I don't know who to be ticked off at!

Our local super market has converted its restrooms to all gender. That's fine. The old women's room just has two stalls (dunno about the old men's). But the thing that ticks me off is that there are now no places to dispose of menstrual materials. I guess you just roll pads and tampons in toilet paper and leave them on the floor? Also no dispenser for pads or tampons, but I honestly don't remember if there ever were any.

Anyway, I guess it's the grocery management I should be ticked off at. But what's their point??????? The old receptacles had to be removed. It wasn't just an oversight.

If an establishment is going all-gender, they're supposed to be making it friendlier to everyone.

NOT taking away its functionality or friendliness for anyone.

Never a problem but there’s gotta be trash cans! Some people do wash up after doing their business

5. This has little to do with gender and everything to do with basic sanitation and the person to talk to is the manager

Roll 'em in TP and drop 'em in there like we used to have to when I was in high school millennia ago.

Why have I never seen this before? This would have been so useful on numerous occasions.

I understand he is the root of all evil, and if something bad happens, he could have prevented it, if he wasn’t so meek.

At least, that’s what I’ve heard.

Watch how quickly an option will appear. Sounds gross? It is intended to be.
