I need some help to one up an insufferable know it all

Hey everyone

I need to know if any Tarjay stores in Australia have public toilets?  I have never been in a Tarjay that had thier own public toilets, yet an insufferable know it all co-worker says that most stores do.

By law any stand alone store has to have public accessible toilets. And even if they are in a complex, some would have to have them depending on the size of the store and the proximity to the nearest public ones.

On saying that I have never been into a Target that had a 'Toilet this way' sign anywhere. But I have been to my local when my daughter had to go, and they didn't have a problem taking me to one that was locked but not sign posted.

The law varies state to state and depending on store size though, doesn't it?

A couple of stand alone Target stores I know of only have staff toilets and the size of the store was the determining factor (in not having to provide public toilets).  The huge newish one at Belconnen has toilets nearby but not in store.

When you think about it, it would make sense for the BIG 4 to have toilets in the stores, I can't see how it would cost much more to accomodate this, and like I said about Bunnings, it keeps you in the store.

Scenario, shopping in KMart - kid needs the loo, mum has to leave the store, and how many times does mum think, Oh Stuff it, I will come back another day without the kid's?

Money lost - for what ? the sake of a cleaner and a few toilet rolls.

Thanks everyone, its as I thought.

I was getting fed up with people coming into the store to ask if we had toilets or ask where they were.  I stupidly muttered to this co-worker "WTH is it with people asking where our loo's are? Target never has public toilets", I was then subjected to a lecture about how 'most' Target stores have them.  I wanted to tell him to ~insert rude words~.

Nowdays the only stores that have their own public toilets that I know of are Bunnings, Myer in Melbourne CBD, and a Spotlight in Bayswater.  The Target I work at is a country Target which is in the main street of town about 500 metres up/down from a very well signposted  convenience stop.

never heard of that law martini.

The only toilets we have in the store are the staff ones and I for one would not be happy if the public had access to them.

There are 4 Target stores in shopping centres that I go to, none have in store toilets.

Why does it matter what she thinks and why would proving her wrong on such a minor issue, be satisfactorily thumbing it at her?

Because I am sick of his attitude, and the way he talks to me.  He is a Duty Manager so technically my boss.

Haven't you wanted to prove an annoying know it all wrong once?

Ay, it's because he's a man...

I can't recally ever being in a Target store that had public toilets. As others have said - they are nearly all in shopping centres which have them.
