Yea, adults shouldn't have bathroom emergencies but the reality is that they do. There's no reason you can't open the door for someone. I mean if everyone starting asking then it would be a problem. Your supervisor is being kind of ridiculous and stubborn. It's not really lecture worthy. If anything it's just don't do that again worthy.

If you recall there is a very good reason children should have their own bathroom in public libraries...

ILI (FINAL ANSWER)
I bet your supervisor would love to put this sign up:
lol a training sup where I work uses quotation marks superfluously like that too.
All "Load Coaches" need to pick "one" person and make them "better"
We are the "best"!

^that. plenty of adults have medical conditions. also, how does forcing them to hunt down the key help for an emergency?
True. The supervisor, like others have noted, is a bit ridiculous.
But just going along with it... if you need the job. She's the boss. Don't try to make some moral stand of helping people, if it'll get you fired. Don't be a hero.
So one older woman has to walk more, and one adult might risk being sick in front of others... horrible, yes. But there is a point, that they can deal with these things on their own. And they know for next time, to use the other bathroom. Is it worth risking your job?
Sure it may suck enforcing rules you disagree with personally. Maybe make exceptions if you won't get caught, or talk to your supervisor's boss about the rule, if you really feel strongly... but this could get you fired as well. Just go along with it, I say...
You've done the right thing. Screw your supervisor and continue doing what you think is right. Don't compromise yourself and your principles.

I disagree completely.
Good point. But essentially unimportant. I've been in very similar situations (well not job-related per se, but risking other things in my life... maybe even life itself...) and I've never listened. I've always done what I personally thought and felt was right, no matter what anybody else said or wanted me to do. Thinking in terms of whether it is worth risking something I benefit from when making decisions, and letting that be a top priority, to me is a cowardly, selfish, spineless way to live your life.
While I get your point, and agree that it is more "rational" to act this way, and WL is probably better off taking your advice for the sake of her own security, I would actually suggest the opposite. Speak your mind, don't be afraid to disagree, do what's right, work hard... and don't worry. People will respect you for being true to yourself and having a stable personality.
If I was in WL's shoes, I wouldn't give a shit about the possibility of getting fired, and even if it came to that, I would not regret anything I've done. I'll find another job, or get the same one back. (The only times I do regret my actions is when I've seriously hurt a person I care about, and realize I could (and should) have avoided it. But that's a totally different issue.)
