I truly hope that if the manager of this store ever finds herself in a situation where she can avoid some unnecessary embarrassment by simply being able to access a restroom that someone will make an exception for her unlike she did for my young daughter today. It's a restroom and she is a small child that, yes, in the midst of being excited about a pair of new shoes waited a bit too long to say she needed a restroom but seriously, it's a public store you could have taken the opportunity to be helpful and do the right thing. Your logic that she couldn't use it cause then you would have to allow everyone else to use it as well was absurd .. the store was empty! Plus, in the time you took to explain the ridiculous reason she couldn't use it to me she could have been done and out of your hair and you might have felt good for helping a child who needed it.
