Kroger Bathroom Sign Goes Viral

March 29, 2016 By Matthew Slotkin Leave a Comment

"Kroger store"

Kroger is supporting all of its customers, no matter the trait that makes them unique.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – A Kroger bathroom sign goes viral after the Georgia store displayed an explanation for its decision to implement a unisex bathroom. Most of the people who commented on the post supported the store’s decision and admired its initiative.

A retail food chain that offers a wide variety of services including food, gifts, pharmacy, and savings recently received a lot of attention due to a sign it posted on its unisex bathroom door.

Judging by the phrasing, it’s possible that the managers were assaulted with tons of questions or complaints about the unisex bathroom, so they decided to post a public explanation. The A4 paper taped to the bathroom door read:

“We have a unisex bathroom because sometimes gender specific toilets put others into uncomfortable situations. And since we have a lot of our friends coming to see us, we want to provide a place for our friends who are:

  • Dads with daughters
  • Moms with sons
  • Parents with disabled children
  • Those in the LGBTQ
  • Adults with aging parents who may be mentally or physically disabled

Thank you for helping us to provide a safe environment for everyone!”

Tonya Owens, a customer at Kroeger, saw the sign and posted a picture of her Facebook account. The caption read “Nice job Kroeger. This is from a Kroger in Athens, Ga.”

Surely enough, the post went viral. It was shared more than 88,000 times on Facebook; it gathered over 2,400 comments and 58,800 likes.

People on Twitter had the same positive reaction when the photo was shared on the social media platform. Even the official Twitter account of the retail store was flooded with overnight followers and positive reviews.

As the Kroger bathroom sign goes viral, Georgia is starting to regain popularity among the LGBTQ community and its supporters.

Recently, a legislation was submitted that would legalize discrimination against the aforementioned community. But when news of the bill was spread, Georgia officials were flooded with complaints and promises from important organizations.

For example, both NFL and Disney promised Georgia state officials that they will never conduct any sort of activity in the state if the bill is passed.

Nathaniel Deal, the governor of Georgia, vetoed the legislation after it reached him because he, too, considered it outrageous.

Upon vetoing the bill, Deal declared that Georgia is a state that supports everybody. And judging by how fast the bathroom post went viral and how many positive reviews it got, it seems that Georgia is not the discriminatory state people were led to believe.

Stress Is a Common Denominator for American Citizens

"Stress Is a Common Denominator for American Citizens"

Discrimination plays a significant role in the growing levels of stress among US citizens.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – When it comes to the universal recommendations made by doctors, doing regular physical exercise and avoiding stress are the usual advice uttered by all physicians, no matter the disease they are treating. It seems that stress is a common denominator for American citizens. And discrimination plays a significant role in providing them when their daily amount of it.

According to an annual survey, the adults that live in the United States are facing more stressful situation than they had in previous years. And the Psychological Association of America believes that discrimination is one of the major underlying factors.

The survey in question found that roughly half of the adult citizens of the US have dealt with discrimination or unfair treatment in the last years. These stressful situations include being neglected when promotion was in talks, being fired, being treated poorly when seeking health care and being threatened or unfairly treated by officers of the law.

The Psychological Association of America released a statement in which they said that some populations, for example, the Hispanics, struggle with stress more often than other people. In the same category, APA included younger generations, adults that have a certain disability, women, and the LGBT community.

Furthermore, the association pointed out that the anticipation of discrimination creates a heightened state of awareness. People that were confronted with discrimination in previous encounters usually tend to expect the same treatment everywhere they go. Even if it’s only a mean glance or the more serious issues like receiving poor service, being treated with less to no courtesy, or even being harassed or threatened.

According to the survey, more than thirty percent of black and Hispanic adults reported being obligated to face discriminatory behavior as often as once a week. The study respondents declared that they had to pay extra attention to their behavior and appearance in order to obtain a good service or avoid being harassed.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of places in the United States where people can be legally discriminated. For example, some restaurants prohibit any gay manifestations. And the “we are entitled to choose our clientele” signs usually serve as a warning to the members of the LGBT, Hispanic, black, physically impaired and Muslim communities.

Stress is a common denominator for American citizens, and the sad part is that they are creating stressful situations for each other.
