Road tripping has taught me many of bathroom thing. Dunkin' Donuts, Burger King, and any type of Chicken Shack- bad, bad news for bathrooms. Always yuck. Either because the decor is brown, old, or its just plain unideal. Grouting is always an issue at these establishments, also. Go figure. From here in the Chi-town area, all the way to the stalls on the beautiful coast of California- these fast food places earn a D to F grade. Always.
McDonald's however, is always a surprise. Often times they would Meet or Exceed expectation and earn an A or B- even in Nebraska and Kansas. But sometimes you bump into one that makes you worry. The Forest Park McD's makes me worry. Not because of its bathrooms, but because its a mental panic button for me and my Crohn's. Throughout every morning of the ongoing past school year, my health status got more and more uncomfortable and more and more set off by any nerves, deadlines, rushing, or impending meeting that I thought I might be late for. Plus, a busy morning, getting ready to drop off Natalia always made for a unpredictable gut. So, it always seemed that I would be fine, but then over the hill and under the el tracks we would drive and suddenly Crohner's would rumble and hit. Always at 7:25 am! Annoying. I don't know how many times we had to mad dash through the intersections at mock speed, blowing red lights, to get me runnning to the bathroom here. One time, I even just opened the dorr and ran through the intersection without looking or stopping, much to Noah's anger and fear. So you get the point. I see the Forest Park McD's and I panic- even still on summer vacation. Last week, it did not fail. Dropping Natalia off on Wed, as we do, those golden arches set me on Critique a la Salle, two times! Each time, they delivered and I thank them.
Two clean stall.
Big fancy sink.
Always someone just having cleaned it at that hour- great.
Fully loaded TP.
And a very inviting WOMENS door with frosted glass.
All around- it has never failed to be great and deliver when panicked.
Thanks.
I give it an A.
