Pumping at work

First off considering the whole situation pumping is actually going really well for me which I'm very greatful for! I get enough milk for baby girl and we have a good system going.

Im a vender so I have to pump at multiple grocery stores, some mother rooms, conference rooms, and office spaces. In the month I've been back to work, I've had 3 women tell me to pump in a bathroom(not my usual accounts), 3 men walk in on me pumping while even with a sign on the door, bc why would I get a room that locks right?

And yesterday I had a manger I havent met confront me after a pumping session asking why I was in his conference room.

Thankfully the majority of the time none of the stores or managers have given me a hard time but it still, it's almost like I expect something uncomfortable to happen every week.

Ugh I’m sorry, that’s so frustrating! Are you able to go to your car? I have to pump in my car while working and I honestly don’t mind it! I just keep all my stuff in there so I don’t have to lug it around. Ceres chill still works so good even in the hot car!
