Friendly restaurant Complaint - Ladies' restroom

Complaint
Review by katkit on 2008-08-03
MONTROSE, OHIO -- A friend and I visited the friendly's restaurant in the Montrose,Ohio area the last weekend of July,2008. I went to use their restroom facilities and it was so unclean and stunk of urine that I walked right back out. Another customer walked in right after me and had a similar reaction. It reminded me of one of those open restrooms at a beach with paper everywhere and urine all over the seats!! It was disgusting!! I almost was going to cancel my food order because I had literally lost my appetite!! I just thought the company owners should know about this situation.

Women in Ohio have trouble hitting the bowl and pee on the seat? I guess I'm not too surprised.

Rather than tell the owners, did you tell the store manager? He or she might not have been aware there had been an "incident" in the loo.

DB, this is like the 3rd? complaint on this chain is the last few days. Are they bad and never been written about or were they good and went bad?

I almost was going to cancel my food order because I had literally lost my appetite!! My question, are you stating you did not walk out the door of the restaurant after observing the restroom and decided to eat there regardless?

Super...I don't know about THAT Friendly's but the one by me is very clean. I visit the restroom everytime I go there and no smell...clean seats...clean floors...

Nohandle, I was thinking the same thing as I read this. I'm one of those neurotic people that visit the restrooms most of the time before I order in any restaurant. If it's not clean I figure what I can't see must be worse. I leave. And I have left many eateries in the past. Also to KATIT: I feel sorry for you being stuck in those drive-thru's that you can't get out of, I feel like a prisoner. I also would have cancelled my order not matter how long I waited with that crews attitude. No telling what they did to the food. (I'm very untrusting)

Did you at least ask to speak to the manager and let him/her know the condition of the restroom? ..I can't believe you actually ate the food either, can you imagine the employees that used that same restroom and likely didn't bother to wash their hands..

LOL Ponie! Good one!
DebtorBasher, I'm glad to know that you can take care of business!
The visual I had of what was going on in the ladies room was not a good one, but it was kind of funny.

C2O...I have to tell you, sometimes when I go into the women's public restroom...I think of those cartoons where someone gets shot up with a machine gun, then drinks a glass of water and water squirts out of a thousand holes...I think that's what happens to some of these women when they go to pee...it just shoots out of very angle...LOL.

Really! I know some women prefer to straddle the bowl but I guess my visual of them standing back and taking aim may be accurate. I always knew that a woman's locker room was ranker than any man's, but I had no idea that a restaurant restroom was too.
Next time I miss the mark I'll just blame it on getting in touch with my feminine side. :)
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2008-08-04:
Women who straddle are the women who come out with wet feet from it running down their legs...they will try and convince you that she "Stepped" in a puddle...NOT TRUE!

Women are pigs.

The poster only came close to losing their ability to dine.
I have just about lost my ability to lust!

What happened to that "ladies helper" they came up with a few years ago?

When you sprinkle when you tinkle - be a sweetie, wipe the seatie.

The best wit I've ever seen above a toilet -

Use me well and keep me clean, I'll never tell what I have seen!

Wow! You ladies are messy

Considering it is a sit down restaurant, I'm going to bet it was an isolated incident and they, in general, keep the heads cleaner. It is possible one person trashed it not long before you entered. If it is a local place, a good test to see what's going on is if you go again and see if it's better or not. Then you'll know they don't bother cleaning it right if not.

"isolated incident" or not, the cleanliness or lack of should give you some indication of how things are running in the kitchen. Run away as fast as you can from joints like this.
