I hadn't used the bathroom at the Giant grocery store on Park Road before, but I discovered tonight that it's a very nice, clean facility. On the way home from work I stopped by to get a salad and a few other items, and I needed to wash my hands because I touched the pole on the Metro that a coughing woman was using, and I didn't want to contaminate the salad bar.

The bathrooms are just inside the main entrance, all the way to the left down a short hallway. I was expecting a barely servicable men's room, but it was actually clean and comfortable. The  walls were covered in Southwest-looking terra cotta tiles, with actual decorative borders and designs. There was both an air dryer AND paper towels. The mirror wasn't shattered or covered with graffiti. Everything worked, and I knew the minute I walked in I wanted to mention it here (but let's keep it clean now that the secret is out!).

In contrast, the worst grocery store bathroom I've ever used was the one in the SW Waterfront Safeway. It closely resembled the dank hellhole where much of the horror film Saw took place. Well, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, but I sure didn't leave that one feeling clean and refreshed. Then again, I had no choice, I was in Southwest, the quadrant of no public bathrooms, or retail at all for that matter.
