| - It's ridiculous how many Subway franchises exist in Downtown Pittsburgh. Even more ridiculous is that there are two on Penn Avenue, blocks from each other!
We know their food is passable at best, I myself having been burned out on their sandwiches long ago. However, as I've stated recently about area Subways, particularly those in the city proper, they at the very least provide a clean restroom when you most need it.
After meeting Kay for lunch at her employer's cafeteria, I headed to the T station (how ironic?), and well, nature called.
So I walked into this Subway location and asked if I could buy a cookie. When I told them that I just needed to use the facilities, the "artist" waved her hand, told me it was unlocked, and let me use it.
I bought a cookie anyway since they aren't terribler and because I want to keep these places friendly for this sort of thing. After all, you're using their water, soap, and hand-dryer.
I know it seems odd to review Subways for this reason, but...1) the bathroom was spotless. 2)I remember when Subways insisted that someone purchase something (and many still do) before they'd provide a bathroom key due the homeless and drug-addled abusing this privilege. 3) The lack of public restrooms in urban hubs is a little-discussed problem...

Hell, I don't usually mind shelling out 65 cents to use the restroom, but its nice to know that I don't always need to, and I will keep buying those cookies so that those who can't buy them always have a safe, clean place to relieve their bladders and bowels.
P.S. This Subway shares a street address with...Seviche? That's gotta be a mistake. I know it's next door.
