I will remember that next time I am in midtown and need to go.
Ha! But there is an art to knowing where one can go to use the bathroom in nyc. There was even a Seinfeld episode joke about this too. Department stores or larger chain retailers are usually a good bet. Also bars are another good option. Basically any place you can walk in anonymously works for a “public” bathroom.
My company’s office is in a WeWork space and a recent perk I took advantage of was that I can enter any WeWork location (in the US, not just nyc). I was walking by the Empire State Building and was thinking “ah, I drank too much water! Where is the closest bathroom...” Normally the answer for that area would be Macy’s, Penn Station, Kmart, but I looked up and saw a WeWork sign right across from the Empire State Building! It was a great discovery that I now have a new network of clean bathrooms to use throughout nyc and other cities LOL!
Yes. I was also in a Starbucks in the city early one morning killing time before a job interview. A city bus driver came in and asked to use the bathroom. He said he always used the McDonalds across the street but they weren't open yet. The person at the counter said no. He asked for the manager and said he would not have a chance to go again until he did his whole route. The manager also said no. I was appalled. You could see the McDonalds was closed, he was in uniform and his bus was at the curb in front of the store. He clearly wasn't looking to move his belongings into the bathroom and live there.
There was also another Starbucks incident a few years ago in Philly. Apparently a uniformed sergeant was denied the bathroom key code because he was not a paying customer. His Facebook post about it went viral. Seems like this part of Philly (Center City) may be more strict in general.
I just saw the two men being interviewed on Good Morning America. I noticed they had issues articulating themselves, their attire should have been thought out more, and I was surprised none of them decided to groom themselves to be on national TV. One of the guys still has twists in his hair and was popping gum the whole time. In my humble opinion, one should take pride in the way they dress. If one doesn't care about the way they dress, why should someone care to treat them with respect? Unfortunate, but true.
If they dress that way for Good Morning America, I am sure they may dress even worse for a job interview. They probably wouldn't even get hired at Starbucks if they came in dressed like that.
Still shocked this happened because almost every employee at Starbucks in NYC that I have been to is black, Spanish and Blatino.
I feel bad to a certain degree for the manager who was fired. I hope she sues Starbucks and gets every penny.

Well, now you're just trolling. You probably were earlier too, but luckily I didn't waste my time reading all your posts.
