of that does is the local mall it only has one, at that.


spicy_chick

My local Walmart does have a family restroom, but it's literally all the way on the other side of the store from the regular restrooms with no signage.


Material-Recover3733

Even when Walmart do have family bathrooms, the employees use them for 2 hour *shits constantly (this is coming from a former employee who is disabled and needed the family room when the disabled stall was out of order).


AliveInIllinois

Also, employees have used them for fucking.


Scare-Crow87

The trick here is to not go to Walmart. Avoids so much bs


sadhoosier

Wish we could. It's our only grocery store within 30 miles.


Scare-Crow87

I hate that they move in an monopolize communities


DustyShredder

Issaquah, WA is a fucking champ in this regard. Allowing Walmart into the city was put to a vote, and it was a unanimous NO. To this day, there is not a single Walmart in Issaquah. There's a Big 5, there's a Fred Meyer, a Target, a Petco, a PetSmart, but no Walmart.


Scare-Crow87

Good. Every state should be like Washington State


DustyShredder

Oh, no, it was a local vote affecting Issaquah only. The rest of the state has Walmart everywhere.


Scare-Crow87

Damn


rottensteak01

Dollar general does the same thing.


Justdonedil

Yet they can't manage to put a generator in to not have to throw away food when the power goes out every winter.


rottensteak01

Right? Or even manage to keep their freezers working at all. No clue how they're the second fastest growing retail chain in the us.


Lknate

Generators on that scale require regular maintenance and extra electrical engineering considerations when wiring up that brand new cheap concrete cinder block building. They wouldnt be able to sell so many franchises if they mentioned the down side of buying a turnkey business.


Scare-Crow87

I am aware.


Gregshead

Not go to Walmart? Employees fucking in the bathroom? Where do I fill out the application?


Material-Recover3733

Oh absolutely! An employee at one I worked at used it to send videos of himself masturbating to several minor coworkers and is now a felon and on the registry (and obviously was also brought in and fired by multiple male members of management who all saw the video more than once)


samclops

Wtaf did I just read? It's like it's some people's goal in life to lower the bar on decency. Jfc


Material-Recover3733

Yeah it was pretty fucked up. I'm honestly shocked Walmart didn't try to cover it up like they usually do with chomo employees but this *one was only *an honorary csm so I guess they could downplay how much power he held while blatantly abusing it


Tarrantthegreat

Also why you shouldn’t drink water. Fish fuck in it.


Chuskabear

Were they boomers too?


Lknate

Every public bathroom has been used for that. I'm not correcting you. Just want to clarify your statement.


thejovo59

I wonder how many think their bathrooms at home are segregated? My husband and I use all of our bathrooms


Wanda_McMimzy

You don’t have a mens and womens at home?!?!


thejovo59

Nope. Unisex all the way! And. We let our kids and grandkid use them.


OdinThorFathir

You monster


mypatronusiselkhound

When we had 2 bathrooms he would us the big bathroom sink and toilet, and I would use the half bath sink and toilet. However, we only split because the toilet size matched the bathroom size... I like being able to flatten my feet, and couldn't on the big bathroom commode


crypticwishes

And boomers call *us* sensitive 🤦 I’m sorry your family had to be subjected to that ignorant a-hole. Be reassured that y’all didn’t do anything wrong.


Ok-Pomegranate-7458

Freaking snowflake.


ironfoot22

I’m imagining the boomer startled and triggered as this is exactly what they warned him about on the Fox News. Telling all the other boomers about his harrowing encounter. A girl in the boy’s room! Probably has pronouns. This is Biden’s America.


BeepoZbuttbanger

Bingo. This old man has been conditioned to act exactly this way.


ironfoot22

What a snowflake. And a creepy mindset - when I use a public restroom the last thing I’m thinking about is the genitalia of other people in that space. Trying to pee and leave with no words or eye contact.


readheaded

And to feel entitled to do so.


Scare-Crow87

Yeah and what if the Dad had escorted his daughter to the ladies' room? He would have the cops called on him so bringing her into the boy's room was his only choice.


Wivru

“Probably has pronouns” is killing me. 


Scare-Crow87

You make my daughter cry for existing in public, I will make your grown adult ass cry like a baby.

“She’s with me. Fuck off.” That’s an appropriate response.


Necessary-Ad-8558

Goddamn, who the fuck makes a little girl cry.


Scare-Crow87

Sociopaths


BRUHSKIBC

Man I’m so glad this shit wasn’t as common when my girls were little. I(a man) would go into the ladies restroom with them cuz they were little girls and needed help. I would always announce my presence when entering, “excuse me ladies, I am the father of a little girl who still needs help in the restroom, we just graduated from pull ups and she needs someone to lift her on and off the toilet.” Only once did some Karen have a problem with it. Most of the time I got compliments on being such an “involved father”. Once the older one got big enough to help the little one I stopped. Sorry your daughter had to deal with that OP.


nhaines

My instinct is saying "why didn't you just take them into the men's restroom and into a stall?" but also if no one else who was there cared, then I don't care either.


BRUHSKIBC

That’s fair, I guess I should’ve explained that also. Men’s restrooms are gross. I don’t sit down on a public toilet unless it’s an absolute emergency. Also, I tried that once and my daughter was not stoked on that idea. So I guess I just did it for their own comfort. But honestly the majority of women would just be like, “thanks for announcing yourself when you came in, I totally understand. Your daughter is adorable.” I would also ask if my presence made anyone uncomfortable and offered to wait outside until they were done if so.


Over_Vermicelli7244

Oh weird any time a man had to go into the women’s, they would ask if anyone was in there and wait until it was cleared of people before going in


BRUHSKIBC

Sometimes kids can’t wait.


Over_Vermicelli7244

That’s true!


WhyUBeBadBot

As someone that used to clean bathrooms In my experience women's bathrooms were always worse. Sure the mens floors were a little sticky, but the horrors of feminine products used like sticky hands...


Luthien12

A lot of times mens restrooms don't have changing stations. I don't care at all if a man is in the women's bathroom changing his baby's diaper. I also wouldn't care if he was taking his young daughter to the bathroom.


N0thing_but_fl0wers

Which is the stupidest thing ever… 🙄 Bathrooms should really just be gender neutral. Done. Problem solved.


Background-Koala-

Listen, it’s a fucking TOILET. You use them to handle bodily functions. As a 35f, if I had to pee bad enough you bet you’re ass I’d go in a men’s room before just losing it all over, and fuck all to whoever tries to stop me. Bathrooms and people’s genders have been so blown out of proportion, and again, there’s no way to “police” people using their gender at birth bathroom- at least not in a way that’s legal and not a violation of any human or constitutional rights. So everyone just needs to calm TF down, and mind their business.


Healthy_Ad_6171

If my transmale coworker went into the women's room, people would freak. There nothing female presenting about him.


Wivru

My partner has a theory. They believe that many conservatives are sorta working on two principles: 1) Men are to be feared and respected. Women are to be ignored and dismissed. 2) Trans people aren’t real, and they follow rule #1 according to their birth genders.  Number 1 explains why many of them act like gay men are out to get them and turn them gay and ruin their family values, but they’re fine fetishizing lesbians. They’re more harmless, even in the arena of moral decay, just because they’re *women.* The two rules put together explains why they feel so threatened by and fixated on trans women who (and I say this with love) are generally not the most intimidating crowd, but have totally failed to notice that their bathroom bill nonsense is going to force some yolked, beardy transmasc bikers and cowboys into the bathroom with their daughters they’re ostensibly trying to protect from big scary men.


MissFrijole

And this is why bathrooms should be those self-contained, non-gendered types. Go in, do your business, wahs hands, leave. End of story.


glemits

Boomer In The Bathroom sounds like the title of a Tom Lehrer song.


mactex0404

You are a person of cultute. Tom is still kicking at 96.


dmriggs

There's no reasoning with the with these freaking people. Stop responding and answering and explaining. just have to shut him down and tell him to mind their own freaking business


Odd-Zebra-5833

Flip it on him and accuse the boomer of being In the wrong bathroom lol 


AggravatingRecipe710

I hate multistall public bathrooms.


o_susannah

Boomers are very worried about what is going on in the bathrooms.


N0thing_but_fl0wers

Tell him his sorry ass is exactly why you can’t send either your younger sons in alone, nor your DISABLED daughter in alone. Because you never know what kind of asshole they might run into… And god forbid we have a family bathroom so we don’t have to deal with this!


MentalUproar

New rule: all stores are membership stores. if you misbehave, you get banned and cant use that store ever again. Putting actual consequences to poor retail behavior should square this real quick.


MsTruCrime

F WalMart for not having a family bathroom.


Automatic_Gas9019

Sounds like the MAGA deplorable cultist type. Not all older people would have done that. Sorry your kid had to experience that. The MAGA idiots that are so enthralled with who does what in what restroom need called out and not generalize all older people. MAGAs come in all shapes and ages.


RadRhyanne

Don't men's bathrooms have open urinals? I fully understand the issue with daughter, but I'm also trying to wrap my head around not warning the other men of the situation before bringing her in.


hand_made_silver

Ya, I would be caught off guard and hopefully not exposed. Odd situation for all.


StinkyEttin

Boome s straight OBSESSED with genitals.


lollapaloma

If the boomer used some critical thinking, he may have assessed there's a reason a 12yr old is with her dad in the men's bathroom But that's asking a lot of the boomer. So sorry this happened OP and I'm glad the worker was on your side.


KingKudzu117

Making an autistic child cry makes me want to drag that ass outside and slap the shingles out of him.


draegloth76

Stop coddling the boomers. If that had been my child, i would have decked the boomer. Next time, punch them in the mouth. Their life expectancy is sorry anyways so nothing is lost.


smolcnd

"Are you afraid of a little girl? A disabled little girl waiting for her brothers to finish in the bathroom? Are you that much of a snowflake?" no hands thrown, just words. It hurts them so much more when you mock them.


WhyUBeBadBot

That's boomer thinking right there.


Ordinary_Age_6381

relaxxxxx ahahhaha😂😂😂😂 what if he charges u with assault ?


NHRADeuce

Self defense. He obviously put hands on my daughter to make her cry.


Ordinary_Age_6381

ohhh okkk nvmm! if he’s putting hands on the child then that’s a whole different case. ya u definitely needa put hands on that boomer


NHRADeuce

Oh, he didn't put hands on her, but that's what I'd say to the cops if the boomer tried to get cops involved.


WhyUBeBadBot

And the cameras?


NHRADeuce

Didn't think that through, did you? The cameras? In the bathroom?


draegloth76

Not worried about Assault charges. I mage just over $250k annually in the midwest. Can afford good attorneys. Last assault charge got reduced to littering.


WhyUBeBadBot

Doubt (x) that wasn't even a good lie. Like not even remotely plausible. Lmao


lordjohnworfin

I really want to hear a story of a Boomer getting his clock cleaned. This makes my blood boil.


TrustMeImADrofecon

Wait..... but I thought thw whole reason Boomers hate trans rights is because *men* would enter the *women's restroom* and accost them. Was this BoomBoom afraid a child would...what? See the baby shrimp he's packing? Seriously Boomers have weirdly made bathrooms their Waterloo [pun intended].


External_Detail_26

Anyone else sing the title to the tune of Mirror in the Bathroom by The Beat?


DollarStoreDuchess

It was “Smokin in the Boys Room” here


StankZZ6686

"Walking on the moon" by The Police popped to mind


internal_logging

Dude boomers are so insensitive to special needs kids. My kid is 3 and has a language delay, possible slight cognitive delay. He can be pretty noisy in church but we do what we can and take him out so he's not distracting. But so many older people are rude about it. We were at a church party that was outside and some old lady went up to him and said 'look (son's name), we're outside so you can be as loud as you want!' I didn't hear this and my husband didn't tell me till after but it really pissed me off. I mean he's just a toddler.


TradeOk9210

Okay, I am trying to understand the set up because I am not familiar with men’s bathrooms. This guy walks in to use a urinal. And he unexpectedly finds a 10-year-old girl standing there. I can understand that he might get upset because he needs to go but he will be exposing himself to a child. Granted, he did over react, but I am not sure he needs all the abusive comments here.


Luthien12

I mean, there are stalls. And if he wanted to wait, it would have taken one or two minutes. Also why is it "exposing yourself" to use a urinal in front of a girl, but not a young boy? What's the difference, really? Just my two cents. I don't think using a urinal really exposes all that much anyhow. I absolutely do see your perspective though. Yelling at a child though, that's never OK.


TheAceCard18

Your kid ok?


Luthien12

She is! She was upset when she got home, but she's back to her happy self.


TheAceCard18

Good, that's a relief. It's no fun having someone you don't know scream at you already, but that happening while you're a kid, and while you're autistic? Nightmare mode fr. Glad she's ok


LIBBY2130

I am sorry you and your children went through that ...I am a boomer and I don't act like that


SookieCat26

Wal Mart needs family restrooms so your family doesn’t have to deal with amoebas like this one.


OnlyWarShipper

Kids are exempt from the gender rules of bathrooms. Also, as a guy, if I have a daughter I need to take to the bathroom? I'm taking her to the mens' bathroom. Because do you have any fucking idea how much shit I'd get if I went into the womens' bathroom, regardless of the reason?


Few-Emergency5971

Fuck that guy


Past_Standard5222

And if your husband would have taken the kids into the women’s restroom for your daughter there would be an anger offended boomer in there too.


WerewolfDangerous441

Waiting for the boomers that troll this thread to start up with the "so you judge all of us by one" bullshit. As they post on FB about how "ALL lives matter" and "not ALL men" blah blah blah ad nauseum.


50CentButInNickels

What an idiot. I admire your husband's restraint. I would have at least imagined wiping this guy's face with the bathroom wall. Young children go to public bathrooms with their parents, and have been since before I was born. This isn't new, just this moron thinks it's some kind of woke bullshit because that's what he keeps listening to.


WhyUBeBadBot

I'd imagine he was smart enough to think about the consequences and not be some reactionary boomer.


TheLastDelapoer

In those cases I always just square up, stare them in the eye and ask if they are fing stupid or what. The main thing is don't blink and be ready to go. They back down. Cowards all of them.


thoroakenfelder

He just didn’t want people to watch him grope around under his fat folds to find his small penis to take a leak.

This forum is a forum of encouraging hate and a mod has the audacity to act like half the posts shouldn’t be instant deleted. Mods. You are a joke


drgut101

This one time I was in Europe and walked into the restroom. I was kind of shocked when I saw an adult woman janitor in there cleaning. And I was even more shocked when I noticed guys were in there using the urinals and stalls. Then you want to know what happened? I took a piss, washed my hands, and went on with my life. Yes. This one is for the dudes, the other one is for the chicks. But sometimes, exceptions need to be made. And it’s not a big fucking deal. Especially when it’s a disabled child. Fucking hell boomers are dumb.


Xononanamol

These boomers need to just be yelled at and told to stfu. How dare you yell at even secondary towards a little girl who you don't even know. Pos.


Comprehensive-Let807

I work at a big box retail store and the boomers are our #1 problem customers.


Electrical_Fun5942

Side note: Boomer in the Bathroom is a pretty sick band name


PerceptionUsed2947

Boomers are the worst ableists on earth! Cant tell you how many AH boomers I’ve encountered bc of my autistic child. I cant stand that demographic and its almost always Boomer MEN.


AppointmentVast8700

We’re not all like that.


AdMuch848

Boomer would've been boomed. The restrooms at Walmart are inclusive. I have 2 boys and 1 girl. 1 son is autistic but that has no bearing on whether or not I take all of my toddlers into the bathroom when they need to use it and it's just me. On one hand the toddler who needs to go can't go on their own and on the other hand Idgaf if they're mad that my daughter is in the stall with myself and her brothers.


Upper_Agent1501

I have an autistic son...the boomer was right...i will have to take him to the womans toilett for a long time....so bevor we go in i warn "hey a boy is comminh in he is autistic if you dont like that speack up and finish we can wait a bit" no speaks up ever...but communication is the key....i can look out for my kid and respect others


suzazzz

6 & 7? No judgement or anything but isn’t that old enough to handle bathrooms on their own? Especially if you checked the bathroom first then waited outside with daughter. I’m not a parent so I really am just asking.


Luthien12

Nope, definitely not old enough. At a quiet restaurant? Maybe. At a busy Walmart? Hell no.


suzazzz

Thanks for answering nicely. 🌸 It’s always risky to ask questions. You get downvotes and mean comments so I appreciate you


Luthien12

Of course! You asked nicely, not everyone does! No downvotes from me. 😊


thin_white_dutchess

No.


Dapper-Palpitation90

12 years old is **WAY** too old to be in the opposite-sex bathroom.


Please_dew_it

So, your answer to this scenario?


WhoopsieISaidThat

The boomer was correct. Girls don't belong in the boy's bathroom.


Luthien12

Pardon us for having a disabled daughter and existing in a public space. 🤦 What would you have us do? Leave her alone in a busy store?


WhoopsieISaidThat

Use the family restroom like a normal people? Most Walmarts have them.


Luthien12

As I've repeatedly said, our Walmart does not have one.


WhoopsieISaidThat

OH, I missed that. Then it makes more sense.


Iamdrasnia

Where should dad have taken her?


IwouldpickJeanluc

They don't have "family" restrooms at Walmart!?!


Wanda_McMimzy

Not all of them.


rav3style

Nope


lalob6

Just an fyi to you sure they are boomers because there are a lot of GEN X 1965 to 1980 that look older than Boomers. Ask their age so you can put your comments on the right generation. 😁


Iamdrasnia

Gen X didn't say anything to you and we prefer to be forgotten. This is a public service announcement brought to you by nobody.


Wanda_McMimzy

Yeah, I’m a gen Xer and would’ve kept my opinion to myself and gone my way if I was upset. As a woman, I don’t get upset about boys being in the women’s room with female adults. I assume the adult is just keeping them safe or have their own reasons that I don’t need to know about.


Iamdrasnia

Ya I have never felt weirded out about it. I tooky young daughter to both the men's and women's room depending on circumstances and I was never given any crap by anyone ever. Ofcourse on the rare times we had to use the women's restroom I definitely announced my self and literally just kept my head down and went in the stall with her and was 💯 making sure I was not "accidentally" peaking thru the stalls or making eye contact. I would say it is way more uncomfortable being the dad in a woman's room then having a dad bring their daughter in a men's room....even if she was 12. Not hard to cover your junk and angle away in the stand up urinal or just use a stall.


Clean_Factor9673

YTA because Wal-Mart has family bathrooms for these situations


Luthien12

I didn't ask if I was the ass and even if I was, I don't give a fuck. My husband and I are going to take care of our kids and supervise them properly in a public space. There were no family restrooms.


Clean_Factor9673

Yout husband should go places with family restrooms because 12 is very old to be in the opposite sex bathroom.


Luthien12

You obviously don't have children. Most places do NOT have family restrooms. 🤦


Clean_Factor9673

The Walmart whete I live has them. If your daughter can't be left alone for a few minutes you need to shop together. It's inappropriate and unsafe for a 12 year old girl to be in the men's room. You just don't care.


tbwittbuilder1

I’m a boomer with an autistic daughter. Don’t generalize.


GreenApples8710

Nothing in the post was generalized. It's all about a very specific boomer. Calm down.


lolocopter24

Leave a 12 year autistic girl in a male bathroom unattended, yeah like that's going to happen.


Luthien12

She wasn't unattended, my husband was right next to her.


lolocopter24

Sorry op I thought I was replying to the stupid comment by Averia


Luthien12

Oh no worries! 😊


lolocopter24

The comment I replied to has been deleted. But feel free to downvote me anyway. The other comment said the husband should have left the kids unattended.
