While not an actual Wal-Mart bathroom, it is at least representative of the service offered by that aloof jerk in the photo department.
What in the hell is going on with Wal-Mart's restrooms? I don't care what time of day or which Wal-Mart I visit, their restrooms are deplorable. Granted a lot of people use their restrooms but damn! How about a little bleach, Ajax, Pine-sol or something? It's not like they can't find cleaning supplies - the store is full of them.
This Saturday, I had to use one of their restrooms on Hallandale Beach Blvd. When I walked in that restroom I nearly threw up. The stalls are made of some kind of aluminum looking material that I'm guessing should be easy to maintain. Yeah, they had toilet paper and paper towels, but who cares! It's not like they have an employee shortage. I witnessed employees milling around dragging their feet everywhere I turned.
The employees all seem to be in some kind of Wal-Mart Twilight Zone. Can you say 'Slow as Hell'? There are ample employees to check and clean these restrooms at least every hour or so.
Just because I'm saving money doesn't mean I want to slide on piss and shit when I use one of your restrooms. Is that their new motto, 'Save on this, slide in piss'? Where is the health department when you need them?
I'm making an assumption with this but doesn't Wal-Mart make more money than Target? Why is it that Target seems to have half the employees but rarely have restrooms this filthy? And no, I don't work for Target, nor do I give a damn about Target.
This is the note I submitted to their 'feedback' platform'
"Your restroom is disgusting. Even when you first open up in the morning it's disgusting. Someone needs to scrub down that nasty, bacteria ridden, "SlumDog Millionaire" style restroom of yours- the aluminum stall walls and all. It doesn't make any sense. I see a bunch of employees in there milling around at a snails pace. You have 24-hour access to bleach, ammonia, Mr. Clean, Comet, Ajax, Lysol, or whatever you choose to use. Somebody please hose that MF down with some bleach every day. It's really not that difficult. Thanks!"
Editor's Note: In order to fact-check this story, I paid a visit to my local Wal-Mart. I found the store to be quite clean and rather enjoyed the abundance of complimentary urine provided in the men's room. Sure, the stall's could benefit from a quick thrice-over with an acre of Sham-Wow, but it's comforting consumers are welcome, even if they do think urination is best done in a rainbow arc.
I'm not personally a fecal splatter artist, but I can appreciate that someone before me obviously was, and it's this sort of art that makes a bold statement about nutritional habits in America.
