Ok. Go buy your plants elsewhere. No one cares.

If I have a cart full of plants ready to check out and find out the store doesn’t have a restroom for customers (and I have an urgency to pee), then I leave the cart in front of the register and never go back.
Don’t they realize they lose good customers and sales?

Most adults don’t throw tantrums and abandon their carts when they aren’t provided a public bathroom to buy plants, so don’t you worry. Their bottom line (yes, I see what I did there) is safe.

I think they’re ok loosing their shitkaren. Thank PP for my new favorite word.

I see it’s very difficult for you to understand that retail businesses exist thanks to customers, especially to he good ones.

The people whining about bathrooms aren’t good customers.

I do wonder how you got this far in life without knowing this.

You sound so harsh. Do you always judge people for what they do not know? You are the ignorant one.

Also, state of Maryland, people driving on rural roads to your Civil War battlefields might need bathrooms if theyre little kids, elderly, or have IBS!!! Thanks for nothing for an especially traumatic road trip years ago when we discovered MD gas stations don't usually keep bathrooms public and have absolutely no mercy.

IBS and explosive poop is exactly the type of thing that all business owners and employees want to keep out of their bathrooms.

I hate to pile on but nobody should have to clean this and it's harder and harder to keep and attract service staff. People leaving messes ruin it for everyone.

I didn’t throw a tantrum. Instead, I send a clear message without saying a word.

If you don't say a word, how do they know you're leaving because you need to use the bathroom? Not such a clear message if you ask me.

I had kindly asked an employee where the restroom was. She saw my cart full of plants and said there was no restroom. I then asked “Not even for customers?” As she said no and suggested a DonJohn across the street where was a construction site, I left everything there in shock.

The employee telling you there isn't a bathroom or the employee having to clean up after your accident because there isn't a bathroom probably had zero to do with whether there was a bathroom available to you. Abandoning carts of merchandise or leaving these service employees actual feces to clean up is a really shit thing to do. Some of you have obviously never worked retail.

Glad you left OP. Hope you don't go back!

If you’re really having an emergency, just beg. I’ve only had this happen twice but both times I was shown to the employee bathroom.

In the case of the plants, if there was somewhere nearby I would just leave my cart and come back for it. If possible, I’d tell an employee that I was coming back for the cart. Or that I wasn’t, if you don’t want to.

Abandoning the cart is fine in this case, especially if you tell them.

“Excuse me, can you point me to the restroom?”
“I’m sorry, there is no restroom for customers. The nearest one is at the Giant across the street.”
“Forgive me, I have to leave this cart and go there right now. Thanks!”


That’s perfectly fine.

I’m sure she was weeping for their lost “hundreds” of dollars. You are the exact type of customer they don’t want. They don’t want to put up with your $h1t

Come on this is a perfectly acceptable solution. How would she be able to throw a temper tantrum if she did this? Way too reasonable for DCUM.
