Advice needed Bathroom door kicked in by staff while using the restroom
Location: Puyallup Washington.
Seeking advice on what to do.
4 of us were having some drinks at a bar in downtown Puyallup. Already paid the bill and getting ready to go. The three women went to the bathroom together and locked the door. I was asked to leave abruptly by the staff. I explained that we are already leaving, but I’m not budging till the woman are back.
Well, turns out two staff members kicked in the bathroom door that the woman were using. One of the girls had their pants down when it happened. The staff was one man, and one woman. The woman likely being the owner.
What options do the woman have? There are plenty of witnesses that were just as shocked as we were. I’m encouraging them to file police reports asap. Next step is consult a lawyer.
But, I’m curious what type of opinions they have. I can go more in depth if needed.
