On Saturday October 1st, my family and I were visiting my elderly Mother for the day. We live 2 hours south. When we arrived in Hanna City, my little 6 year old boy said that he had to use the bathroom and couldn't hold himself. I stopped at the Dollar General and asked for the key to the restroom. As the clerk began to hand it to me, a younger male customer who had been chatting about buying phone sim cards with the clerk for 5 minutes while we waited in line, told the clerk that the restrooms were closed for maintenance (more than likely they were closed for the spoon river drive traffic). The male clerk said, "Oh Yeh, that's right." He added, "Buddy, there's a whole big corn field out there that he can use". I was offended at the suggestion that my little boys needs were dismissed out of hand. I grew up in Hanna City until adult hood. What poor service and terrible behavior! Thankfully, the Casey's store had bathrooms open. Dollar General management and the owner might want to read the following Illinois statute: (410 ILCS 39/) Restroom Access Act before denying access to their restrooms again. At any rate, I won't have to worry about it. We spend a lot of money in that store. They just lost my business and my family's business. I gave 1 star because I had to....in my mind they should be a minus 5 ! ~IPO
