2 weeks ago.. sa sta.lucia mall, buti na lang may kamag-anak kaming malapit sa vicinity. Drove fast to cainta.. para lang makigamit ng CR.. I need clean and comfortable room to do my business..hehe Wished there was pay restroom lounge sa sta.lucia.


Ung sa gateway, dati isa lang ung pay lounge jan. 4th floor ata. The rest free na, kaso binago nila dahil madami kasi ang dumaraan at nakikiraan lang (LRT Commuters) kaya siguro napilitan sila para naman sa upkeep. Ngayon libre pa rin naman ung nasa basement parking at sa may movie house. Okay pa rin sila gamitin. Ung sa promenade may bayad din pero worth it naman. Lalo na kapag kailangang-kailangan na.

Just a question, why can Greenbelt provide clean and complete restrooms for free and Gateway doesn't?

Ewan ko. Kaya umiihi muna ko sa gulong bago pumasok ng mall.

Biro lang. Minsan ko pa lang nagawa iyan [emergency].

iba kasi ang target market ng GreenBelt. Class A and B. While it's not true sometimes, ang assumption is that, Class A and B wouldn't steal tissue rolls nor vandalize the CR.

Same sana ang target market ng Gateway (kaya nga walang Jollibee nor McDo sa loob eh), but it seems that they gave up that idea by making the mall a linking bridge between two Train railways. Before, walang nkakapasok don na lalaking nakasando or naka-sandals pero ngayon, meron na. Ok lang sa akin naka-sando na girl tho. hehehe. Mr.Araneta spent 9Billion just to revive that place. Now, further development are on its way. gagawin syang mini-city.

sobra naman yang Gateway..

bakit sa Greenbelt.. mas upscale pa yun.. libre ang cr. ang gaganda pa.. may bidet pa ang mga toilets..

[cutedoc]

its the customers choice whether to go on a pay toilet or the free ones, tama si boybi lifesaver yun toilet minsan especially if di kayo magkasundo ng tiyan niyo minsan.

for peeing, ok lng regular rest room, but to poop especially during those times, id rather pay 10bucks.

ot: during my college days and after i graduate, whenever i have that urge, i try to locate the nearest decent hotel to flush the unwanted baggage=)

I think sa Glorietta may pay lounge din sila..

when i'm in that area.. pumupunta na lang din ako sa Dusit Hotel.. hehehe

[chain]

agree with other posts. definitely a life-saver for me.

tandaan ko last time sa may shangri-la. I really had to go. as in REAL BAD. so I paid the amount (which isn't bad at all... heck, I'd pay 10 times the amount during that time..)

anyway, I bolted to the door and and opened it with a big resounding THUD and did my thing. afterwards, nang palabas na ako, I heard the same big resounding THUD and in rushed another guy with the same predicament. nyehehe..

+1. I think it would depend on the market the mall wants to target. hindi ko rin nilalahat, but I agree with Horspower's observation about the tissue rolls. You can add Podium and Powerplant to the list of malls without Pay lounges, perhaps due to the market they're targetting. Iba rin naman ang target ng Greenbelt sa Glorietta, for instance, kaya may Pay lounges ang Glorietta. personally, if the mall can't offer free lounges with complete facilities, like Podium or Greenbelt, it would be better if they have some free and some pay lounges, and just let the customer choose.

Why can't these malls provide clean restrooms for free? Shouldn't be a part of their service? Walang pinagkaiba ito sa usaping Pay Parking.

There's no point of argument na malinis talaga ang pay lounges but then why can't they clean their own malls without the customer paying.

yeah, business is business but providing the basic needs of customers should be on top of priorities.

Look at the new MRT (Line 2 Santolan-Recto), wala ng CR for the convenience of passengers, andun lahat nakapila sa CR designated for disabled peeps. If they mean business, they should mean service IMO!

Well... if every John & Marsha who entered the said mall purchased something from one of their stores or resto then we wouldn't be having this predicament.

It is just business... a lot of people just go to the mall para "magpalamig" lang without even patronizing a single establishment. Will they pay for the salaries of the guards & janitors, electricity, water, etc.?

[Bogeyman]

AFAIK, meron din sa EDSA Shang, both pay and free restrooms. Syempre if I can help it, dun ako sa libre. But I don't mind using the pay ones either.

Just a question, why can Greenbelt provide clean and complete restrooms for free and Gateway doesn't?

My guess is that because the people running Greenbelt probably think more highly of their upscale clientele. Gateway of course is not a bad-looking mall in itself, but IMO hindi pa rin siya ganun ka-prestigious because of the location (Cubao, where my then-girlfriend's necklace was snatched one night, and where I was approached by pimps offering a good time on two separate occasions).

[mbeige]

no problem for me. at least this way meron talaga money to maintain the restrooms.

Yun ang problema eh, hindi nga lahat maintained.

I don't have a problem with this, pero pag kelangan mo na talaga gumamit, titigil ka pa't magbabayad??? Yun lang conflict na nakikita ko. Hindi lahat ng tao may baryang handa sa bulsa.

I don't have any problem, either, with the "pay before you use" system. Since, I haven't experience yet, yung, if you don't have P10, at kung "kelangan" mo na talaga, it means ba na di ka nila talaga pagagamitin ng CR? This is cruel....

[Galactus]

In my case, everytime nasa Gateway ako & need to use the CR, I try to maximize na lang the experience, para sulit yung P10. Talagang todo sabon sa kamay and rinse kahit jumingle lang ako. Sa ordinary CR kasi, pagka-jingle, alis na, wala nang hugas-hugas!

marami silang pang sukli kung di na makapaghintay sa sukli, pwedeng paglabas mo nalang kunin yung sukli

Eh paano kung wala kang dalang pera?

[space invader]

ako, mas gusto ko sa pay lounge especially kung hndi ko na maitiis ang sakit ng tiyan ko.. it saves my day.. pero kung jingle jingle lang, eh pinag tiya-tyagaan ko lng yung libre..

and about sa gateway cr, yung sa may basement parking na cr, konti tao, malinis at may toilet paper pa.. yun nga lang, wlang mouthwash, alcohol at lotion dun.. dun ako nagbabawas kung wla akong barya na pambayad sa pay lounge.. hehehehe..

Saan exactly ito?

[Bogeyman]

Saan exactly ito?

Doc, sa tapat ng ACT Theater; nag-aabang ako ng jeep pauwi sa Tandang Sora. Noon pa yun, hindi pa ako kasal nun, at wala pa yung pink fences ng MMDA. At least, I assumed that they were the pimps based on appearance. Kung sila yung mga prosti mismo, nakupow! :lol:
