    Tell me you’ve never had to clean blood of the walls of a stall in a toilet at your minimum wage retail job without telling me you’ve never had to clean blood off the wall of a stall in the toilet at your minimum wage retail job.

    I get the joke, i agree with the message but I also agree with the bathroom being for customers only…

    It’s a mistake you only make once, they just need to use the bathroom and you feel like an asshole for turning them away so you let them use it and the next thing you know you’re cleaning fucking blood off the fucking wall.

      You know that isolated hostility is the end point of trying to protect yourself from harm right?

      Being a good person and practicing pro social beliefs means opening yourself up to the possibility of being taken advantage of. It is ludicrous to hurt everyone, or at least an entire class of people, because of the occasional actions of some.

      I have. I did it and if things go well, I’ll be hired and it will be part of my job.

      I’ve cleaned blood, piss, shit, vomit, cum. It wasn’t pleasant. It won’t be pleasant when I have to do it for minimum wage again.

      I’m a broke bastard. I like being able to take a shit like any human being. Human beings should be able to take a shit without expecting to pay markups on concessions and things.

      Why do we put a price on the human need of removing waste? The workers are already paid. The toilets are used no matter who uses them. The things must be cleaned already.

      Exactly, I feel like this is kind of a BS argument made by the right to say this is why liberal values are fake vs on the flip side they would be showing a wrecked bathroom in a private business to prove why liberals are suckers and liberalism is unsustainable. Like “This is what liberals want for America.”

      In reality most liberals just want you to fairly tax that business and property owners and use those tax dollars to reinvest in the community by building and maintain public restrooms and other public spaces… It’s really not rocket science.

      Nobody could reasonably argue it’s on you to provide public access to the bathroom in your home, why would it be different for a business? Guests/customers are one thing, but liberalism is not arguing it’s on you as an individual to take care of society.

      It’s on society to take care of people, and on you to contribute to and reinvest in society as in individual to be part of something greater than just yourself.
