Har Mar Barnes and Noble

While the store itself is pretty good, there's nothing noble, and everything barn-like about this bathroom. Upon stepping into this bathroom, one's eyes are greeted with a reasonably clean bathroom, decent counter and tile (though old) and several spots in which to complete your transaction.

But when you finally have to breathe in, usually from the nose like most normal people, the gag reflex kicks in big time. Your olfactory glands will be wrangled into a full-nelson of putridness rivaled only by an actual animal smell.

The smell, oh the smell.

In the many years of patronizing this store, I have maybe one or two times found this bathroom's smell to be tolerable. Typically, it smells like someone has dropped a prime deuce nearly bringing one to vomit on each trip. To say it smelled like something died would not even begin to describe it. It smells more like the handicap stall has been turned into a cage for bigfoot.

If you find yourself in this store and have to go, 1 or 2, skip it, go across the hall to homegoods, or even one of the mall bathrooms.


Vital stats:


3 stall

2 urinals

1 persistent, unearthly stench

Comments:

Though mostly clean, there is sometimes a mountain of paper towels growing out of the garbage can. The urinals also could use an update and cleaning.

Overall

-1 out of 5 flushes, without that smell, i might give it a 1 or 1.5
