I was canvassing in the area for a nonprofit and stopped in to use the bathroom and buy a drink. The man working the counter assumed I was homeless (I was just sweaty because it was 90 degrees outside?) and was immediately standoffish. I asked if there was a restroom and he said “yes” then just stared at me. When I asked where it was located he asked me where I lived, as if I was doing something wrong. I was obviously confused and when he finally unlocked the bathroom for me it was nasty and there was no toilet paper. I took my patronage elsewhere. Shopkeeper should consider if homeless people can’t use the bathroom or have a brief respite from extreme heat how are they to survive? I live a privileged life and would have gladly spent my hard earned money; he should consider that his judgmental mindset and anti-homeless sentiment is scaring off paying customers.
