Let people use your restaurant’s restrooms if you don’t want to end up being in the CSI segment of our speaking club!
We are going to Langley, British Columbia, which is in Canada. The story happened on May 16th of 2018.
A woman broke into a Tim Horton’s restaurant with a serious need of using the restroom. There was a problem, however, she wasn’t aware of.
The problem is that only Tim Horton’s customers can use the restrooms. For that reason, she was stopped by an employee who told she’s got to order something prior to using the restroom. So they got into an argument, fought for some time, and then, eventually, the woman did something really awful and nasty which makes her CSI title worthy. Now, two questions: What would you do in her place? What did the woman do after being restricted from using the restroom? Whatever your answers will be, you won’t be able to match the woman’s act of choice.
After being restricted from using the restroom, the woman puts her back against the partition, takes off her pants, furiously shits on the floor, takes napkins from the counter, gets the poop off the floor, throws it at the employee, wipes her bits and immediately runs away. The mad pooper has been detained by the police, although there hasn’t been a word on what kind of crime she has been charged with.

she has to = she's got to
(I suspect usage varies based on reason)

This isn't a grammatical mistake so much as a stylistic choice. When noun phrases modify another noun or noun phrase, they can take hyphens to make the meaning more clear.
Now, two questions: Wwhat would you do in her place?
What did the woman do after being restricted from using the restroom?
After being restricted from using the restroom, the woman puts her back against the partition, takes off her pants, furiously shits on the floor, takes napkins from the counter, gets the poop off the floor, throws it at the employee, wipes her bits and immediately runs away.
This isn't wrong, but I wanted to comment.
This is what's called a run-on sentence, or a sentence that is exceedingly long. In America, I think most of us are taught not to write them in grade school. It's not incorrect, it's simply difficult to read.
Also, you used present tense here. That's not incorrect either, but be aware we generally have two narrative modes we use in English, either in past or present tenses (you can combine them). For spoken English, switching between those two modes is probably okay and still natural sounding, but it can be jarring in written English.
For both run-on sentences and narrative mode you might receive excessive corrections if natives aren't used to it. If you use these, be sure you're using them with intention.
The mad pooper has been detained by the police, although there hasn’t been a word on what kind of crime she has been charged with.
