I know the restaurants have restrooms but they are only for people eating there. The only other place I have seen one is in Dick's Sporting Goods and that store is off the main road in the back and I am sure it is intended for those shopping at their store. I have been to many outdoor malls and there are always public restrooms.

Thank you so much for that info. Sometimes I just drive through to see what is going on. Next time I will ensure that I have an empty coffee cup close by. LOL.

Fox & Hound is another good place. They're got a nice, wide open bar area with bathrooms right beside. I must admit, I've stopped in there before just to use the restrooms.

Do they give you a hard time about just stopping in to use the bathroom??

No, not at all. I've only visted just to use the rest room probably only two times. The first time, me and my female friend told them what we needed, and they politely directed us to the rest rooms. The second time, I just told the people at the front I was going to the bar. Their bar is a very open, high traffic area. So the fact that you'd just walk in to use the restroom and walk out, wouldn't cause a scene at all. You'd have to see the way its set up to understand.

We go to Barnes and Nobles. They don't seem to care.

Pier 1 is also another option.

It's a good point, I think if Birkdale ever modifies they should put one in, but any time you put in a public bathroom, you have added a step and cost to the maintenance. Plus publich bathrooms often bring in some unwanted folks. I have never had an issue in any place using their restroom. The smaller resteraunts may be the only ones, as the rest don't mind the foot traffic.

It kinda makes a good business since to not have a public restroom.
While you are in a store or restaurant you might decide after you have dont your dead you might decide you want something.
