You may not know this, but every woman has a choice when visiting a public restroom: to sit or squat. Many factors go into the decision on whether or not to make bodily contact with the facilities including, but not limited to, overall visual cleanliness of said establishment (both inside and outside the restrooms), air quality, visual cleanliness of patrons encountered while in the establishment, adequate or inadequate supplies of soap, hand towels and toilet paper, along with a myriad of more subtle reasons for the ultimate decision in the stall. I won't pretend to know every reason one might sit versus squat but I do know I can make a small list of well-known establishments in which I would be more likely to choose one over the other. For entertainment only and contingent upon personal inspection of each particular building's facilities in question: Sit | Squat | Target | Wal-Mart | Chevron | Circle K | Baja Fresh | McDonald's | Macy's | Ross | Starbucks | Dunkin' Donuts | Best Buy | Fry's Electronics | Whole Foods | Food City | T.G.I. Friday's | Pizza Hut | |
