FabSwingers.com forum: so pissed off..

there i am in Currys/PC World about to buy a new washing machine and a fridge/freezer and my little one says 'mummy i need a wee'

PANIC STATIONS!!!

I ask politely if the store have customer toilets and the lady says no.. i cheekly ask if i could allow my daughter to use the staff toilets as there was a very busy road and a 5 min run between the store and the nearest toilets which she informed me was a McDonalds. Her answer was 'No'

I litterally grabbed all my things and ran with the assistant calling out 'So are you coming back to finish purcashing these goods'... i wanted to say 'WAS I FUCK' but refrained and just said 'No, ive other priorities right now'

Was semi tempted to let my daughter piss all over the store carpets..

but wouldnt have been that dignified for my 3yr old.

I can completely understand your frustration and a similar thing happened to a friend of mine at another store. She complained later on but was told by a (very friendly) store manager that unfortunately due to H & S regulations they could no longer allow non staff to use the facilities.

Not good customer care

I had a similar situation with my daughter a few years ago, and Currys let me use the staff toilets on that occasion .....

I'd complain to their HQ, and say that under the circumstances it might have been better to meet your requirements ....

Some people take H&S regs as a reason to piss pepole off (literally

). It's a complete load of bollocks

That's why I always take an empty pop bottle with me when I am doing important negotiations with a salesmen.

We can continue bartering while I urinate in front of him.

It's difficult. One of the boys is a leaky valve and I often have to find several places when out with him. I don't like those funny portable fold-up potty things though.

I think we've all been there, but personally, I've never felt the need to complain as a parent I thought it was my duty to make sure my children went to the toilet before I traipsed them around the shops or stop at places like McDonald before I continued - but hey ho...different generation I guess!

I used to work for a large electrical company, and we wasn't allowed to let members of the public to use our staff toilets, as only the staff were insured to go out back.... So if a member of public went out back and tripped or hurt them selfs then the company could find them selfs liable and having to pay out huge sums of money, most Currys and pc worlds are on retail parks where there are public toilets!

Of course with my boy it was easier I used to carry a screw top bottle with me always. I guess if I had a small girl with me I would carry a shewee nowadays. im sure there is something available for such circumstances.

When mine were young they would be pointed at/held over the nearest external drain gulley or grate when caught short. Now my little grandson is old enough he happily ducks behind a shrub to tiddle if a shop doesn't provide facilities...sometimes before I know he's gone!

I didn't care then and I don't care now that he may be seen...it's a case of needs must.

Doesn't matter how often you send children to the toilet before going out...kids will ALWAYS need to have tiddle and usually at the time most inconvenient to adults....lol

Sadly in retail letting customers use staff toilets is only viable if there are enough staff so that one can accompany you to the toilet to ensure a) you don't steal anything en route (yes it happens even with people with children) and b) so you get there and back safely.

I'm sure the sales person would have helped if she could.

I thought it was a harsh comment on what had happened and said so. It is allowed you know, I'm not afraid to say what I think. Miss_Tress and I often have different views but it doesn't mean I don't respect her opinion. I respect it enough to feel safe in commenting as I like, just as she dies on mine.

...and if you think it was only to try and get a shag you clearly no nothing about me. This story has a very personal vein to it for me and so I won't accept the rather pathetic and easily rolled out 'sycophant' argument that implies any of my comments are automatically invalid because I 'want a shag'.

I am guessing some people had kids who peed to order.....the rest of us had kids who needed a wee at inconvenient moments.

To the OP...sadly most stores don't have public loos which makes it awkward when you have little ones who need a wee....that being the case... I wouldn't have gone back either to re order.

I know of one couple who were looking at new bathroom suites in a large DIY store when they noticed their young daughter sat on a display bog ,knickers around her ankles.

Their worst fears were realised when she announced loudly that she was having a poo .

The previously mentioned folding potties are quiet handy for camping. The come with liners that are basically a bag with a square of nappy attached to the bottom - makes for far easier disposal than a bottle of wee!

I thought one of the things about men and camping was the ability to lift the flap, stick it out and just pee.

Agree, it's not about the customer being in staff toilet.

Where I work if a customer was to go to our staff toilet they would have to walk through our Wharehouse, that's where the danger is when we are getting deliveries, staff in Wharehouse wear safety clothes and shoes so if we let customers in and something happened to them then it would be our fault.

I would think would be the same in most shops .
