Out of town traveler like so many are during the thanksgiving holidays. Pulled over from the drive at a Citgo CONVENIENCE store gas station called market basket and Had to use the restroom and needed a CONVENIENT place to stop. Went in and politely inquired as to where the restrooms were and was met with the surly reply of “you gonna BUY something?!” Well I wasn’t planning on it. I just needed to use the PUBLIC restroom that CONVENIENT stores generally provide to travelers. MOST travelers probably do get gas or drinks or snacks... and I probably would have if it hadn’t been for his unbelievably nasty and condescending tone... but after that unprofessional greeting, not only did I NOT use the facilities, nor purchase anything, I will NEVER stop there again if I’m in the area and DO want a drink or gas AND I’m spending 5 minutes writing this review to warn others to be prepared to PAY to use the toilet if you frequent this joint and have to relieve yourself lest ye be assaulted with the accusation of wanting to use a PUBLIC restroom without purchase.
Put a sign on the door. Purchase required to pee. Or better yet, charge admission to lieu... like the say in bridge to terabithia when the bullies are charging milk money to the little kids to get to use the bathroom... “ FREE TO PEE!! FREE TO PEE!! FREE TO PEE!!”
A little customer service goes a LOOONNNGGGG way. I had a great restroom stop across the street.. went in, did my thing, and THEN bought a drink! ~Anna
