Macy's - Rosedale 2nd floor

For some reason, just about every time I hit Rosedale mall, I have to use the bathroom. This is especially true in recent months, where I've taken to drinking large amounts of water to prevent kidney stones. Since this is the case, finding the right bathroom when I need it is key.

The bathroom in Macy's is located in a key strategic area-near the door of the mall entrance, tucked away in the women's department.

This bathroom is complicated. On one hand, it features a dark green, polished, marble-like floor. They also have a stall featuring a rather tall modesty panel. On the other, the wall tile is just your run of the mill bathroom wall tile. Overall the atmosphere is kind of a nice, moody dark place with walls that are slightly out of place.

They also have a baby changing station right when you walk in, for when you have to clean up your baby's wicked yes.

As cool as the general atmosphere is, the cleanliness is often hit or miss. This most recent time I visited it, the paper towels looked as though they had held a Mixed Martial Arts tournament, laying in shreds all over the floor. Maybe Brawny came in there, showed'em who was boss and left.

This bathroom also has some weirdness going on with it. The door to the stall, is utterly incapable of staying open, lending to the impression that someone's in there. This of course, lends itself to the uncomfortable question: "should I try to go in, and drop one, or IS SOMEONE IN THERE?"

The other weird thing is with one urinal, and the aforementioned stall issue, lines can form spontaneously, leading to a sudden case of Public Peeing Syndrome (PPS), ie, the inability to "go."

While it's overall a good, solid bathroom, it has a few small problems that keep it from contending for champion status.

2.5 to 3 out of 5 flushes. (Depends on the day)
