[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A Wisconsin woman visiting Chicago this summer said she was using the bathroom at a downtown Ghirardelli Chocolate Company store when she noticed the lid of the trash can moving slightly.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Then she said she saw a man peeking through that lid, watching her.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A lawsuit recently filed in Cook County Circuit Court seeks millions from the chocolate company for the alleged invasion of privacy.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Lisa Stewart claims in the lawsuit that the men's and women's bathrooms at the store, 830 N. Michigan, shared a trash can, with a metal lid on each side of an adjoining wall.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]She claims that a male employee bumped into her on her way into the bathroom, and after she went inside, her fiance watched as the employee went into the men's restroom next to it.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The employee had earlier "tampered with the lid on the ladies' bathroom receptacle so that he could view women who were using the toilet," the lawsuit says.
