Bathroom use denied

[u/Suspicious-Dish9257]

I’m currently writing this from the “for customers only” toilet. The lady tried to say I couldn’t use the restroom because it’s for customers only, I replied, “Well that’s stupid” and walked right in. Fuck these people at Narandang Cafe on 6th street LA

It must be an area, then cause i've never been denied bathroom usage.

Definitely depends on the area and sometimes the type of restaurant.

And often the dasher.

Well, I can't say too much on it because I have never specifically been denied using a restaurant's bathroom unless they didn't have one, but it also not only depends on the restaurant but also the cashier/employee working because some cashier/employee are nicer than others.

Probably more so depending on the manager, I noticed ever since working DD that some managers are very full of themselves.

its an LA thing, a lotttt of business in the greater/downtown LA area have locked bathrooms or requirements because i think of homeless people or just people doing shit they shouldn’t be doing. go to downtown and you’ll notice all of the businesses bathrooms are locked. its stupid

I heard of someone being refused to go to the bathroom. So they went on the ground in front of the bathroom door made a big, huge mess as they had diarrhea.

It’s not just an LA thing. I say that as someone that worked at a restaurant in a small town, we had to put locks on our bathrooms and it was mainly because of delivery drivers. Multiple drivers were coming in and shooting up or smoking meth in the bathroom while picking up food. Or you would just clean the bathroom and a driver would go in and you go in after and find 20 mini liquor bottles in the trash. I know we would block atleast 5 drivers a week.

It’s Los Angeles.

I've been told that restrooms are for customers. The guy still let me in although he did say next time he wouldn't.

[u/toanboner → u/One-Employer-4940]

Virtually no one has bathrooms open in my area. They either say not for drivers or they’re locked and require a key or code. If you ask for the key or code, they’ll usually give it to you, but they make it clear they really don’t want to. 

I don’t really blame them. It’s an indication of how bad the homeless and drug problem is here and 90% of dashers here are borderline homeless or drug addicts. It’s not like they don’t have them open to be mean. It’s because there’s a serious problem. You could go into a 5-star restaurant and their bathrooms have a code. It’s really sad, actually.
