  Good thinking on your feet - I would have been so pissed I could not have forced myself to buy something to be able to use the restroom.

  “Good thinking on your feet ... buy something to be able to use the restroom.”
  
  It was either that or drop my load of feces all over the diner’s tacky linoleum floor.
  
  All Beef Pattie would have been upset because she would have to mop it up but the flies would have loved it!

  About 2 years ago I was at a small local Starbucks and the bathroom-door needed a code (I find that annoying AF) - I ask for the code to the bathroom and was told I needed to make a purchase first - I said I was gonna make a purchase but needed to use the restroom first since I was alone and didn't want to have to carry the drink into the bathroom nor leave outside unattended - anyway was not allowed to use the restroom w/o a purchase so I just left and went to another Starbucks 10-minutes away - this Starbucks is not far from my house and none of the other several Starbucks in the vicinity have that key-code crap and it's not as if this particular one was in any worse area - as fate would have it that particular location closed about 18-months later.

  Papi,
  
  You should have just let loose and given them a mighty Crappuccino all over their Starbuck’s floor.

  I can understand they may wanna restrict access so maybe homeless people don't use the bathroom but I still find it annoying and I know that area well and don't recall ever seeing a homeless person - IME Starbucks are not in crappy parts of town

  I agree with the "bathrooms for paying customers only" policy. You are using water when you flush and wash, electricity when you turn on the fan and light, paper towels, plus wear,tear, and cleaning labor afterwards. Keeping out the riff-raff is just an ancillary bonus.

  Good job reverendhornibastard to beat the system.
  
  Before, I liked taking long (3 hour or more) drives and in California there are so many places which have the restroom for customers only policy, so every stop I would order something small and inexpensive to use the restroom.
  
  Out of han it, even places that did not have the policy, I order something small before I use their restroom.

  I recently read of a law (federal? state? municipal?) which specified that if a person had a disability related to their alimentary canal, an establishment could not pull the old “employee only trick. It was written by someone with Crohn’s Disease and had been denied access at a Starbucks. The author said that he had shown the manager his disability card and still been denied. He was an attorney on the way to a deposition, stepped out of Starbucks and shit himself. He sued.

  I have rarely encountered the "restrooms are only for customers" diatribe but when I do I simply tell them I would prefer to wash my hands before ordering my food/drink. It usually works. Of course, I spend most of my time in between urban areas and take full advantage of exposing myself to nature in all my glory.

  I spend most of my time in big city environments. Fast food outlets are everywhere and they’re too busy to keep track of every patron who wants to use the restroom. Since, even at my scruffiest, I don’t look like a homeless person I have only run into this issue when I’m out in the boondocks where I sometimes stand out like a sore thumb.
