Sainsburys Toilets

I very rarely use public toilets. Don’t think I’ve used a supermarket toilet since I was a teen. Last time I did was at a local coffee shop a few weeks ago and the month before that was a bookshop cafe and pizza express. I find cafes , restaurants etc tend to make more of an effort to keep toilets clean.

Sometimes the toilets in my work are disgusting though! I’m so glad I work from home 95% of the time 🤨

I presume you raised the issue with the store?

I complained at Park Royal Asda toilets. They had no toilet seats in the women’s toilets. No toilet roll. I ended up using the baby change that had a toilet in there

People are disgusting, they should start having cameras outside and people checking them tbh. My supermarket has a sign telling people that it is unfair to mess them up and for the cleaner have to clean Filthy toilets and for people to clean up after themselves! I dread taking my young DC to public toilets

people need better manners

you only have your fellow humans that are responsible

Did you complain to customer services about the toilets ?

I don't know why supermarkets bother having public toilets, they don't need to - unless there is a restaurant too and by that I mean restaurant that is actually serving food during the hours the toilet is open.

Write a complaint letter to the Sainsbury’s branch in question. Moaning about it on MN is a) pointless and b) immature.

FWIW both of our local branches always have perfectly clean and well maintained toilets.

Publicly shaming Asda Bournemouth toilets here (next to the train station). Last time I visited a few months ago I had to hold my breath and do a 'racehorse piss' and legged it out of there. retched multiple times on the way out - some other customers saw me and avoided the toilets...

Worse thing is there is a McDonalds Uber pickup hatch down the same corridor that leads to the toilets....

It's a big thing I miss about Denmark- never once did I encounter grim toilets - and the public ones in the centre had marble walls , walnut doors , heating and a permanent attendant and were absolutely immaculate

Our Tesco was great until they introduced the stupid 'all in one' soap/wash/dry units. Absolutely hate them!

I did DS2s pregnancy test in Liverpool M&S toilets in 2007 - very clean surroundings! Can’t remember why I didn’t wait until I got home though.

No word of a lie, the last Sainsburys toilet I went to, I stood in a human shit that someone had left on the floor. Revolting 🤮

I’m quite nostalgic about a certain set of toilets in a Sainsbury’s near me; it’s where I did a pregnancy test. After well over two years of trying a second child, that’s where I first found out about DC2.

Our local Sainsbury's toilets are disgraceful too. I complained a few months back but nothings changed. The local public toilets are cleaner.

Strangely, I can't recall ever seeing a toilet brush in a supermarket toilet! 🤔
Maybe the stench blurred my vision.

The big Sainsburys a couple of miles from us always have very clean and hygienic looking toilets.

The smaller (still a full size supermarket, not a central, but smaller building) Sainsburys just up the road has unspeakable toilets.

I went in there once a few years back and there was congealed puke down the back. Looked like it had been there a while and the staff looked quite surprised when I mentioned it. Probably knew and nobody wanted to deal with it (and I don't blame them).

They got a bit better for a while but the entire toilet area has been sealed off for months now.

Our sainsburys is fine, our Tesco is immaculate. Did you report it?

The toilets in my local Tesco always look reasonably clean but the stench is horrific! And the House of Fraser toilets always smell of blocked drains and poo. I only use them if wetting myself is the only alternative.

It's the same in our local Sainsbury's. I have to be absolutely desperate to go. Waitrose is immaculate.

It's them automatic hand wash things in Tesco that I hate.

Usually they have no soap in, the water trickles out and the hand dryer is ineffective at actually drying your hands.

No idea why they removed perfectly good sinks and soap dispensers that were easier to wash your hands in, and those super fast dryers that dry your hands in seconds.

Our sainsburys toilets are the same. The lifts are near it and you can get a whiff anytime the doors open or you use the tills at the bottom end of the shop.

I'd rather piss myself then actually go in there and use them so god knows what they actually look like.

Asda is the worst in our area. The stench is horrific. Always filthy. Feel so grim after using them. They are all pretty gross though. I'd say Morrisons is probably the best.

Recently visited a Tesco in another town and only the disabled toilet was available. There was a massive queue, piss all over the floor and the toilet was filthy. I had my toddler with me and desperately tried to make sure she wasn't touching anything while I navigated the puddle on the floor and tried not to puke from the smell. I've never complained about toilets before but I did on that occasion.
