Number 1 - You used names (So not saying it wasn't personal - open your eyes).
Number 2 - You don't know me and now I know a little about you, you think of yourself first and the customer second. Point "I'm a big boy and can hold it". That's nice I will open your eyes to others. I'm disabled - oh you didn't know that. Did you know that some people have medical problems that you have never heard of? Some of these problems deal with say - getting in and out of vehicles, so running to a car or another store to use a bathroom is not an easy task. Some people can't "Hold" it, just to let you know there are medical problems that thousands of people deal with every day. Would you rather clean up pee from some stupid person that has problems aiming or clean it up off the main floor because someone couldn't hold it. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW!!!!!! Do you think you are above everyone else? Yes I'm an engineer or was one for years, guess what I worked my way through college at whatever I could get and if cleaning the bathrooms was part of my job you better dam well believe it was done and the was the cleanest bathroom around. Take that chip off your shoulder and grow up, it will get knocked off.

This site is not about you, what you think is information or not. We are a group and until now we all got along great. I feel this was a very good thread until your personal attacks - DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T WRITE! I really don't care of you think this thread is worthless - I do and lets see 300+ hits - lots of people thought it was at least entertaining. What I do with my time is none of your business and if I'd like to spend it writing about going to the bathroom - I'll do that. You can read it if you'd like - No one is holding a gun to your head and making you read this are they? If you can't stand the threads don't enter - if you don't like what's on TV turn it off. I have a right to use my time as I please! If it's writing this stupid note to you - which I'm sure is a waste - then that is what I will do. Open your eyes and see your customers - that is customer service, not just selling fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what, to the day I retired if my floor in my area needed cleaned and we had customers coming in (I was head of this area) - I still cleaned it and yes I made a lot of $, but that isn't what it's all about.
 
It really goes to show that some people dont really care about a problem if it doesnt affect them. Its like well for me it would be ok so who cares if someone else isnt ok. People should think of others a little more sometimes.
 
Thanks Chris well said and appreciated. I feel that was the point - thinking of your customers needs, not just selling. The guy down the street sells the same stuff at the same price, this is just one of many items that can put your store a level above.

I am an employee at a LFS, and i make about 7.50 per hour...I could make more being a burger flipper at McDonalds, but I choose not to because I absolutely LOVE this hobby, and will work for peanuts just to be around fish all day, and to help people learn about it. Peanuts do not pay, however, for cleaning up after all of the people who pee all over my bathroom floor....not part of my job description.

You have the choice to work in a public environment, therefore you should understand it IS part of the job. If it doesnt feel like something you want to do then it may be time to consider starting a company that you can work at home and not have to deal with other peoples mess.
You also choose to work for 7.50 so dont hide behind the I dont make enough line....... try makeing 9 dollars and hour and cleaning what I clean, better yet have someone vomit on you and you have to keep smileing and do your job. Working retail and not wanting to clean a public bathroom is like being a mechanic that refuses to get grease under his or her fingernails, simply absurd.
Not to attack but the reality of life is everything is about choices, you choose to not clean bathrooms therefore you choose topossibly loss customers. Customers choose to leave due to not haveing facillties available and thats fine. I would do the same even if it cost me more money in the long run. and great point about the possibilty of being disabled, how many LFS have a restroom that would meet ADA requirements? Ive got a brother in a wheelchair and can tell you it is a MAJOR problem in many business's to get around in the store, let alone any other rooms.... ok off my soapbox for now.
 
Thank you Brian.
When we built our new shop, we even made the restroom in the shop meet ADA requirements, because we have disabled customers, and we let customers hang out in the shop.

Just a note or a thought.
I have read through this and have formed and opinion about it.
As a facility maintenance director you are correct with the restroom codes as long as they were not Grandfathered in and AdA.
Take it as it is but I think this is more about about the way we treat one another I have 2 kids and my wife that have been there and politely asked to use there facility's and have never been denied. Poor form in my opinion for " Just having fun"
But This 2 IJMO
 
I heard something once about beating a dead horse.....can we please put this one to bed and get on to bigger and better things? I believe everyone in three counties has expressed thier opinions on this one.....time to let it go.
 
Yo ruskin...no one is forcing you to watch the dead horse beating.
If you want to move on...then get up off of your @$$ and move on.

Well I guess you not only have NO sympathy or thought for others but at - now 12 post - you are still trying to tell other reefers what to read. I believe it's time for YOU to move along - get it!
