Toronto has a lack of public loos that only makes a difference when you're caught out with a need that can't be ignored. Now stores and grocery stores have to allow customers to use the washroom if needed.
Since
1976 a rule has been in effect for stores and supermarkets to have a public washroom but that rule is often ignored. Now the city's Licensing and Standards Committee plans on investigating possible enforcement options against those who refuse a person the use of a loo.
Some stores only allow you into their restroom if you buy something. I have dealt with this one quite a few times. Most of the time I had planned to but I have been caught without much money and in need before. Once I was out and coming down with a stomach bug and ordered to buy a donut or something at a coffee shop in order to make it to the loo in time.
Do you have any urgent loo stories yourself?
