Customers = pigs?

[Lace Neil Singer]

After reading all the toilet horror stories on here, I have a couple of my own to share. 1 comes from the days when I worked in the garden centre, the other happened about a year ago at the supermarket.

1. Do you do this at your house?

OK, the garden centre had a toilet block for customer use out in the car park, and a single toilet for staff in the locker room. The female staff only were allowed to use the staff toilet, and we had to have a cleaning rota between us. The guys had to use the customer toilet, and have a rota for cleaning them. For once, the women won out; the customer toilets used to be so horrible, that I am definitely glad I never had to set foot in there. Here are just a few of the terrible crimes that customers committed there:

* Once, every single bog roll was pulled clean, by someone pulling on it til they pulled the whole lot off. Once they'd done this, they then stuffed half of their reams of toilet roll down the loos, blocking them, and soaked the other half in water and squished it all over the walls. This was in summer, so by the time it was discovered, it had set like cement. This by the way, happened in the women's customer toilet.

* Another time, also in the women's customer toilet, someone apparently had to change a tampon. Fine, but this person didn't use the bin provided, she splatted her used tampon on to the mirror several times before leaving it in the sink.

* In the gents, some guy once did a number 2 in the urinal.

* Again in the gents, someone took bog roll and blocked up the entire urinal, then peed on it. The guys guessed that this was either more than one person, or that loads of customers trooped in and peed in the blocked urinal row without bothering to tell anyone, cuz by the time they'd discovered it, it had overflowed all over the floor.

2. The woman with the weak bladder.

Now, this is a different type of toilet horror story. This woman had been spotted by the staff in the kiosk going in and out of the toilet 5 times in quick succession. The 5th time, she'd carried in a bag but hadn't carried it out. So, the next time she went to the toilet, a security guard followed her in... just in time to catch her red handed as she stuffed a toilet cistern with stolen goods. Would have been a good plan, but she got greedy. XD

You can't compare customers to pigs! Pigs are intelligent, sensitive, likeable creatures. Maybe compare customers to cockroaches, spreading their filth everywhere.

Some people are just absolutely nasty. How can anyone even consider doing that stuff to a public toilet? Do they have no sense of shame or decency? Do they go to their friends' or relatives' houses and block up their toilets and splat used tampons all over their bathroom walls?!

Oh, holy orange.

Words cannot express the disgust and perplexity that I'm feeling.

I second XCashier's thoughts on the comparison to pigs. Hell, you can't even compare em to maggots, coz maggots don't make the mess, they eat it!
I honestly cannot believe that people in this day and age would act like they had their civility removed...*sigh*

Now I wanna know, who made dukey in the urinal, mmkay?

This was beyond disguisting. I was doing regular closing and had just gotten to the mens bathroom. Had done the sink and a few other tidbits when the older guy needed to go...well I left so that he could go. A loooonnnnggggg while later he leaves and I head in. And I am assualted by the foulest of the foulest smells
Heading over to the sink, because of course he used it and I just needed to tidy it again.....no, it's BONE DRY!!! And the smell is still rancid. Nothing in the urnial....checking the main loo.
It is almost filled to the brim with dirraha. And there is loo paper all over the place....
Lets just say that picture is burned onto my brain. To this day, something that smells similar makes me want to vomit

i once commented that instead of a restroom, we should have a row of litter boxes or a slit trench for customer use and the restroom for staff only.

pigs are great, customers, not so much.

Good idea . . . I think I'll send that suggestion to our Home Office. But I have a feeling that'll happen when

Sounds well and good, but who's going to clean that?

You couldn't pay me enough to do it.

I once stopped at a bathroom off of I-95 in Virginia. The toilet was overflowed, the floor was covered in pee and water, there was dukey in the toilet waiting to overflow.

I almost went and peed in the woods behind the gas station.

[chainedbarista]

we could rig a system where the bottom falls out of the box, emptying its contents down a chute and into a canister, where only the bag has to be removed; the trench would be covered up once 'full' and we'd dig a new one, but then again, after awhile, we'd run out of trench space.

heh, i still like that litterbox idea, but the big green apron execs would have a serious heart attack at that suggestion.

Now I wanna know, who made dukey in the urinal, mmkay?

I just wondered whether it was done on purpose, or whether this was a seriously confused man who thought it was meant to poop in. Let's hope he didn't then mistake the cubicle for the water fountain.

[Ackee]

OOh so disgusting

I think there are female staff there who hate each other.Perhaps they are using the mess to "get back at" someone who annoyed them?

...and, like roaches, they'll be around forever.

At times I've walked into a bathroom that was so nasty, I just decided it'd be better just to hold it in and wait until I got home. Of course our toilets are rather old and have a tendency to stop working from time to time, anyway...

[Iced Coffee Man]

Man, after reading that, I'm glad our shop doesn't have a customer toilet. In fact, I don't think I've been in a shop that has toilets, except the fast food places.
I hope it NEVER gets introduced here.
