I work for a Hotel, cleaning the lobby and public bathrooms...I'm mostly working alone and customer interactions consist of smiling and answering easy questions while i go about my job. Good hours...lousy pay....
so...to clean the public bathrooms, we have a large rolling cart that holds out supplies (TP, paper towels, spray cleaner, trashbags, etc.), with a huge sign on one side that CLEARLY says "closed for cleaning".
did i mention its a large cart? its big enough to clearly block the entrance leaving little doubt in someones mind that its sitting there for a reason with the door propped open wide.
I typically clean the men's bathroom first since its right across a short hall from the closet where the cart and supplies are stored for us....
now I'm female....been this way since birth....I have no problem entering a men's bathroom for cleaning so long as no one is in there....
TWICE I've had male co workers walk in while I'm cleaning the toilets, walk to the urinals unzip and well....
nothing not even an oops....or "can you come back in a minute or something..." ARGH!!!!
then the other day, I'm cleaning the women's restroom, and came back out to the cart to get something else, and i hear a snarky voice ask "are we done cleaning yet?"
Woman was sitting on a couch across the hallway from the bathrooms arms and legs crossed like it was the BIGGEST inconvience in the world.
when I told her it would be a while longer I finally saw my first cat butt face....even when I told her where the other public bathroom was....less then 100 feet away in the main lobby (these bathrooms are down towards the "convention" side of the hotel.)
I'm still debating on whos dirtier...men or women....
The men's room has 3 urinals, and 2 toilets, 4 sinks, 4 trash cans, and 4 things of papertowels. Two of the trash cans are those tiny things under the paper towel dispenser, and the other 2 are big ones, one right by the door, and one in the handicap stall which also has a baby changing table in it.
The women's room has 3 toilets, 6 trashcans (2 tiny under the paper towels, 3 small ones in each toilet stall, and one big one by the door), 4 sinks, 4 papertowel holders, and one baby changing table in the handicap stall.
my first weekend working there we had a shag dance meeting, and I swear I went into the bathrooms the first day and cleaned and stocked EVERYTHING. My counterpart that evening said that even though she knew I had cleaned and stocked, the place was TRASHED.
I get there the second day and see...no papertowels, no toilet paper, over flowing trash cans, and what looked like....water near the urinals....(thats my story and I'm sticking to it.) and that was just the mens room.
women's wasn't any better, and a woman was washing her hands when I went in, and said "my goodness you wonder what these people do at home to leave such a mess in a public place..." as she walked out drying her hands.....she missed the half full trashcan and kept on walking.....
needless to say I did cleaning on them bathrooms after every break they got for their weekend long meeting, each time you'd swear I never touched the place. These were all adults too....
