Should Homeless citizen Use group Restrooms in Fast Food Restaurants?

This is a topic that was brought up on a blog I read where a friend tried to take two homeless men he had met into McDonalds to have a meal on Christmas. They were not allowed entry because they have previously used the restroom and not been paying customers.

My personal belief is I see nothing wrong with them using the toilets and I am not offended by homeless population in any way. If I were to run across them, I would likely offer to buy them a meal.

Toilets

From a firm standpoint, I think McDonald's has the right to keep their toilets for paying customers. Therefore, if they did not purchase anything, they could legally ask them to leave the restaurant. However, when they came back with you later to have a meal which you were paying for, they did not have the right to refuse their entry. The only irregularity would be if that particular McDonald's filed a complaint and obtained a court order banning these two gentlemen from the property.

I believe this is why the McDonalds' in D.C. Has pay toilets. If you buy something, you get a token to use the toilet; otherwise, you have to pay to gain entry to their restrooms. Seems unquestionably silly and over the top to me but they get to make this decision about their restaurant.

It could have been that man at that McDonald's just doesn't like the homeless. We can't blame McDonald's as a whole. Our local McDs used to serve a concentrate of homeless gentlemen quite often. In cold weather, they would come in and by a coffee and sit for hours. They would get free refills and they never bothered whatever and no one seemed to care. Occasionally other patrons would buy them meals or give them money to get something and sometimes population would just sit around and talk with them.

When I was a teen, I worked at McDonald's in Va and we found a homeless man scavenging in our dumpster area. So every night when we had leftover food that would have been thrown out, we put it in a bag and settled it face for him. We weren't supposed to according to legal rules but our employer knew we did it and never said anything.

It's sad more population can't have more compassion. Of policy these are only my personal opinions on the matter. What are your thoughts?

Given that greater Atlanta has more than 5 million residents, along with the 700,000 that live in Cobb County, that would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 plugged toilets.

Children should be warned not to flush any household objects or Toys down the toilet. If your house is on a septic tank, never, ever attempt to flush tampons or any other feminine hygiene products down the toilet. This is especially important because a septic tank is designed to hold waste that decomposes, and any man-made paper goods such as diapers will only clog the system. If you have a sewer system, you can only flush tampons if it specifically says on the package. If not, just wrap them in a plastic bag or newspaper and throw them away with your trash.

In the event that your toilet does clog, or even worse, backup and start overflowing all over an upstairs floor, there are a few steps you can take before calling a plumber.

Then, try plunging the bowl to loosen the clog. If that doesn't work, you'll have to grab a pot or a dipper to bale out the water into the sink or bathtub. Call for man to bring a pail if you need to. If it is considered that there might be something inside the toilet that is causing it to clog, find a small handed house member and ask them to place their hand in a long glove or plastic bag, and try to reach in and see if they can unclog the toilet.

If you are the house member elected for the job, be sure not to get your hand stuck too. This may or may not work, but it is very straightforward and regularly very easy. Needless to say, every house should have a toilet plunger that is only used for the toilet, and not to be used in the kitchen sink as well. Most plungers are specially made for toilets, and will not damage or scratch the porcelain.

It is very foremost to start off gently, and gradually build your way up to using more pressure. This is where the strongest member of the house might prove to be useful. Persistent plunging can regularly free even the most stubborn blockages. If these procedures fail, then it is probably time to call a plumber. When it comes down to a battle with a plugged toilet a pro plumber rarely loses.
