Grr.

Drug Depot does NOT have a public restroom. So whenever anyone wants to use it, they have to go find someone at the front counter, threaten to shit the floor, and then they'll open the staff restroom.

Tonight I spent a good 30 minutes working on an insurance claim, and by the time I finally got a chance to talk to a human being at the help desk, my back teeth were floating. I finally got off the phone with Medco and made a mad dash to the bathroom, only to see a huge (I'm talking 400+ lbs here) woman come waddling out, a smug look on her face.

My face looked li
ke this:

D-:

Knowing I would not get another chance to pee for the rest of the night, I did not turn back. I took my chances. I cracked the door open and only to find that the entire bathroom reeked of week old piss and B.O. I slammed the door shut.

No kidding, my eyes started watering. I grabbed the Lysol, cracked the door just wide enough to get my arm in, and started spraying.

DAMMIT!

The can was empty!

Desperate, I cracked open the men's bathroom to check the situation there, but things there weren't much better

I ran to aisle 12 and grabbed more Lysol and emptied half the can into the women's bathroom, but dammit, now it just smelled like lemons and B.O.

I tried to just hold my breath and hurry up. I couldn't get out of there quickly enough.

To top things off, I'm asthmatic, and the oxygen had pretty much been displaced from the room by the Lysol, and I came back out wheezing. Being the noncompliant asthmatic that I am, I hadn't bothered to refill my inhalers this month, and had to huff and puff my way back to the pharmacy to get those, too.

I hate it when they let customers use our bathroom!

Dammit I can't wait to leave the retail world, not only are we overworked, not only do we not get breaks, but christ, even the privacy, the dignity, the cleanliness of the bathroom is compromised, and that's just not right!

It happened at my pharmacy too. There was one time this guy came in, and after he left sh*t was just everywhere...The staff had to put a lock on the bathroom now, so whenever someone needs the bathroom, the staff had to open it. Dang, that image just linggers in my head...I never used the bathroom at my workplace anymore..so freaking grossed!
