I love the Fred Meyer store in Issaquah, WA. It is brightly lit and well stocked. The staff are friendly and helpful. The store was recently to make it even better than before. It even has that "new store" smell. The ladies room went through a remodel as well. So why would I be complaining? Because they must have hired a bunch of morons to do the ladies room.
I'm not sure how they went about planning the ladies room renovation. The toilet hasn't been installed in the center of the stall, but to the left. That doesn't sound like much of a problem, does it? It wouldn't be, except that the large dual-roll tissue dispenser and the toilet seat cover holder are also on the left! There is all this unused space to the right in every stall! How does this even make sense? Obviously someone didn't think this through, and it was most likely a man. I say this because most of the time, a man doesn't have to sit down to go to the bathroom. If he did, he would know how ridiculous it would be to put everything on one side of the stall.
There is barely enough space to do everything that one needs to do when in the bathroom. It's not too bad to pull out a seat cover and put it on the toilet. But good luck making sure it stays there while you maneuver yourself past the dispensers and onto the toilet. You have barely enough space to unbutton your pants and pull them down. Then when you're done with your business, you have to somehow manage to grab and tear some toilet paper and use it without hurting your elbow. Then you have to stand up in this cramped space, button up and flush. What an ordeal just to go to the bathroom.
Issaquah Fred Meyer, can you please, please, please fix this? All you need is a screwdriver and someone with half a brain.
