Just another day in the life of a mystery shopper

I was extra busy on Saturday, broke my record, but never again. Here are a couple of samples of the day.
2nd gas station - bathroom is occupied, I wait, and out comes a man (woman's bathroom), the door to the men's is slightly open, I look inside, it is clean and functional. The guy stared at the floor as he walked by.

5th gas station - credit card function not working, the lady behind me asks if I can move my car up a little because the pump she stopped at isn't working. I tried to explain to her that she would have to go inside to pay, she gives me a dirty look and peels out of the parking lot in her sports car. The saying "No good deed goes unpunished" runs through my mind.

1st liquor store - two associates, both are named Matt, and they look very similar

1st valet - the valet does everything perfectly but insists patrons going to the restaurant are not charged for valet, no ticket, and probably no pay, described all in report, we'll see

2nd valet - lot is full both times I check

4th vizio knowledge - none of the associates are wearing name tags

Finally on the way home and speeding a little (hey I was tired and wanted get home), highway patrol pulled me over and only gave me a warning!! (so happy) and this was after he saw the liquor purchase in the back seat and asking me if I was on my way to a party

Finally in my driveway - ahhhhhhhh I was ready to break open the bottle.

The OP clearly stated that a man came out of the women's bathroom. Now it's quite possible that when the man went into the women's bathroom that the men's was occupied and he may not have been able to wait. Been there, done that. You gotta do what you gotta do in an emergency.

I have made the switch to the ladies room if its single occupancy many times. Then I looked in the ladies room and saw that it was WORSE than the mens room due to it being so dirty that people squatted instead of touching the seat. I don't need to paint more of a picture than that.
There was a lawsuit some time back about using the other room. It had something to do with the fact that there never is enough seating in a women's room and women have small bladders. There was also a lawsuit about being able to use the big stall if you aren't incapacitated and in a wheelchair. Women in general won, again because of small bladders and the general lack of enough stalls for the number of women using them.

Recently, local convenience stores have started putting signs on the women's room doors saying, "No men in women's room." I think it has something to do with the fact that most oilfield workers are male and most convenience store workers are female, but probably also because of dirt in the sink. The store floors are also in bad shape because of all the dust (and now because of frequent rains, mud).
There's also the transgender issue....what sex that man identified himself as.

Why must you vist the bathroom as part of the mystery shop? Because the client wants to know that it is clean. Why must you used a bathroom at all? Presumably you have the same bodily needs as the rest of us.

I am not sure what you are asking.

Oh - sorry I was referring to the transgender remark that was made in the previous post. I know why I go there. smiling smiley
I have always found the men's restrooms cleaner than the women's loos. Women seem to squat over the toilet, rather than sitting upon it. Hence, they wet the entire seat.

Well, in the past week, I walked into a men's restroom (I knocked first and then announced myself before entering).

A giant man was standing at what I assumed was the urinal. "What the he!! do yo want?' he asked. "I am so sorry sir!" I apologised as I immediately withdrew and closed the door.
The giant man exited a few seconds later. He regarded me furiously and then walked away. Good grief! He must have been 7 feet tall and weighing as much as 400 pounds, I thought. At least I was wearing my yellow vest - that would make me a little more official.
I apologised again, knocked on the door, announced myself and entered. He had indeed, been standing at the urinal. Unfortunately, his aim appeared to be as accurate as a sprinkler head with a bladder of an elephant.

Nonetheless, this men's restroom has been the exception. I shall still maintain the men's restrooms are much cleaner (and drier) than the women's.

I wonder if you walking in scared him and caused his aim to go wonky?

Some years back, I was a volunteer usher at an establishment that offered rock concerts. One day I learned something. As I was standing by the door waiting to let people in a young man started chatting with me. He mentioned that he was waiting for his girlfriend who was in the women's room. Then, he looked me straight in the eye and said, "I wonder why they take so long. Of course, I guess they don't pee in the sink."

You startled him, and when he partially turned around to yell at you so of course it's going to go where it isn't supposed too. That or he has prostrate problems.

Hubby asked if he (the big man) was a "Dicky Doo" candidate.

"What is a "Dicky Doo" candidate?" I asked, innocently.

"It's when his belly sticks out further than his d!cky doo," he replied. "He could be a candidate for the award."

It took a moment to register. When it did, I just rolled my eyes.

Honestly, another Wisconsin term along with bubblers, supper clubs and shorties, I've learnt.

Still, the big man did have an enormous belly.

We alwys called it "Dunlap's disease" in Georgia. That's where you're so fat your belly done lap over your belt.

Perhaps he had gotten his anatomy confused with his navel and you scared him.grinning smiley After all he was 7 feet tall and 400 pounds by your standard. How long was his arms?

BTW, if there is a line at the womens room and none at the mens room, "Hey I have a pack of antibacterial wipes, whose gamed?" The wipes are for the FLOOR, so we don't stand in pee------->We are n't going to use the urinals and we ain't gonna sit downgrinning smileytongue sticking out smiley
I Use to work at a couple casinos. The women's restroom was always a pigsty. One time the union employees went on strike and management from the casino had to fill in . I was given the women's restroom to maintain. Needless to say I got a first hand experience of cleaning 12 women stalls. Seemed to be none stop cleaning.
I also found out that the men's room was very clean. I had to give a man CPR on the floor once and it was much cleaner than the women's.

Why don't women put up the seats instead of peeing on them?

They are afraid they will fall in. Plus they don't want to take the chance of rubbing against the underside of the seat when it is raised.
