[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s legal, and stupid. I was at a niche type store making a similarly large purchase when my then-4yo said he had to go #2 NOW! I asked and they said they couldn’t accommodate. It all happened so fast and before we could get out the door to the car he let it all out all over the carpet. I had a boy covered in excrement and they still wouldn’t let me use the restroom. So not only did they lose out on the sale, they had a crappy mess to clean on the carpet. [/quote]

It sounds like your son was sick. If he had so little control over his bowels, it's very likely he would have crapped all over their bathroom, too. At least in this case, he had clothes on which likely captured most of it.

Be honest: if your son had crapped on the floor of the their bathroom, how much effort would you have put into cleaning it up? Or would you have thought, "eh, I'm sure they pay someone to clean this" and left?

It's an unfortunate anecdote but actually doesn't change the equation for most businesses at all. There is little to no benefit to providing a bathroom and there are huge downsides.[/quote]
I absolutely would have cleaned it! I’m not a heathen. My point was that I’m sure cleaning the carpet at the front of the store of feces was exponentially more of a time suck. At least, I hope they thoroughly cleaned it afterwards. [/quote]

You are absolutely a heathen if you left that foul carpet for someone else to clean up while you went somewhere else. No matter what you tell yourself.[/quote]
