Keith, Aaron and I went out for lunch today at the new Seemans around the corner from where we stay. It was an ok lunch... not the greatest or most successful (food- and service-wise) but we enjoyed the time together. It was part of the Oktoberfest (anyone know why it's called that, or what the origins are?), so there was an ompah band playing... lots of fun to watch Aaron "dance" and imitate the tuba player... hehehe.
Okay now that you have the background... here's my gripe. Why is it that more and more often now when these new restaurants open, they don't have toilets????? and you have to use the ones in the centre. At Seemans today they had provided two porta-potties... I ask you!!!! (And funny thing was... Aaron needed to go and he couldn't even REACH to do his widdle... hehehe.. he's not tall enough yet!)
So can someone out there please explain the reasoning behind this new development (or lack thereof!). I realise that certain restuarants do actually have their own loos... part of the decor (like Spur).... but most now don't! All the restaurants at Clearwater Mall DON'T.... including SPUR. There you must use the loos of the mall, which means leaving your table in the restuarant and walking to the middle of the mall and back... not very nice for the people you're with.... and a real bind when you have kids you "need to go"!
Right that's my gripe for now... happier posts to follow.

I agree Jacqui. And often one goes to a restaurant in the evening, when the mall is actually very quite and it can be very unsafe to walk through a quite mall and not to mention being alone in the ladies. Anything to do with plumbing is quite expensive and I think the new restaurant owners are trying to save on this cost.
I suppose it all boils down to cost.
