La Madeline

* * * * Doin' the Potty Dance


Another good BS to report!  I have to admit that I hadn't been to La Madeline in years, so when I visited the other day I had no idea what to expect.

The bathrooms were easy to find, at the Kingwood location they were found in the very back.

There was a men's and women's room.  The women's room was spacious and very clean.  There were 2 stalls and one was a large handicapped stall with a cute little changing table.  Of course there were purse hooks.  But the best part was that each stall had walls that went all the way down to the floor, which makes everything a little more private.

I don't know what it is with women and the bathroom, honestly.  Not sure why when one woman in the group has to go then all the rest of the women in the group decide they have to go!  Men don't do that.  I HATE that shit!  L E A V E   M E  A L O N E   B I T C H E S ! ! !  Can't a girl poop in peace?  I mean, I'm always up for some juicy gossip, EXCEPT for when I need to focus on my shit.  So here's where the full walls come in handy, just in case your girlfriends or sisters decide to follow you to the bathroom and want to continue on the conversation.  "What, I can't hear you, what?  These walls are too thick, I can't hear a word you're saying."  Problem solved.  Now back to my shit.

One way to eliminate this scenario is to just not tell anyone you're going to the bathroom, just sneak away from the table, don't give those bitches a chance to join in.   OR, if it's you and a girlfriend meeting for lunch you get up,  LEAVE YOUR PURSE and tell her you'll be right back.  If you leave your purse at the table then she will have no choice but to stay and watch it.  Genius.  Also, NEVER EVER go to the bathroom on your way out of the restaurant.  At that point the other women will just follow you in there even if they don't have to go.

Oh yeah, the last part of the review, the noise.  La Madeline actually has a recording of a woman over the bathroom speaker teaching you words in French.  It's really cute actually and although it's not too loud, it's still some noise that can help cover up those toots and splashes!

Thanks La Madeline

Walmart

* * * * Doin' The Potty Dance


I honestly was not expecting to find such a good BS at Walmart!  I think it really depends on which one you visit so if anyone knows of a * Full on Shitting My Pants Walmart BS, leave me a comment and let us know which Walmart its not safe to GO.

I visited the one in Porter, and there's a Walmart grocery store here in Kingwood I visit often that also has a fantastic BS.

I know Walmart went thru a makeover within the past 10 years and now most new Walmarts have their bathrooms in the front of the store, usually sandwiched between the nail salon and the eye doctor.  Remember when the bathrooms were located all the way in the back of the store close to the layaway counter???  I do.  Well in Porter they're located in the front, very easy to find with large RESTROOM signs you can spot as soon as you walk in.  That's so nice.

The first thing you notice about the women's room when you walk in is all the stainless steel. It's very shi shi ( this can mean classy OR urinate apparently, here it means classy). This BS is very aesthetically pleasing.  The bathroom is also very spacious. When you walk in the sinks are to your left and to your right is the stainless steel changing station and a stainless steel tampon dispenser, guuuuuuurl!

At this location there were 4 stalls, 3 regular size and one EXTRA LARGE handicap stall, all were very clean and pretty spacious, with hooks on the door to hang your purse.  There was a nice constant stream of noise from all the people in and out, flushing, washing their hands, and using those loud hand dryers.

Overall I felt very comfortable with Walmart's BS and maybe the only improvements that would bump it up to a 5 star would be to have walls down to the floor, a few more stalls, and perhaps some ear candy I can poop to, that always makes it more enjoyable!  : )  Perhaps a little Jason Derulo? Or some Nicki (Minaj that is), hell even Kesha would suffice.

Dave and Buster's

* * * * Doin' the Potty Dance!



I love to bowl at Dave and Buster's off of I-10.  It's got those high semi-private booths where all your friends can sit while you bowl.  They've got a bar in the bowling section upstairs and waiters that come to your little semi-private booths, awesome (and by awesome I mean greasy and disgusting in a good way) bar food, and the hottest hits playing in the background as you bowl.  To be honest with you, I don't even bowl, I just love to go to Dave and Buster's because I know I can watch my friends bowl and I can get my draank on, get me some of those vegetarian nachos, and have a dance off in my semi-private booth! Good times, good times.  

The bathrooms are located to the left of the bowling lanes, right past the bar.  There's a separate men's and women's room.  The women's BS has 6 stalls!  6!!!  I love it when that happens.  The BS is very spacious and they have a changing table for all you mommies.  Each stall has a door that goes down to the floor and all the surrounding walls go all the way down to the floor as well!  So far so good!  They've got the music playing in the background and handles on the stalls that tell you if it's occupied or vacant.  Wow, they've really done so many things right with this BS!  For me the MOST IMPORTANT criteria of a good BS is the ratio of potties to people, the noise level, and privacy.  Dave and Buster's does a great job with all three of those, however, I can not give it 5 stars because it was a little naaasty.  It just wasn't well maintained.  You know what I say, YOU GOTTA STAY ON THAT SHIT!  The paper towels weren't stocked and the trash was overflowing.  Oh, and no purse hooks!

Overall I really enjoyed Dave and Buster's BS and I feel like it's a very good place to GO!
