- Shoppers and workers shocked by Preston’s op-shop act
Stunned employees at a Melbourne store have spoken out after footage of a customer appearing to urinate in their dressing room went viral.
The ‘disgusting’ footage showed an unidentified woman emptying her bladder while sitting behind a curtain at the Sacred Heart Op Shop in Preston, located in Melbourne’s north-east.
After shocked social media users condemned the act and branded it ‘indecent’, staff at the charity shop have since revealed there was more to the story.
“Our Preston Op Shop staff was alerted to a customer’s restroom-related accident in the locker room,” a spokesperson for Sacred Heart Mission said Yahoo.
‘Staff were unable to identify the customer, but the changing room in question has now been disinfected and thoroughly cleaned.’
During the cleaning process, staff discovered that there was feces in the locker room in addition to urine, the release said.

Social media users were shocked after the video was shared on Reddit, with the caption: ‘My wife was shopping at a store in the northern suburbs and saw this while waiting to try on some clothes…’.
The video, posted Tuesday, showed only the perpetrator’s ankles, which were visible through a curtain that did not reach the floor.
As the liquid visibly drips onto the gray carpet, leaving a dark stain, the video reads: “I think this person just peed in the locker room.”
Comments came thick and fast on the shocking clip, with one declaring: ‘That’s fucking disgusting. I should have called the police.’
‘Okay… just NO. This is NOT okay. The employees at the Op store are already volunteers and much of the time they are elderly. Come on, can people have some decency for once?,” another commented.
The surgery shop disinfected the floor after the incident
Some users noted that this was not entirely unusual.
‘It happens more often than most people think. While unemployed, I tried to keep shops working for benefits and heard horror stories about people using the changing rooms as toilets,” they posted.
“My mate used to manage shops, this isn’t entirely unusual,” wrote another.
There were others who had an alternative, more X-rated theory for what happened behind the scenes.
“This will end up on OnlyFans I think,” one commenter wrote, a sentiment shared by many.
