I’ve been up and down this country and outside of the pandemic one certainty had been that if I need to piss and I see a McDonald’s I know I’m covered. This changed during the pandemic since many of their lobbies were closed. But in the last year I haven’t seen a McDonald’s that you couldn’t walk into and use the facilities. Now they’re not always the cleanest bathrooms, but they’ve always been there.

People talk a lot of shit about McDonald’s but there’s a lot to be said for a rock solid never changing option anywhere in the country.

Hotel lobbies also have great facilities

Supermarkets. Big Box stores. Malls always. Bars usually, buy a soda, tip the bartender.

One time I availed myself of a 24 hour porn shop at 3am. The bathroom was spotless.

I relied on department stores and Western-style hotels when indisposed in Japan. There weren't many McDonald's around where I was.

> outside of the pandemic

This was when our reliance on McD's became much more obvious. During the pandemic they closed outright for a while, and then opened just the drive-thru, and it was months before they were fully open inside with bathrooms again. It made road tripping with the kids a bit more exciting. Fortunately one of my kids can pee on the side of the road easy enough in a pinch.
