Dave Alpert’s Deep Thoughts for Oct 14, 2009

I’ve discussed public restrooms previously.  While I’m not obsessed with the subject, I couldn’t help but ponder them again today as I graced the Panera Bread restoom in Coolidge Corner with my “presence”.

Why is it that almost all restrooms have coat hooks in the stalls?

but they NEVER put them in the wash area…

Inevitably, you either have to throw your coat on a bathroom floor, or, more likely, wash your hands with your coat on.  Why not put a hook near the sink?  It will encourage better hygiene and allow patrons to comfortably wash their hands without getting their sleeves wet.  Just some food for thought.  And while you’re contemplating that…

Come hang out tonight!
