Unisex changing rooms

What a cheek! I hope you gave him an earful, Annie - barging in is simply not on.
Maybe put your complaint in writing too.

Are you sure you were the only one shocked? What about the man? If the door locks are weak or, as was most likely the case, not operated properly then it is quite possible that he got a bigger shock than you.

I've used Asda changing rooms. Hardly ever anybody in them, maybe because everyone likes to try things on at home. Not sure I would try a swimsuit on there.

Why on earth don't people who make these decisions ( unisex changing rooms, loos etc) understand that women want privacy at certain times and I expect most men do too. Would never use a unisex changing room or bathroom (unless desperate), it's just another fad to appease a minority and/or to save money.

Me too. I never use shop changing rooms. I always feel 'ruffled' when I've finished trying on all the items and feel I have to rush.
At home I can try on at my leisure with different height shoes and tops etc and it's no bother to send stuff back. Usually free returns anyway.

I haven't really used a changing room in a shop since I was in my teens when there weren't even cubicles!
Definitely report it to Asda - but do it quickly as CCTV is often only held for a short time.

Nowadays I buy and try on at home. If the item doesn't fit I return

I think you should report it. There may be cctv cameras at the entrance which may show up the ' intruder' especially if he is a serial offender which he could well be. Also why not make it that you have to ask a member of staff to enter the changing room like they do in M&S? if they are going to have unisex cjanging rooms they should guarantee your security.

Hope you are recovered. what a horrible experience!

Yes, that's what happened at our local ASDA store too, phoenix.

Out local Asda did away with changing rooms a few years ago, said it was because of health & safety

Think it was more likely to be lack of staff manning them, and a possible increase in theft!

Your experience sounds completely unacceptable OP, I would definitely complain.

So long as unisex changing rooms have separate cubicles with floor to ceiling walls and doors (and sensible locks) then I don't have a problem.

Any other design and the shop has lost my custom.

What's this idea of unisex anyway ? Don't those of us who disagree with them have a say ?

Yes, I’d report it. These locks need changing. Put it on their FB page that’ll grab their attention!

I would report it to ASDA asap. What a shock.

I don't think I'm using changing rooms in shops any more. I'd sooner try them at home and return them, even though the trip is a hassle.
I also suspect stuff like this will make people shop online rather than in shops even more.
