Gordmans - Ellisville, MO


Now, I know I said that I would only do restaurants, but I thought, "Eh, why not? I got nothin' better to do." So, here we go.

Privacy/Security
  • The stall wall didn't seem all that sturdy.
  • The stall door had two locks, but only one of them actully worked. The other one seemed store bought. It was a gold circular shape, and seemed more pretty than useful.

  • 2 sinks, 1 soap dispencer, 2(?) paper towel dispencers
  • 1 urinal, 1 stall
  • Coat hanger on stall door
  • Air Freshener
  • The toilet didn't really work well, if at all. It was hard to tell if it was doing its job or not.
  • Baby change station
  • GOJO hand soap. (The foam stuff)
  • Seats outside of bathroom
  • A strange paper towel dispencer. It had two slots for paper towels, but only one could be used.
  • Gift Card ads on mirrors
  • A lightswitch.

Cleanliness

  • Nothing to report here. I guess that means it was clean enough.

Atmosphere/Decor

  • There was a plunger behind the toilet.
  • White drywall
  • Tan tile floor
  • Yellowish-tan stall wall
  • Hole in the wall, about the size of your pointer finger
  • Well lit
  • Cigar poster
  • Slightly annoying heater noise behind the wall

Music
None.

Jack in the Box - Wildwood, MO

I went with my family to Jack in the Box a few days ago. The restroom wasn't half bad.


Privacy/Security
  • The stall door seemed to small. There were big gaps on the top and bottom of the door.
  • The "stall" was pretty much another room, kind of like the Burger King in Ellisville, MO.
  • The urinal was right next to the stall door, but enclosed, so it felt pretty secure.
Features
  • 1 sink, 1 soap dispenser
  • 1 "stall," 1 urinal
  • 1 hand dryer
  • 2 trash cans (one in the stall)
  • No mirror
  • Toilet seat covers
  • Odd toilet paper dispenser. It was half open, half enclosed
  • Super thin toilet paper
Cleanliness
  • Air freshener
  • A sign that told everyone to wash their hands
  • A "we clean this bathroom often" sign
  • The soap dispenser was over the ground, meaning any soap that didn't make it into your hands made it to the ground.
Atmosphere/Decor
  • Grey tile floor with matching stall door
  • Whit tile wall with a checkered red and black stripe
  • Well lit
  • The bathroom smelled kind of smokey, despite the air freshener
Music
None.

McDonalds - Holt Summit, MO

While coming back from a youth retreat in Roach, MO, we stopped at a vintage McDoanlds in Holt Summit to eat lunch. (Yes, that is the actual picture of the restaurant.)
