This gets rougher if you are a minority or in a bad neighborhood. Still reasonable advice.

Sad but super true. I do this all the time. One time when I was younger my friends and I were hungover after an all nighter I just pulled into a holiday inn and went in and started eating the breakfast they put out. The staff didn’t say anything because I was white and dressed appropriately to be there.

They wouldn't say anything if you werent...holiday inns have like 100 guests a day, the breakfast workers rarely work the front desk, and they dgaf as long as you arent being disruptive

It's difficult yo find a restroom in a bad neighborhood regardless of race.

I work in a restaurant. This is accurate.

As a former Letter Carrier the worst bathrooms by far are small/medium-sized supermarkets. Not only are they located in the bowels of the Earth, but they may not have toilet tissue, despite selling it.

I find that if its a dive bar you can just go in and out without issue.

I'm just reminded how many times I've gone into Union Pool solely for the restroom, especially since the urinals have a separate weight wait to stalls.

I usually ended up getting a taco after the fact anyway so it's not like I wasn't giving them my patronage

If it's a larger, busy bar it's pretty easy to just walk right in and use the bathroom (if you're old enough to get in at least).
