Preface
Today was one of those days where I was on the road and felt a drum solo playing in my tummy and new that it was time to explore a new place to add to my blog. With a quick Google search, I saw that Ross Dress for Less was nearby and off I went to claim my porcelain throne.As per usual, I figured I could walk in unexpectantly and get in and out without drawing any attention to myself. Also, being that it's a department store around lunchtime, I was hoping to find a clean and not frequently used men's restroom. To my delight and dismay, most of this was true...
Review
My plan was to walk in and do a quick scan of the layout to identify the location of the restroom and then casually walk over after "browsing" the men's section. However, I didn't see a sign or any other indication of the said restroom. After walking the majority of the perimeter, I finally asked a store associate who said it was back by the fitting rooms and the attendant will unlock it for you. So much for discrete...
The young lady granted me entrance and I scurried over to the only stall in hopes of getting out quickly and not being too obvious. Overall the restroom was small with one sitter (ADA) and one stander. The first thing I noticed was that the toilet seat had a few pee dribbles on it from the lazy hypochondriac (assumption/ judgment applied here) before me who didn't lift the lid up. However, with a quick wipe of some TP it was ready for action.
The TP, although bountiful, was very thin and slightly rough. I'd give the TP 2.2 out of 5. It wasn't the worst I've used in a public restroom but far from Charmin.
When it came time to wash up, I found the water to be very warm and powerful, the soap didn't smell like crap (no pun intended), and the sinks were free from any contaminants. One thing I did have to deduct points for was that it didn't have any paper towels. All it had was a hand dryer.
As a whole, the restroom itself was very clean and had a delightful scent. It seemed like it was well cared for and probably not used very often. The floors appeared to be spotless and free of any strange liquids.
Final score: 2.5 rolls out of 5: Might poop there again. The score would be higher, however, there is no way to discreetly pinch one without drawing attention to yourself.
