Pay per use of Rest room??

[Innova_Boy]

I notice that in Gateway and Farmers Cubao, most of their rest room have pay before you can use it.... But the one i tried is at gateway and they have listerine, jergens lotion, alcohol, toothpic at the desktop counter for evryone to use...

Is this alright with you to pay P10 jsut to use it??


WBR,

[BlueBimmer]

business lang yan, nothing new about those restrooms rentals

[yebo]

depends on 2 factors i suppose.

1. need. when you got to go you got to go! for someone with a bum stomach P10 is way cheaper than having to buy new pants and underwear, not to mention the shame ehehehehe! and this is assuming you will have someone with you to send go buy a pair of cheap jeans and underwear. paano pag wala?

2. hygiene and convenience. how many times, especially for the women, that you go into a cubicle and find it filthy. or worse someone before you failed to flush because there is no water and left his memories swimming in that little golden pond, staring you in the eye and offending your senses (primarily your sense of smell!)

P10 is cheap. if you can afford to give P50 as tip to the waiter that served you that lunch that caused your bum stomach, then you can afford to pay p10 to the guy who keeps the toilet clean where the lunch eventually goes ehehehehe!

hmmm, sa akin hindi. it should be part of the facilities which are provided by the mall owner. kasi naturally, people use restrooms while in the area because they eat and drink....

[oldblue]

yes, actually mas ok nga eh. kung ebs na ebs ka na very useful.

konti pa tao.

[roninblade]

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

[jonski]

ok lang sakin yon. para mas mamauntain yung restroom.

I guess they should provide free and pay lounges. Just to give the customer a choice.

Kung puro pay iyan, baka sa pader na lang magsi-ihi ang mga customer.

Sa Gateway nasa pinakataas ng building yung free CR.

sa akin mas ok. kasi may irritable bowel syndrome ako eh, pagkakain, takbo na! convenience on my part for just P10 a pop! hehe

[XTO]

it is okay to have those one para sa mga talagang "in need" at medyo
maselan but they should also have the one's for free na easy to locate
hindi yung mga nakatago.

But what would be the difference between the free and pay lounges?

Free - dirty? Pay - clean?

Otherwise why pay when you have access to clean restrooms?

Note though the National Building Code requires public facilities to provide adequate restrooms. But then again it also requires public facilities to provide adequate parking spaces. Which public building owners do - for a fee. Following the logic, I guess it won't be long before all restrooms will start charging entrance fees. And mall stairwells and obscure spots will have "Bawal Umihi Dito" signs.

Yup. Dapat ganito, so the buying (or malling) public has a choice. If I just had to do a #1, i'd probably just opt for the free lounge. But for a #2, the pay lounge will come in handy

Accessibility po.
"May bakanteng lote sa taong ta*ng-t*e..." dami din tissue...

[architect]

I guess so.

btw, edalbau, re your IBS, it is most probably due to some allergy you may have to some types of food. You may try watching what you eat and see if your IBS acts up or not. Simple process of elimination will tell you what food to avoid.

I tried. Kaso tinatawag talaga ako ng mga hipon, alimago, lechon at manok po eh.
Kaya kumakain na lang ako sa mall na may lounge... Hirap lang ako sa Seaside dyan sa may Baclaran, liit ng CR eh. hehehe

Di naman po nangiistorbo si IBS palagi eh, mga 30% of the time lang po.
Thanks for the advice po.

these Pay Restrooms are life savers for me!

[j_avonni]

Mall, restaurant, or building owners should provide free and clean restrooms for their patrons. However, this is not being followed. Hence, we have no choice but to pay if we wanted to use a clean rest room.

[Horsepower]

Totoo pla yang IBS? i thought it was just a joke i usually see in Hollywood movies (i.e. Along came Polly, The Lady Killers etc).

Anyway, Gateway was supposed to be an upscale mall. first 2 floors, pay lounges lahat, 3rd and 4th, free. Wag ka lang dun sa 1st floor, sa may tabi ng Rustan's Supermarket, sobrang kintab ng floor kita mo yung katabi mo. hahahaha.

If i usually need to use the CR more than for pee-ing, i usually go to pay lounges. Cleaner, quieter (since there are few peeps inside), more tissue, complete amenities and airconditioned for only 10 bucks. A typical vendo machine sells a tissue for 4 pesos so it's a no brainer. The primary reason why Malls do have pay lounges is because for sure, passers-by would make the mall their CRs, steal the tissue rolls, etc.

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