Do shops have to let customers use their toilets?

What sort of country are we turning into when we dont let people use a fcuking toilet

A sue happy country where the insurance companies increase premiums for car owners and business owners because fraudsters are pulling scams to get money.

No lack of humanity. Purely because of scum pulling scams. If the child brought to the toilet was scum, they could make the persons life a living hell though blackmail.

God bless McDonalds. You can go anywhere in the world and know you’ll find a McDonalds where toilets are up to scratch. Can pinch out a McShïte in peace and relative tranquility.

A few years ago I was in a small outdoor clothing store and I was trying on walking boots that were 280 euros , id already decided I was going to buy them as I told manager of shop that id be taking them.

My 4 year old started saying he wanted toilet badly , like they do , they say nothing till it's nearly to late. I asked manager if I could use toilet for boy to which she said no that they didn't have a customer toilet , so I had to take off boots quickly and leave shop , the manager asked me while I was taking off boots was I still buying them to which I said I haven't time as nearest toilet was 10 mins walk away in large department store.

I asked again would she reconsider , I didn't care how clean it was , I would be buying boots to which she said no.

Obviously I didn't go back , and I went to another town in county and bought same boots somewhere else .

I just thought it was bad form and they ended up losing sale over it , and I might add the manager knew me from my previous purchases in shop which was 250 euro walking shoes just months before and a 150 euro jacket 12 months before that. ....never went back since


I feel better for getting that off my chest. ..
