Photo snapped circa 2 a.m. in a Rutter’s convenience store restroom.
Sometimes, my co-workers suggest I should be the bathroom beat reporter.
Honestly, I can’t help the scatological nature of the things I notice.
First, there was this story, earlier this year.
And, of course, my ever-present fascination with people’s disgusting work habits.
But I hit the mother load recently following a late night jaunt (and I mean really late) through a Rutter’s convenience store.
I noticed something peculiar hanging on the bathroom wall. I had seen something similar once before at Walmart.
Ergo, this intrepid reporter found herself in the midst of a TREND STORY.
For you non-journalism types, a trend story is a type of journalism based on the idea that if something has happened more than once, it’s OBVIOUSLY a craze that’s sweeping the nation.
This is something. lol I have not seen any of those down here in Texas yet. Have you seen only this one?
I’ve seen it at Walmarts all over and our local Pa. gas station chain, Rutter’s. That’s about it. But I understand it’s a new “thing” that retailers are contemplating to make reporting bathroom incidents more anonymous.
“…mother load…” Quite clever, that.
