I asked the sales lady, "Pardon me, maam, do you have a bathroom?" She responded, "Our Toilets are Not for Customers! "However, if you get into your car and drive south a couple of blocks then turn east and go another block or so, you may find a restaurant which will let you use their toilet." I thought about that and realized that I was going to have to interrupt the writing of the order for $3,000 worth of light fixtures. I was going to have to interrupt it to find some other business in town whose toilets were for customers. As I got into my car, I realized that I should probably place my order with someone who was more concerned with my needs.
