I try to avoid using the restroom (to go #2) at all costs when in sbux, but last night was an emergency and well...the restroom didn't exactly smell like a rose garden afterwards.

One of the baristas was mopping when I came out and I was scared half to death that she'd go in but luckily she didn't.

If it was you and you had to clean the restrooms right on the heels of someone blowing it up-would you prefer a head's up? Such as, "you might wanna hold off on cleaning in there for a few"? Or would that be awkward?

I'd prefer to warn someone rather than allow them to walk unwittingly into something like that.

I know this sounds like a troll post but I'd really like your thoughts.

I am the same way, I can't go poo poo unless I am at home. It is weird I know. But seriously, I would jokingly as them to wait, like this:

Give a warning, I'd say. My old sm used to take a huge dump every day, and if it was really bad he'd tell someone the bathrooms were dirty and needed to be cleaned so it would smell like spirit instead of his ****. It was do fvcked up. Everyone has to ****, but you don't have to make people suffer your crop dusting lol

@TallHotCoffee: It's sad that you're a frequent Starbucks customer and have to take a dump in a store's restroom. I'd prefer if you used the bathroom in your own home.

To put it into perspective, I have worked at Starbucks for over a year now, averaging 35-40 hours a week, and I have not once needed to sht during work.

I was disgusted after your first sentence. If you're gonna dump in a public restroom then go ahead and do it...just don't miss the toilet seat. And yes, it would be extremely awkward to give a heads up to the barista. Do your dirty work and leave.

Learn and practice the courtesy flush. It doesn't fix everything, but it helps.

I lied. I'm 100% against #2 in the bathroom now. Someone just left a small turd on our bathroom floor today.

if you have to go, you have to go.

just, don't forget anything. there was a pair of panties left in our bathroom once.

also if someone gave me a heads up on that i'd..... probably just say ok. then not go in there. it's slightly weird, but good-intentioned.

I am the sort to be too embarrassed to give a heads up! I don't know these strangers anyways, and everybody poops...

If I MUST go #2 at work, I always try to time it when my coworkers wouldn't have a reason to go into the washroom after me. I could care less about the customers :-p

One of my shifts will go take a fat S-H-I-T, then politely ask me to clean the restrooms..... Just so he can laugh at me. This is what happens when you leave us to close the store. "We create retarded moments in each customer's day."

Hi orangeblossom! How is Life: After SBux treating you?

Hello TallHotCoffee! Life after Starbucks lasted a little over a month before I came crawling back. The only reason why it's worth it is I am a shift now, and my new store is awesome!

It was a very pleasant month out of SB! Moved to a new city for a fresh start. I applied to about 30 jobs, which was a little trying. I slept in LOTS, and did things I enjoyed every day! I painted my nails, and wore nice perfume - even on days where I didn't go out, just because I could! I drank Tim Hortons coffee without shame, and bought tea from the grocery store guilt free (I've always preferred Tetleys to Tazo, but couldn't justify buying something I could get for free).

I only came back because my savings were running out, and I was encountering bad luck in the job search. The shift position was practically handed to me by a friend of a friend. I swallowed my pride and seized the opportunity.

Well I'm glad you're apparently doing better/happier. :D

I'm not sure why you'd be glad, considering her post had nothing to do with your dump-and-dash fetish.

TallHotCoffee: dump-and-dash extraordinaire. It's fitting.

this might be a little off topic, but the past 2 days in a row someone has pooped all over the floor.
anytime a barista cleans up poop we welcome them to the unofficial **** club. :( i'm in it.

If there wasn't already an official "Starbucks Union," I'd blurt out, "Let's create a Starbucks sh!t club." I'm a member of said club, and I've paid my union dues twice over for this year.

We are a small store with a single bathroom (as opposed to stalls). One day as I went in to change on my way out, there was a mighty girthy buttworm laid brazenly across the sink. I stumbled gagging and flailing out to at least warn my coworkers, but alas there was a mini-rush and I couldn't grab either of them. I plucked a warm (well I don't KNOW if it was warm considering I used 84,078 paper towels, but its PERSONALITY was warm) log of poo out of the sink, unpaid, because my coworkers looked like they had their hands full, and I didn't want their hands literally full of ****. Bam. You're welcome.

A customer once shat in our guys' bathroom sink.

I **** thee not.

Yeah our bathroom sink is kinda low down so I suppose drunken people could MAYBE stumble in and mistake it for a urinal. But this giant poo-branch was nothing less than an act of war. I only wish I knew who threw down the brown gauntlet. Dead decaf shots and sticky cups 4 lyfe.

Ick, thankfully we don't have any horrible poo stories at our store.. but we do have a regular who likes to uh, do "#3" in the men's room all the time.

Thing is, we are in a shopping precinct with no bars nearby.... So how can you be drunk enough to mistake our sink for a toilet?! Anyway, I took great pleasure informing my manager. It's not in my contract to clean that kind of **** up.

Biohazards like bodily fluids (waste, blood, so on) are a facilities matter, actually. We're not trained nor paid nor equipped to handle those kinds of situations. That being said, it's to this day unnerving that we're forced to put ourselves at gnarly risk just because the company won't hire professional janitorial/sanitation services.

Speaking of which, I'm sadly fully trained and certified to handle these types of situations. The problem, however, is that we don't have the sheer amount of Body Fluid Cleanup Kits to handle the volume of **** people have been smearing everywhere lately.
