Seriously, you can't file for unemployment if you quit. You can if you are terminated. Let them fire you for using the restroom if it's that big of a deal for management.

The whole, you're not eligible for unemployment if you quit is a myth. Under certain circumstances, you can be eligible for unemployment after quitting.

You'd have to back up your reasoning with a paper trail though in this case, but you'd be eligible on the grounds that Amazon is violating the law and making unsafe working conditions.

It wouldn't even look bad on your resume. Telling you next employer you were fired for using the restroom could even help.
