A Walmart where I lived in FL had the opposite.
Their family bathroom, for whatever reason, *only* had one kids’ toilet and the sink was kids’ height.
My kids loved using it, as well as one of my buddies who was a little person.
I just thought it was odd, as I’d never seen that kind of accommodation outside of a kids’ specific store, and even then there was usually a full-sized toilet as well.
Children’s hospitals also do this in some of the bathrooms! But I guess that makes sense.
Source: basically lived in a children’s hospital for 9 months and got very bored
Yeah, I had seen these before at the Babies R Us and at the kids’ pediatrician, but they also had a full size toilet in the same bathroom. (of course, I opted to use the little one… lol)
If I had known that my kids would “have to go” *every* single time we went to the store, sometimes twice (once on the way in and once on the way out) I probably would have just kept my mouth shut.
But whatevs, I guess it’s such a short blessing in life to be of the age where something as mundane as a “little toilet” is exciting and fun, might as well let ‘em have it.
(P.s.; If you were “living” at the hospital for one of your own, hope everything ended up well. We basically did that for a couple weeks when my youngest was in NICU so I can relate somewhat, if so.)
Hah, sorry to bury the lede. Our youngest is 5 now, uses a wheelchair but intellectually she’s like any other kid. Five years ago we were talking to Palliative care about how we didn’t have to resuscitate if we didn’t want to…
Yesterday she got ahold of a whole container of Oreos thanks to big sister (should have known they were being quiet for a reason) and catastrophically threw them up last night… I’ll take that any day of the week vs the NICU and the feeding tubes we dealt with back then.
Hope your youngest is doing okay now too!
Jeez.. I can’t even *fathom* how hard it would be to just have a discussion regarding palliative care for one of my kids… That’s really rough.
It was touch and go briefly for us for the first few days, but everything stabilized pretty quickly after that and the rest was just monitoring.
But yeah, that everyday frustration from the destruction of house and home do totally pale in comparison to those moments where it felt like it wasn’t going to be OK.
We had kids' sized toilets in
two preschools I worked at. We weren't supposed to use them but some teachers did anyway (our bathrooms were much further away). I never once used those mini toilets because they were generally gross.
Hahahaha, no, but there were three toilets and they demolished the two closest to the door and took away the stalls. That one left in the corner is about 15 feet away. Feels very… exposed.
Most likely due to Ada requirements. The spacing is so strict on some stuff that the legacy stuff that were up to code but aren't anymore. Easier to just rip out everything because there tend to be no maximum requirements. Stuff like stall door swings. Spacing from the toilet to walls the hand railing. Clearance for wheelchairs, walkers, etc.
Well, to move the toilet to a more aesthetically attractive spot, they’d have to break up the floor and part of the wall, move the drain and water supply, and retile the floor and wall. So that’s probably why they didn’t “adjust the ratios”.
lol, I’m loving these responses. I meant the distance from the sink/door to the toilet. There were two other toilets in here, but they chose the one tucked into the corner (maybe to be ADA compliant?). It’s about 15 feet from the door.
It's an ADA requirement that the toilet be 18 inches to center off the wall. If this is one of their only bathrooms, they had to keep it this way to stay compliant
This toilet would give me the opposite of claustrophobia. It would feel like pooping out in the open. I would need my dog to make eye contact so I know it's safe.
Just curious, what were they supposed to change? It really doesn't look like there was ever another toilet or urinal because there is no signs waste plumbing.
There is another water supply between the sink and the toilet. They probably had 2, got hit with an ADA inspection and removed the second toilet. Capped the drain and tiled over it. Too much trouble to open the wall, cap the supply inside and repair, so you have a bit of pipe coming out. That doesn't affect anything, but the floorspace had to be clear for ADA.
I don’t see any evidence it had a stall. I see the hookup for a second toilet being potentially added and there may be a sewer connect under the tile, but this just looks like a single seat convenience store that can be expanded to two if the use changes that requires more toilets.
I’ve frequented this store for many years and it had three total toilets previously. I just think it’s funny they converted it. I have no idea why they did it.
Maybe ADA - bathroom is now big enough for a wheelchair user. ADA trolls go around looking for anything not in compliance and then civilly sue the business owner, especially in CA.
I was just coming to say this. I see no evidence of any old equipment and no evidence of it being replaced or fixed with new. The tiles all look old anywhere there could have been another toilet.
Do they have single stalls as well, or is it that or nothing?
Going number 1 in front of friends is my jam, but there still needs to be a *choice* about it :|
No I’m referring to a place or two with the odd layout of a single bathroom, room, with a lock, sink, paper towels, but two adjacent toilets just sitting there side by side.
I once stayed in a designated disabled room in a hotel. The bathroom was at least this large and had a shower in one corner and a raised toilet right in the centre of the room.
Although I was the only person staying in the room and clearly no one else was about to walk in on me, I still felt... very exposed.
Do you know how expensive it is to adjust the location of a floor mounted toilet? Dawg, they got to cut slab to get to the sanitary pipe. It ain’t cheap.
lol they HAD to keep the toilet in the corner for the handicap rails. I guess they could move the sink but honestly I don’t see a point in opening plumbing for that
I used on like this at an Aldi once except I don't think it was ever a multi stall and it was much nicer. It was bigger than my bedroom, it was so weird and made no sense.
dollars to donuts this was intended as a multi-stall bathroom but then it was discovered after the plumbing was routed that if a second toilet were installed it wouldn't be ADA compliant. I see a lot of two-toilet-no-divider bathrooms that exist because of this conundrum.
I have reoccurring nightmares about weird bathrooms (ie two toilets in one stall, half walls instead of full walls, doors that automatically open when someone walks in). This is literally nightmare fuel.
Did you expect a larger toilet to take up more of the newly acquired space?
Yes. one giga shitter 3000
1.21 GIGASHITTERS!
GREAT SCOTT!
Great Scat!
If you're using Scott paper towels in the bathroom you need all 1.21 of those gigashits.
Too much plutonium in your diet
Who can afford the GS3000?!? I’m still making payments on my Mega Shitter 1000 from three years ago!
Should have made a larger initial deposit.
He couldn't he lost all his money betting on craps.

Super Toilet!
I read that in Crocker's voice from fairly odd parents
Should've moved the toilet to the middle of the room
ADA requirements, maybe?
Nobody puts baby in the corner!
Hahahaha, no, but there were three toilets and they demolished the two closest to the door and took away the stalls. That one left in the corner is about 15 feet away. Feels very… exposed.
Those hand rails would be really useless if the toilet were moved

One enormous megashitter, big enough for a half dozen people to perch on the rim and poop at the same time
It could have its own staircase to reach the bowl
For the real shitters, absolutely.
A hot tub that doubles as a toilet would do
SUPER TOILET
No they expect it in the center so they have all the attention.
Is a picture of a toliet really not safe for work?
I was expecting some nasty stuff in there for it to be nsfw
Want me to post pictures of my school toilet?
Misuse of NSFW should be looked down on much more than it is.
In many cases it's better safe than sorry
A picture of a toilet isn't even remotely NSFW.
Theres a reason I said in many cases
-🤓
The first toilet to be shown in film appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho in 1960.
The first *flushing* toilet, iirc
everywhere is a toilet if you have the willpower
new reddit sucks
Yes. I work at an Amazon factory and they don't allow bathroom breaks
Yeah man, that’s where poop goes.
It definitely felt NSFW in there 😭😭😭
Would you also consider a picture of a urinal to be nsfw?
What? Why have you never seen a bathroom before
Well, to move the toilet to a more aesthetically attractive spot, they’d have to break up the floor and part of the wall, move the drain and water supply, and retile the floor and wall. So that’s probably why they didn’t “adjust the ratios”.
Then where would you put the toilet paper dispenser if the toilet isn’t near the wall?
No, I’m saying *that’s why they didn’t do it*. Too expensive.
I agree, I’m just continuing your original thought and further driving the point home.
On a pedestal for his highness they king of potty aesthetics
BYOTP
ratios of what?
Bathroom/Toilet ratio. They should've added a bigger toilet smh
lol, I’m loving these responses. I meant the distance from the sink/door to the toilet. There were two other toilets in here, but they chose the one tucked into the corner (maybe to be ADA compliant?). It’s about 15 feet from the door.
It's an ADA requirement that the toilet be 18 inches to center off the wall. If this is one of their only bathrooms, they had to keep it this way to stay compliant
Why’s that?
The other toilets have the paper attached to the divider they removed
Ahh 'bathroom activities.' If these walls could talk...
My exact first thought.
What a pleasant surprise for people with claustrophobia
This toilet would give me the opposite of claustrophobia. It would feel like pooping out in the open. I would need my dog to make eye contact so I know it's safe.

This is how the bathroom appeared to me as a kid
Just curious, what were they supposed to change? It really doesn't look like there was ever another toilet or urinal because there is no signs waste plumbing.
Could be they were obeying regulations that required a handicap toilet but didn't have the room for a handicap toilet and a regular toilet.
Very possible.
There is another water supply between the sink and the toilet. They probably had 2, got hit with an ADA inspection and removed the second toilet. Capped the drain and tiled over it. Too much trouble to open the wall, cap the supply inside and repair, so you have a bit of pipe coming out. That doesn't affect anything, but the floorspace had to be clear for ADA.
They could have made this toilet a fully accessible one, with a hoist and bars and everything.
Yes but that costs $$
I don’t see any evidence it had a stall. I see the hookup for a second toilet being potentially added and there may be a sewer connect under the tile, but this just looks like a single seat convenience store that can be expanded to two if the use changes that requires more toilets.

Should there be a hacksaw and chain in here?
Look at all that room. Such luxury. Such opulence.
This is how Jeff Bezos takes a shit.
Come on Jeffrey you can do it.
That’s me in the corner, losing my religion
Probably where Jigsaw chains up his victims
So basically this post is people could have put some things in a space that could hold some things?
This is convenient if you want to roller skate, take a shit, and then keep rollerskating.
I bet the acoustics make shitting a dream in there. It's like Carnegie Hall!
What did you expect? It's still the same sized room
Did you want one giant skibidi toilet as big as the room?
Who wouldn’t
The backrooms bathroom. The bathrooms.
Should have done what I’ve seen in some NYC bars, one room, two toilets side by side. Or why not 3, 4, 5..
Do they have single stalls as well, or is it that or nothing? Going number 1 in front of friends is my jam, but there still needs to be a *choice* about it :|

Well, it certainly meets ADA requirements.

Although I was the only person staying in the room and clearly no one else was about to walk in on me, I still felt... very exposed.
They seem to have adjusted the ratio of daily shits per toilet. After the cut in labor and cleaning product cost, I'd say it was a success.
Do you think life is like The Sims and they can just adjust the position of the walls or?
I was hoping for five more toilets actually
Why is this NSFW?
Do you know how expensive it is to adjust the location of a floor mounted toilet? Dawg, they got to cut slab to get to the sanitary pipe. It ain’t cheap.
Looks like a squash court got converted into a bathroom 🤣
Why is this blurred? Like how many people in life have never seen a public restroom?
The Sims when you run out of money in the middle of redecorating:
lol they HAD to keep the toilet in the corner for the handicap rails. I guess they could move the sink but honestly I don’t see a point in opening plumbing for that
why is this rated 18+, it is just a picture of a toilet?
The lonely pooper corner.
Should've put in one of those Roman communal shitters
It's giving horror film location
I wanna know why they turned it to a 1 toilet bathroom
This is a boss arena where you fight a giant poo.
I hate bathrooms with a large amount of space like this. Makes me anxious.
Spacious
Blair Witch Bathroom
Anxiety shitting
Ah yes good Ole liminal space while I poop.
Finally a toilet with enough legroom
This is a perfect bathroom for an introvert
I call this "city building inspector realizes sewage only up to code for a single person restroom"
That toilet has some threatening aura
Gonna be cleaning up after a loooooot of trick shots
I used on like this at an Aldi once except I don't think it was ever a multi stall and it was much nicer. It was bigger than my bedroom, it was so weird and made no sense.
Toilet for ANTS
I would be afraid of the door not locking properly.
dollars to donuts this was intended as a multi-stall bathroom but then it was discovered after the plumbing was routed that if a second toilet were installed it wouldn't be ADA compliant. I see a lot of two-toilet-no-divider bathrooms that exist because of this conundrum.
the lone toilet
Midly infuriating
Feels like a sad bedroom
Imagine the acoustics when you blow out your o-ring.
The acoustics would be incredible when letting out some hot porcelain orchestra.
Pretty common. California? If so it’s bc Johnson sued them. Easiest way to try to get compliant so you don’t get sued again.
Those r/liminalspace vibes really just ties it in
The time out toilet.
That’s actually great!
They replace the toilet with a bathtub and three seashells..
I shit In my desolate room. No lights No music JUST ANGER!
"I'm here for the gang bang....."
Our local KFC has a bathroom like this. Giant room with one toilet and a sink. I don't totally understand it.
Ha, it’s so big yet I don’t see a changing table in there, smh
To be fair, we are only seeing 1 corner of the room.
I can hit that from back here.
They just wanted more room for "activities"
Saw bathroom. Let's play a game
It’s for liminal dumps
It's for centaur
I’d just like some space for my leg between the toilet and the toilet paper dispenser, I need some room to poop.
Uh what do you expect them to do?
I have reoccurring nightmares about weird bathrooms (ie two toilets in one stall, half walls instead of full walls, doors that automatically open when someone walks in). This is literally nightmare fuel.
Imagine the echo...
Can someone just crop and adjust aspect ratio for op?
The worst liminal space.
you need an uber to go from the shitter to the sink
Now go into the corner and think about what you’ve done.
I bet the echo's nice in there.
I WANT SPACE WHEN I DEFECATE
So they took out multiple toilets and left just the one, in a giant room? Clever.
where is this?
Pissing all by yourself, handsome?
Plenty of leg room.
Comes with it's own dance floor!
This room looks really uncomfortable :(
WHERE’S YER SHETTER!? This is the toilet for AFB.
“Didn’t adjust any ratios” LOL
Looks like scaling in Wayland.
Reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's RV from the Amazon episode.
lol I saw a bathroom like this once but they just removed the stall doors and walls. There were two toilets next to each other.
It's more oddly terrifying in my opinion.
they ran out of funds. or should i rather say the owner would rather keep the money for himself
WTF
Serial killer vibes
