Now that's amazing. Is it maybe hidden in the handicapped stall? That's often the only place with enough wall space available. Also, is there maybe a second bathroom somewhere? I thought my grocery store didn't have one until I politely complained to customer service about it and they told me I had actually been using the employee bathrooms, the other bathroom that I didn't know about was much larger and had a changing table in it.

That's good news. There will soon be more spaces.

Fucked-up place for it.

There's a Starbucks inside the Tom Thumb, but (hilariously) there's another standalone Starbucks right out in front of the Tom Thumb, about fifty yards away. With it's very own Starbucks parking lot.

Anyway, my pregnant wife (third trimester and carrying a 1yo in her arms) either has to waddle across the parking lot, through traffic, or park "illegally" in the special Starbucks parking spots. Guess where she parks.

Oh, and also Tom Thumb doesn't have a changing table in their bathrooms. And this is the fancy (expensive) store.
I suspect because people who just found out that they were pregnant would be legally able to use them. A woman in her first trimester may not need the space as much as one in her third, granted, but it does not say for women in their third trimester only. And how do you prove it? Carry around a copy of your +HCG labs?

Seriously, no good can come of it.
It can take me a long time to do my stuff, especially if I am having a bad day.
I would feel bad for some poor guy with his messed-up kid having to wait on me because of some idiot manager/owner who was brain-dead enough to put it in the disabled stall.
Then again, I may have to go very badly. Sometimes I get diarrhea when I am in a lot of pain, combo of the stress of pain and the extra meds. Having to wait for someone to change their kid is equally FUBAR.
The whole situation is fucked... what kind of mouth-breather thinks that is a good idea?

Architect/Safety/Squeemish people.

Can't get a changing thingy in a regular sized cubicle. Choice is handwashing area or disabled cubicle. Go figure. And, of course, children disable you -hence the need for handicapped-like spaces for up-the-duffers.

All the ones I used when my son was small was out in the open.

Really?????

So what you are telling me is that G1P0 female who is 2 weeks prego looks prego in your eyes? Cool!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, how about a 300 pound woman in her third trimester, you can tell her apart from a 320 pound woman who is not prego???

And no-one complained? You got lucky.

rkzenrage 10-12-2007 11:17 PM
Honestly I would not remember if they did. I would have told them to get fucked. You forget how "caring and compassionate" I am about other's feeling when it comes to their getting into my shit.

monster 10-12-2007 11:52 PM
I don't. But I know how quick stores can be to compy to the wishes of the squeakiest wheels.

rkzenrage 10-12-2007 11:53 PM
Perhaps I should carry a crow-bar around in my back-pack (should that be wheel-pack?) and tear the ones in the disabled stalls off the wall?
*squeak*

monster 10-13-2007 09:37 AM
that'd work

Absolutely. The handicapped toilet (in nightclubs at any rate) is referred to as "the boardroom" and is the location of choice for couples looking for a bit of privacy for a quickie. Damn it would put you off to have someone changing their baby while you were at it. And having RK pounding on the door and shooting the hinges off ... way to spoil the mood, dude.

You forgot: manager.

Apologies to any cellarite managers. I am sure you do a good job.
