Wetherspoons defends CCTV cameras in seaside town pub toilets
The venue has CCTV cameras in the men's and women's toilets, with the pub chain saying they are there to ensure 'customer and staff safety'
A Wetherspoons pub located in a Yorkshire seaside town has defended the installation of CCTV cameras in its toilets, causing customers to express concerns of potential 'stage fright'. The Lord Rosebery in Scarborough, part of the national pub chain, installed cameras in both the men's and women's facilities.
The news emerged when a bothered customer posted a photo of said camera on Reddit, leading to a discussion about the legal aspects of such an installation.
A variety of users responded with confusion, fearing that they might experience "stage fright" if they knew a camera was possibly watching them while they used the loo. JD Wetherspoon clarified that the cameras are not aimed at the urinals or cubicles, but instead to ensure 'customer and staff safety'.
Odd. Sir Timothy Randall Martin certainly doesn't look like a colossal pervert.
