    As someone who did suffer from a “bowel related disability” I appreciate that you are willing to take this stand.

    I will however also add that in case of genuine emergency there was literally, and I assure you that I am using that word correctly, no force on earth that would prevent the inevitable from happening. The desperate determination with which I asserted that need proved sufficient, on at least one occasion, to gain me access to an airplane toilet during taxi.

    If a Starbucks employee denied me access to their toilet at a moment of genuine need they’d’ve ended up with a pile of very loose stool on their floor.

      And that is exactly why some states have instituted these cards which are supposed to be able to show businesses that this person can use your restroom right now no matter what you feel about it.
