Kohl's

Preface

Today was a semi-planned event.  By mid to late morning I could feel my coffee from earlier brewing so I figured today was a good day for my next blog post, however, I needed to find a decent place that met my criteria.

The general guidelines I use when selecting a place to make a deposit usually include places that seem like they'd have a clean bathroom, that it doesn't look too out of place for me to be there, and that wouldn't seem like a place that has as many male customers.  Kohl's check every one of those boxes.

I arrived mid-afternoon and immediately started scanning the area for a restroom sign.  In order to not be too conspicuous, I meandered around the guys clothing section first.  Then curved around to the backside of the store where I hoped to find an indicator of what direction to head.  No such luck.  Plenty of fitting rooms though (insert no tp joke here: #16).

Finally, along the far right side near the home supplies, I found what I came for.  As I walked down the seemly long hall I noticed the door was propped open and had a wet floor sign.  I hit the jackpot...the restroom was just cleaned and I was the first person to gain access!  I shut the hallway door and made my way to the middle stall next to the handicapped stall.  The toilet water was still blue!

On a side note, I did some looking around online and found this restroom rating system on a website called Toliet Inspector that I figured would be a good basis for my next review.  Below is loosely based on their check list.

Review

The first thing I noticed was that it was very clean and there weren't any strange yet familiar odors permeating the air.  The floor had a slight gloss from where they were just cleaned but evaporated quickly as to not get my pants wet.

During my short stay at this establishment, I only had one visitor who stayed all of a minute.  Upon checking out, it was noted the porcelain thrones were automated and the water in the sink was nice and warm.  Even though they had the type of faucet handles that required you to push them down and would only stay on for a short stint before the water stopped flowing, they stayed on long enough for me to thoroughly wash my hands in one shot.

Another plus was that they had paper towels instead of hand blowers.  I understand they're supposedly better for the environment but I personly do not like them (link to article why).  As a father, the icing on the cake was that they had a changing table.  That's a huge plus in my world.

Overall rating: 5 out of 5 rolls - would poop there again.
