Not too long ago I was the manager on duty and had to help the Copy Center employee with something. A customer came up and started screaming at me. This was about 7pm on a slow night, so we were a little short handed. (sorry for the caps... added for emphasis where he was yelling)
<SC> I AM SO EMBARASSED!
<Me> huh?
<SC> I was just taking a CRAP in your bathroom and there WASN'T ANY DAMN TOILET PAPER! I had to pick up my pants and GO TO THE LADIES ROOM! I AM SO EMBARASSED!
<me> Um... I'm sorry, what can I...
<SC> DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING CHECK YOUR BATHROOMS? DO YOU KNOW HOW EMBARASSED I AM! I GOT CRAP IN MY PANTS! DON'T YOU CHECK THE BATHROOMS?!?
<me> Yes we do... but usually only in the mornings and at night. (FYI, the store manager himself cleaned it that morning and filled all the paper)
<SC> Well, there wasn't any toilet paper and the FUCKING paper towels were empty too! I HAD TO GO TO THE DAMN LADIES ROOM TO WIPE MY ASS! IT'S EMBARASSING!!!
<me> Um... ok. Sorry. I'll go take care of it.
I walked away and checked the bathrooms. He left a little mess, and yes there wasn't any TP, but I have some questiones I should have asked him:
1. Don't you CHECK to see if there's any TP before you take a crap? I always do, just in case that happens.
2. Isn't it more embarassing to scream "I HAVE CRAP IN MY PANTS" in the front of a retail store than the act of having to scoot to the ladies room to snag some TP?
3. What did he want me to do about it after the fact? Wash his bum?
Personally, if I REALLY had to go and there was no TP I'd either A) ask an employee to get me some BEFORE I went (remember, I'd check first), B) ask my wife to snag me some from the ladies, or C) go to one of the 3 other major stores in the shopping plaza who, by the way, have much larger and nicer bathrooms than our little one. In fact, I recomend Target's bathrooms, cuz they have really nice foaming hand soap and both paper towels AND hand driers.
