Goodwill Bathroom Drama

Today I was at Goodwill with Hayden. I was looking for books to Bookcross and/or list on paperbackswap.com. Anyway...while we were there, a couple of people announced to the whole world that they needed to go to the bathroom. Apparently there's a special procedure involved in using it at Goodwill. First you have to ask the cashier for permission to potty, then she has to announce "code 1" over the intercom, then someone comes and unlocks a padlock to let you in. The first time it happened, it was no big deal, really.

The second time it happened, a lady (who was actually really well groomed for a Goodwill sort)stood at the bathroom door and yelled, "THE BATHROOM DOOR ISN'T UNLOCKED!" Well, apparently the staff was not moving fast enough to suit her because she yelled it out a couple more times before the person on padlock duty could get back there. Then she announced (in a very loud voice) that she didn't like the new policy about locking the bathroom door and that they were going to be sorry the first time someone messed up their pants waiting for them.

Maybe she has irritable bowel syndrome. Who am I to judge.

I just thought it was funny that she announced to the whole store that she was about to mess her pants.

EDIT:

(sorry for that case of premature publishing)

I forgot some stuff.

I bought a bunch of books while I was at Goodwill. Several are Children's Books, but some aren't. Goodwill has some kind of wacky pricing schedule for books. This is to their detriment because (it being Goodwill and all) they aren't able to hire people who can distinguish between the different types of books to determine how to price them.

Here are some tips for the confused cashier at Goodwill. You have my permission to print this out and take it with you if you're planning a trip.

1. If a book has a Newberry award medal on the front of it, there's a 100% chance it's a children's book.

2. If the title of the book is Second-Grade Pig Pals or Dolphin Adventure or Baby Sitter's Club blah blah blah, it's probably a children's book.
