Even better yet, I would do an "upper decker" after being told I can't have a LVc, Daytona, SD43, SkyD and D-Blue.

Never at the AD, but I have enjoyed the restroom at our local RSC. As always, the waterproofing was exemplary

That's funny the AD in Nova Scotia (in another country but geographically one of the closer ones to you guys in Maine) is also right across from a Starbucks.

I always do this. I like the fact that those are the finest and cleanest bathrooms you can get in the city.

I dropped the kids off at the pool at a grey in Tokyo. Does that count?











I think that we now have covered just about every topic possible.

Good discussion here.

There will be a follow up thread with pics in AD restrooms so we can list the best AD's with good facilities.

I'm actually being serious! With all the time everyone claims to spend in ad's talking to sales people and getting on lists and asking for Rolex mag issues, I figure this would have been a doa thread where someone would have had the Rolex restroom ad list and Rolex mag vault location bookmarked somewhere.

I think Jocke had Rolex tp ffs.

Just stopped at the AD and asked if I could use their restroom. The saleswoman said no problem, but there is 1 dollar fee which is used to keep the restrooms cleaned and stocked (They use 5 ply toilet paper btw, which is supposed to be more tear resistant than 3 or 4 ply. Think 904L vs 316L).

The saleswoman also let me know that there is an upcoming fee increase so I’ll need to keep that in mind going forward.

I was at my AD and had to go bad! They said it was the door on the left. I went in... couldn't find the light switch but also couldn’t wait; most uncomfortable toilet seat ever. When I opened the door to leave the janitor was standing there with a funny look and asked: “What were you doing in the cleaning closet?” But the look was nothing compared to when he saw what was in his wash bucket....

I keep having problems with my right and left....

I just pee on the building when I get outside. If I gotta do a number 2 I will seek shelter behind a dumpster.

Who thinks of these great topics???

I didn't get to see the AD's watch servicing room until I spent north of 6 figures there. I dare not ask to use the felicities.

This tale would have made for an interesting and entertaining OP. But who would have believed it?

Especially if I had reported the incident.
