Couple months ago I found myself needing to stop at a McDonald’s in probably one of the worst neighborhoods you can find outside of the inner city. Nature was calling and it seemed like my best option.
It was for paying customers only, fair enough, I made a token purchase of a McChicken and some fries, and got an employee to unlock the door for me.
I was greeted with that eerie blue light that bathrooms in places like this use to deter drug use because it makes it harder to find a vein.
It gave off an all-around really unsettling vibe, but I will admit that, at least as far as I could tell given the lighting, it seemed to be immaculately clean.
As unsettling as that can be, I certainly prefer it to what I’ve seen at some rest stops - mostly in Pennsylvania, but I’m not well traveled - where, to discourage drug use, they have half (at best) stall doors which (by design) provide no privacy at all.
