Bee stings or too much botox?  Only your dermatologist can tell for sure.

Holy shit! I knew Todd Overturf when I was a kid. He was more of a spaz than a douche back then. But you knew he had potential.

Quite the coincidence. So, you can vouch for his name actually being "Overturf," as if his father was in the sod industry or something?

Stop pawing at your screen and trying to hit 'Submit,' Dusty. It's already done, but feel free to copy.

For those of you who have never lived in California, there’s a reason why many California stores won’t let the public use store bathrooms.  The state is crawling with homeless and illegals who have all kinds of disgusting diseases that can be spread through fecal contamination.

So, the place serves food but doesn't have facilities for customers? The Bella Terra shopping mall has no public restrooms either?

Have you tried finding the public shitter in a typical CA mall lately?  If the Cho'clit Shoppe wasn't in the food court (and chances are it wasn't), that could have been quite the odyssey...

Reminds me of Jerry Rubin(doucebag)'s Steal this Book

Fail.
Also, I love the irony of you using the term "doucebag" in this particular thread. If only the poor mother had been carrying a "doucebag" the fecal outpouring could have been contained.
And also again - I think shitting on the floor of the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a fantastic idea. There's one here in Vancouver...hmmm...what should I have for dinner....

Not sure I want to spend the day cooking just so I can crap in a chocolate shop.

It sells food, but it's not an eating establishment (at least not any of the ones I've been in or near, which I could count on one hand).  It's not like having a restaurant without a bathroom.

I don't know the specifics of what it was like to be there during this particular issue, but I've been in a similar situation before.  I used to work at a Baskin-Robbins where the only way to get to the tiny bathroom was to walk past the safe, so the owners wouldn't let the customers use it, but we had a ready response, which was to apologize profusely and ask them to head next door to the Chinese restaurant.  Even so, some lady thought it was just such a travesty that we wouldn't let her kid use the bathroom that she took his pants off and ordered him to pee on the floor.

Now I'm not saying this is the same situation, but part of me has to wonder a few things: if her daughter suddenly had this bout of instant diarrhea (the image of her standing there yelling it makes me laugh and wonder if this was a common occurrence), then did it really make a difference?   And exactly how scarred is a five-year-old when they accidentally crap their pants?  Were there no other real eating establishments around?   If it was an outdoor mall, then the official bathroom could have been far away, I suppose.

I guess I'm just not seeing what the big deal is, really.  There was a news story a while back about a person that had a medical condition that kept them from controlling their excretions who was denied use of the bathroom somewhere, and that I think was pretty fucked up, but in the grand scheme of things, a five-year-old accidentally crapping her pants is hardly news.

Ha!  I finally got a reply to my nastygram to RMCF...

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory's Inc.'s Bella Terra Shopping Center in Huntington Beach, CA Bathroom Complaint Response:

The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Store in the Bella Terra shopping center in Huntington Beach, CA is an individually owned and operated franchised store.  The Company has personally called the individual involved in this incident and apologized on behalf of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. In this instance, the actions of one franchised store's employees do not represent the values of the Company or our entire system of franchised stores.

We are a very family friendly company and would never encourage any policy that does not take individual facts and circumstances into account. We encourage all our franchisees to adopt policies that are in accordance with local laws and regulations and that are reasonable and compassionate. However, individual policies of this nature are ultimately adopted by each franchisee.

We truly regret this situation occurred.

OK, so I saw the note about the kid you refused to let use your bathroom. And that this is your CORPORATE POLICY. I am appalled. I will *never* again patronize one of your establishments and I will do all I can to tell everyone I know not to as well, and I'll tell them why. You guys are totally heartless.

Wow, they wrote you back.

Franchise businesses like this usually have a yearly meeting for all their franchisees, some place fun like South Padre Island or Opryland.  I wonder if the Overturfs will be attending this year.

I am going to write back and complain about the form letter. 

It's hot here, and I haven't had a drink yet.  No alcohol in the heat makes Dusty very, very cranky like a mad dog in the noon day sun....

Can anyone here tell us if the chocolate is any good?  I'm very picky about my chocolate.

Then you should be eating a Galaxy bar.

It is the *only* chocolate.  The best stuff on earth... melts like butter in your mouth, and not a hint of grit or burn.  If you haven't tried it, get a nice friend in the UK to send you one - preferably one of their huge bars.  It will last 10 minutes or less.

Of course you realize the guy who wrote that letter is laughing his ass off because their sales haven't been hurt one iota (okay, maybe one), and by this time three months from now nobody will even remember this.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Let's all set our alarm clocks and do this all over again in 3 months... a nice barrage of nastygrams...   Just to wind up the dude again.
