why do gas station owners lock up the bathrooms? are they afraid someone will clean them?

You dont want just anyone having unfettered access to a place as private as that. Understand? Pervs might turn it into a meeting place.

Because it is all about money.  The owners make more money when they us less staff.  I think this is one of the biggest problems in our society.  People live all their lives and at the end of their lives they aren't even taken to the bathroom.  Often residents who are unable to feed themselves are not fed.  When a shoe store is staffed better than an institution that cares for human beings it is a sad commentary on our society  Remember that you too will be old someday.  (if your lucky)

yes. i'm not a germaphobe with anything else, but public restrooms are used by the masses and better safe than sorry.

to avoid gas guzzlers for people who think that gas is theirs to waste and then complain about the prices.

This question depends on how long you are going to be inside the store, how old the children are, what kind of a neighborhood it is, and how large the gas station is. I have known couples to leave their children in the car with the doors locked and windows up at a smaller, large windowed gas station in a semi-alright neighborhood and be fine with it morally and emotionally. However, I have known some people to leave their children in the car windows down and doors unlocked in a semi-bad neighborhood and the car and children where taken. This all depends on the full extent of the situation. Me personally I would only leave them in the car if I knew the neighborhood, could see the car no matter where I was in the store, locked the doors and put all windows up, the children where of an older age where they somewhat knew better than to try to get out or let strangers in, also the car would be moved up to the store instead of leaving it at the pump, and only if I was only in for a few minutes to get drinks and pay for the gas. This all depends on you and how you feel of your decision.

Guess what, oh "high social class" child... you are NOT of a high enough social class to use faculty restrooms. Those restrooms are for people who have risen to a high degree of education, have a professional licensure, and actually are 100% responsible for their own lives. If you care to point out that other staff also uses the faculty restrooms (educational assistants, custodians, etc.), then note that these people also have earned the right through their hard work and training. You will also notice that they generally yield right-of-way to the faculty.\n\nIf you have an issue with other students trashing the student bathrooms (not a function of income, you silly goose, but lack of sense of "ownership"), call the custodian EVERY time you go in and find a mess. Pretty soon, the custodian will get fed up with having to clean it all the time, bug administrators, and something will be done.\n\nIn my school, when kids were trashing the bathrooms, we developed a "sign out" process during class time, to know what kids were in the bathrooms and when. Before and after school, during class changes, etc., a faculty member stands duty outside each set of bathrooms. We have no more problems.

Hell yeah they are. I work at Dillard's and I have went in there and there be pee, poop or blood on the lid. There are nasty ass women as well as men!! If you notice as you go from the first stall to the last they get worse as you go along!

ha ha, I work at a convienience store, a 24 hour one.  So I'm going to be the only person to actually tell you why, Because if they get robbed, they are to lockdown.  That's about the only reason.

I have a slightly different take on this one.  I do agree with most and try to leave it down at home because I live with my wife and I want to be kind to her.\n\nBut in public places like smaller restaurants or other places that have unisex toilets, I think it's better to leave it up.\n\nWhy?  Because the truth is--and I've never understood this--some guys are just lazy or don't give a damn, and they won't bother to lift up the seat if it's already down.  And, well, you can figure out what happens next, and it ends up all gross.\n\nThis happens all the time in the small men's restroom at work--they didn't install enough urinals for the number of men on that floor, so a lot of times we just use the cabins instead of waiting.  I can't tell you the number of times I've gone in and found it disgusting after some idiot went in there and didn't bother to raise the seat.\n\nSame thing at a house party where the liquor is flowing--if you want to end up with a nice, clean bathroom for the ladies, ladies, then make sure to leave the seat up for all the blotto blokes!  (Either that, or have two bathrooms!)

You should look up the department of health in your county and call them to find out what the law is, most likely the business is required to have a bathroom.  You can also file the complaint with them.

At my workplace, I finally posted a sign ...\n\n"Ladies, if you piss like a man, then raise the seat like a man, dammit!"\n\n... and it actually worked.\n\nIn public restrooms, I try to use the handicapped stall with the handrails, so that I can "hover" more easily -- after raising the seat of course! -- or to use my "urinette". A urinette is a kind of contoured funnel with a long tube that allows a women to urinate standing without making a mess of her clothing. Many camping supply stores sell them for hikers.\n\nBut to answer your question: Because they are filthy swine with no consideration for others. It is unspeakably vile to leave urine, feces, sputum, nose matter, and other bodily effusions lying about where others are sure to come into contact with them. These are probably the same people who resist cleaning up after their dogs.

It's up to whoever owns the restrooms. If it's in your own home, its completely legal. If it's at a place of business, the owner has the right to require you to use a male restroom- if he knows you're a male that is.

The govment was afraid that lots of people'd end up without clean toilets and grannies and grandpas wouldn't move around their homes anymore. Plus that they'd have to fine all those employers who hired the illegal immigrants- imagine it was someone who funded their campaigns!\n\nCan't be too careful these days, perhaps another Abramov indictment on their hands.

I ran into the same problem at a place where I worked. \n\nI was told…..in many places in Mexico they have poorly constructed sewage systems and they NEED to throw away their TP rather than flush it or their sewer will back up. \n\nThe company explained to the employees that this was unnecessary and that flushing your TP would not cause problems. HR started telling new hires the same thing as part of their orientation and the problem went away in a couple of months (time for them to develop new habits I guess).\n\nBe understanding and remember they are in a new country and have no idea in which ways ours differs from theirs yet. They are actually trying to be considerate and not clog the toilet.\n\nFor those of you screaming foul, this is not racist, this is a cultural misunderstanding. It is this type of problem that needs dealt with in order for everyone to get along.

there are a number of things that i hate, people picking their noses, coughing without covering their mouths, spitting in the street and not washing their hands after using the toilet. But the worst thing is going to use a public toilet and it is disgusting in there. Don't people know how to use a toilet or to flush after they used it. I bet they don't do this in their own toilet at home.
