If you're in a public restroom, will you use the wheelchair-accessable stall or not? I usually use it. I get claustrophobic in many of the regular stalls. Plus, I usually find the handicapped stall to be the cleanest.

I do feel that parking in a handicapped parking spot if you don't have a disability is just rude and lazy, but I don't see anything wrong with using the handicapped stall in a bathroom.

I don't use it. I bet parents with the big strollers do use it since they have to bring their kids in.

In some places, the only stall is the handicapped stall....so no choice.

I don't see anything wrong with using a handicapped stall. But I only use one if it is the only available stall.

I'll use it sometimes, because it's easier for me.

I don't see anything wrong with people using them, although I personally tend to only use them if they're the only ones available. Or, if they're the nearest. For example, on one floor of my university, there is a toilet for handicapped people and last year one of my classes was just around the corner from it, so if I needed to use the bathroom quickly before going to a seminar, I'd use the handicapped bathroom.

I've used it, there's more room and the toilet is higher.

i try not to use them, only if the regular ones aren't available. when i worked at walmart briefly, i used to go in and use one at the end of shift because i had to change clothes for my 2nd job, so it provided more room

I worked at Walmart one holiday season, Kim! I hated it! The place was so messy. I swear that when people returned items they didn't want, instead of reshelving the stuff, the service desk people would just throw the stuff in a cart and put a clearance sign on it. :lol:

I use them sometimes because big people like me feel claustrophobic in those tiny little stalls :crazy:

i was only seasonal too, mike. thats about as much as i could take. the pay was good for the position i had anyway, i was a people greeter but there was always 2 of us on duty at a time so when it got slow they'd make me straighten shelves or put discarded items back to their departments. but the store i worked at was a mess, it looked like a tornado just came through no matter how much you tried to keep it neat. or my other job was cleaning the trash customers like to throw away in carriages instead of garbage cans. soiled fast food wrappers, balled up snot rags, even dirty diapers sometimes...ugghh!

Industrial toilet paper is usually only 1 ply that's why it's so flimsy.

I worked in the seasonal department. This was one holiday season when I was still in college. I took the job so that I could pay for my next semester of classes and buy Christmas gifts. I just really disliked the whole store. I don't even shop at Walmart. The store was just nasty. The breakroom was sometimes so nasty I couldn't even bare to eat in there. The walls were covered in rust. There would be food on the tables that had been sitting around for days. And the bathrooms...well, they were something else.

The week before Christmas I gave my two week notice. The very next day I has this really bad headache and called in sick. The assistant store manager, who picked up the call when I phoned in, was so rude. When I told her I had a really bad headache and wasn't coming in the day, she said, "Oh, poor baby". Then the next day she wanted me to do something for her so she walked up to me and acted like my bestfriend. She was like, "Oh, I'm so glad to see you today!". I was thinking to myself, what a phony!

I use the handicapped stalls too, for the same reason; claustrophobia. If I'm at work, I don't feel guilty, but sometimes if I'm at a public place, I always hope that there is no one in a wheelchair or who needs extra space that needs that stall. A parking space is a lot different than a restroom stall. I would sincerely hope that the parked car would be in the space a lot longer than a person would be who uses that stall.

I use whichever stall looks cleanest. If that means using the handicapped one, so be it. I've never run into a situation where using it caused any problem for a handicapped person. This is very different from the handicapped parking spaces, where if you park there, you are likely going to be there for quite a while.
