Many people already know how Starbucks tastes. You either love it and spend loads of money on its overpriced drinks or you loathe it and say it is crap. Well this review has nothing to do with their drinks. However there chocolate chip cookies were delicious.
The review is about their bathroom.
On a cold Easter Sunday in the late afternoon, my brother and I had just finished partaking in a few cold adult beverages at a nearby bar. Drinking yourself silly on Easter is what former practicing Catholics do on this day. Anyway, we wind up leaving and head back out into the windy and brisk Toronto air.
Five minutes into walking we both need to desperately pee. Yes drinking excessive amounts of alcohol will lead to excessive amounts of urine children. So we do the painful pee waddle looking for a bathroom, as our hotel is a pretty far walk from where we currently are located.
A few restaurants would not allow us the bathroom since we were not customers. So we walked into the massive Eaton Centre hoping to wizz in their lavatories. Unfortunately it was late Sunday and a holiday, so the mall was 20% open for business and all bathrooms were locked.
I had never been so worried in my life. Was I going to piss my pants in Toronto? Would the Canadians laugh at me with their silly accents? Why did I down that extra pint of chocolate stout on the way out of the last bar? Why am I asking so many questions?
Finally we decide that it is either let it flow on the streets of TO or get to our hotel asap. Along the way like a beacon of hope with a toilet, there was Starbucks. As we walk by, there it is...glowing...shining...simply amazing...a bathroom door! I sneak in and try to use the room without buying something, but to no avail. It was locked! So we each buy a cookie for $1.50 CAD, which I believe is -6 cents American and were granted access to the bathroom
15 minutes later my bladder is finally emptied and there is a line outside to use it as well. Must be a pretty popular bathroom locale when the entire city shuts there john's doors. So yes you can come here, get a frappa-crappa bs drink or a cookie...but I highly recommend this 10x20 sanctuary of shitters when you need to go.
