New Law Opens Biz Toilets To Public

Item: Finding a toilet could get easier in Washington/AP

More Info: The original proposal required retailers without public restrooms to allow people with inflammatory bowel diseases to use employee restrooms, if they had an identification card or a letter from a doctor or nurse. That provision remains in the new law. But it also requires businesses to allow any customer to use an employee restroom if three or more employees are working at the time, and the request doesn’t pose a security risk.

Question: Do you support this law in which retailers are required to allow any customer to use their private restrooms, if more than 3 employees are working?
