Look, I’m not the type to get worked up over much. I usually just roll with things, but what I saw at Primark today was just a total breakdown of common sense.
I went to the first floor to try some stuff on, but I was told those changing rooms were "Women Only" and I’d have to go to the second floor. Fine. I get up there and the signage says "Women" and "Any Gender."
Here’s the part that makes zero sense: I’m standing there with three other guys waiting about 10 minutes for a stall in the "Any Gender" section. Meanwhile, there were at least two open stalls in the "Women’s" section, but women were still coming out of the "Any Gender" area instead of using their own designated space.
If you’re going to make a section "Any Gender," it shouldn't mean "Men wait in a bottleneck while everyone else gets two options." It’s a massive waste of time. If the store is actually confident in the "Any Gender" setup, why isn't the first floor neutral too?
It feels like they’re trying to look inclusive on paper, but in reality, they’ve just made it a huge hassle for guys to even try on a shirt. Why not just make the whole place "Any Gender" and stop with the weird tiered system that doesn't actually work for anyone?
Anyone else dealt with this? It’s basically a 10 minute queue for no reason other than bad planning.
