Blocked from using restroom

[@philippwickert2851]

As far as I know in ny , as long as the store has anything that can be eaten or drank at that immediate time , restroom must be available

[@seanmiley6294]

Out of order

Not in Texas. Restaurants are required, but I go into many convenience stores that don’t have a public restroom. Of course there might be city ordinances so perhaps it is a requirement in Austin

Cause some folks have to respect and ruin others places. Seen it so many times unclogging toilets. Some customers will throw things down the pipes on purpose. Also junkies like to get high in them. They both ruined it for everyone. I get it.

Last year I had a medical situation for a month or so that gave me bathroom emergencies every couple hours. I was afraid to go to certain stores that didn't have a public bathroom.

[@ChrisXperince]

Alot of places still don't let you use the bathroom ever since covid

[@robertknight4672]

Even gas stations and it was obvious certain locations when the building went up were designed to have a customer bathroom. I actually reported one Sunoco do the corporate office in changes were made. What irritated me more about that particular situation is the customer bathroom or accessed through a hallway that was also a fire exit internet hallway have been barricaded by empty milk crates.

Thank you. On behalf of so many persons that are unable just to go someplace else.

I’ve had this happen to me before and it should definitely be illegal because it’s a basic human need especially for people like me that have ulcerative colitis

[@chriskobler3352]

1)private property: no they don't. They can also ban you from the property if they see fit: its called right to refuse service. 2)the business does not want people destroying the bathroom. That's why public toilets are getting less common. You can blame idiots that destroy the toilets for that.

[@seeya205]

I have seen it more often these days. Many don't let customers use the bathroom anymore.

I’ve worked retail I always laughed when someone said they won’t be back. Of course I laughed to myself because I has to be polite to the customer. Most of the time I would see them in a few days later and I really didn’t care if they never came back, especially if they were annoying. Thankfully, I don’t have to do retail jobs anymore

[@TheHiredGun187]

I worked in a small family pizza shopthat has been there for 50 years, where the only bathroom was in the rear of the kitchen, inaccessable to patrons. Wouldn't do to have people who don't work there walking thru the kitchen all day/night. I understand though

[@seeya205]

They don't need to provide one if they don't have a sit down area to eat.

[@charlese2562]

​@seeya205 most businesses, unless they are a restaurant, don't have a sit down area to eat. According to the video, they still must provide a restroom for their customers.

[@cookiebun95]

I've worked at several retail jobs where the restroom was employees only. It was a liability issue. We put a sign up in the summer "no public restroom". I guess the law is different in my state.

[@fernandomartin4031]

I think if the store sells anything edible has to have a bathroom for customers. If only clothing then no.

[@sharonlalli1414]

Joann's once wouldn't let a woman use the restroom so she went on the shopping floor. They all now have restrooms for the public.

[@Karenpayne47]

I’m in Trinidad…the only places here that have a public use restroom are the KFC and the Subway. Guys can go pee in a corner where there is shubbery, but women have to either hold it until they reach home, or not drink before they go out! If I were fabulously wealthy, I’d make paid public restrooms a thing again. Put them all around like the paid parking lots, charge maybe $2 for 10 min. They used to have them here, government run ones, but they don’t operate any more.

IF YOU SELL FOOD, you HAVE TO HAVE a bathroom, I don’t care about the laws, its morally right. Everyone has to be able to go. You don’t want to have someone wet themselves, or embarrass themselves.

@ Then the person who has to go can also do what they want…pee on the floor.

[@calvinwalker4654]

If you can’t hold your urine, then you should be wearing a pad or diaper. There’s no reason to wet or embarrass yourself. You shouldn’t even be embarrassed to wear a diaper because that’s a medical condition.

Use the shitter before you leave the house, cry baby.

[@wantikjasonchiu4711]

But if so that they change the sign then workers might be confused. Can they now use the washroom or can only customers use it and not workers I don’t think that’s correct. I think the sign should say washroom for customers and workers.

[@timslee0618]

Some establishments don't have public restrooms. The places that do it usually says for "customer's only."

[@AceLive_]

This happens to us at our coffee shop one time. We let customers used our restroom during parade but after a lot of non customer uses it, it started clogging. At that time, we're busy. The manager decided not to let anyone use the restroom for the time being as we can't really clean it on busy hours plus they told us that we can't handle it anyways since we're working on coffee and it's disgusting, we need to get someone to unclog it. We just tell them a closest shop that has one. One customer threatened us that "It's against California law to block us from using the restroom." We explained to them the situation but they refuse to acknowledge. They rage and started drinking other customers drink that are out on the counter. Our manager is busy at the time, we could have ban them but there's situation like this why we block the restroom. it's sometime not really our fault and baristas don't clean restroom until after hours as we don't want the bacteria or mess to get into ours and pass it on while making coffee.

It used to cost $1.50 to use the bathroom at the Rose Festival (Portland, OR, US). It's Oregon 🌲, so, we became one with nature (the woods).

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

I have food allergies and someone spilled something questionable on me and I desperately needed to wash it off. I literally had to push my way in and apologized saying I needed to save my life thank you very much. They swore to me I was not allowed in the place anymore but later I escalated it and the manager apologized to me.

[@kenlompart9905]

Good for you, I'm glad to hear escalated it and let them know using the bathroom could be a life or death situation.

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

@kenlompart9905 you know what else I despise? So many public sinks try to conserve water. When you need to wash an allergen off it's a joke. I've had to dunk my hands in the toilet in an emergency.

[@seanmiley6294]

You're a snowflake & should not be allowed to leave the house.

[@calvinwalker4654]

I think it depends on your state law. I live in Texas and many businesses have employee only bathrooms. It’s just a matter of not wanting to hire people to clean the restroom. I believe restaurants that have a seating area are required to have a public bathroom.

[@true90skid]

Because you have some customers that Will go in and mess the bathroom up and it's not fair to the workers

Newsflash...every store, place of business has the right to refuse business or use of bathroom to any customer they see fit, and they dont have to give you a reason. They have bathrooms for employees Only. In cases of emergencies like people with handicaps, some businesses make exceptions to this rule...but it is rare, i know because i myself am handicapped. But yes...they have a right to refuse. What can we do? Go to the next business available and find a bathroom to avoid confrontation with said business like what happened with the cake situation

I sometimes have to go to the restroom when out at a store. I am 61 and have grown children. So I might have a shorter time now to make it to a restroom and not have an accident. Anyone who has had colon cancer may have an issue. Children.Sometimes they can't wait. Do businesses really want to clean up accidents in their store if this happens? I don't think so. Like this man said it's a common curtesy. At any rate not everyone has the ability to hold it till they leave and find an alternative option.

Now all businesses will fall asleep in the customer bathroom, when someone asks they'll say oh it's over there just follow your nose. And they'll have the water turned off and the exhaust fan disabled, and as the years Roll by people will get trained to never ask to use the customer bathroom unless they like to breathe in heavy heavy ammonia smell.
