Speaking of Toilets

Who thought that putting a snack bar in the Hard Rock Cafe TOILET was a good idea? Really? I could see the good in selling the sanitary napkins, advil, etc. at the counter. Those are the types of items you would find in a bathroom medicine cabinet, so it isn’t a stretch to encounter them in a public toilet. However, the idea of unwrapping a snickers bar in a TOILET and chowing down on it leaves me with a creeping sense of horror.

I am not alone, either! I wish I had had a video camera to catch the reaction of the different women who halted in their tracks to stare at the treasure trove of candy and Kotexes offered at the sink. You know, where people wash urine and feces off their fingers.

It gets better, though. The little vestibule area where women come to wash and dry their hands, and partake of the smogasbord of chocolate and anti-diarrheals, also sported a counter with a stool. Sat at this counter was an employee or friend of the toilet attendant, scarfing down a hasty lunch of rice and fried chicken. REALLY?? Is that truly the most appetizing place to enjoy a lunch break because seriously, I can tell you right now, given the sounds coming from one of the stalls, it wouldn’t be MY top choice.

I am still gobsmacked.
