Preface: I'm an old guy, easily qualified as an old fuddy-duddy.
I like the Burger King Impossible Burger and since today's survey was near a BK I knew what to do at noon (I actually planned it that way). First thing was to take a leak and wash up. There is one restroom, for boys and girls, together, all at once, no separation, no lock on the door. Someone thought this was a good idea??ÿ
Well, that is kind of a political issue, Bruce. So I'll just hold off on further comment. But those Impossible burgers are pretty amazing for not-beef, aren't they?
Any urinals or all stalls?
I spat the dummy when I had a BK breakfast maybe 3 years ago and after nibbling at it at home, I called the manager and I said it was disgusting and the bacon didn't taste like bacon, and he said it does taste like bacon because he's holding the bulk packet and the literature says it's bacon flavour so it must taste like bacon.
I had to find a translation of Spit the dummy:
This Australian slang expression, meaning to throw a fit, comes from the Aussies use of the word dummy to mean?ÿpacifier
BK whoppers are great American invention. Not so sure about their breakfast(es)
@bill93?ÿ
Yes, in hindsight, it's literal meaning is tricky. Aussies have some great ones (and some of them are unrepeatable in public forums), like "fair suck of the sav", where sav is short for saveloy (a small sausage), and the saying means to give an equal opportunity, like Bruce's restroom experience.
Someone thought this was a good idea??ÿ
No,It, unfortunately, will take numerous assaults and rapes for the idiots to wise up at the expense of others.?ÿ
Burger King is a rare find near here these days.?ÿ Used to me quite a few.?ÿ All gone.?ÿ If they are that wacky,?ÿ I'm glad they're gone.
Taco Tico's have pretty much disappeared as well.?ÿ Taco Bell can still be found.?ÿ Taco Mayo is rare.?ÿ We do have a Taco John's nearby, which is rare outside of a metropolitan area.
In NZ there's quite a few "Roast Shops" that do takeout meals like this below. They are my favorite but nobody has done a drive through pick up version, yet.
Actual vegetables, in plentiful quantity, in restaurant food? I wish that idea would catch on here.
Starbucks coffee houses ?ÿdid this years ago (common bathroom) and hospitals have done this as long as I can remember but they all had locks. A common bathroom seemed like a natural progression now that we are all the same ( no distinction between setters and pointers). ?ÿ
See not political, just biological. ?ÿJp
Was the BK restroom set up with a row of these male/female urinals?
?ÿ
Was in a dormitory over 45 years ago where these were installed in all bathrooms.?ÿ That way if they needed to change a floor over to all male or all female there was no need for changes in the bathrooms.
@jp7191 I have no problem with a common bathroom, with a lock on the door so one at a time, but I am distinctly uncomfortable being in a mix and match bathroom with a woman not a member of my immediate family.?ÿ
I suspect it's a code thing. The code will say that for a certain number of tables in the restaurant, gender separate facilities are not required. And to save money, both in capital and maintenance costs, the restaurant will design its facility so that it can scrape itself into that requirement.?ÿ
It would be remiss to have a conversation about the burger king bathroom without referencing it's greatest cultural touchstone.
?ÿ
The opportunity to assault someone in the bathroom doesn't change based on the signs or lack thereof on the door of the bathroom. If someone wanted to sexually assault someone in the bathroom is a "women" sign on the door really going to dissuade them. I think it farcical that a sign on the door will change criminal behavior.
That depends on what triggers the urge to do criminal things.
And if you are in the restroom with a young woman who starts screaming, for whatever reason.?ÿ
