Shopdumping
I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to shopdumping, an act which may be criminal which is approximately the opposite of shoplifting.

I suffer from an unnamed bowel syndrome, which sometimes results in a colon full of bloody diarrhoea (real blood, no profanity intended) with mere seconds to find a toilet bowl. As a result, I've become quite skilled at finding public toilets to use.

Shopdumping (v): the act of going into a restaurant, store, or other business with no intention of purchasing anything, just using the toilet and leaving quickly.

rather than the local council waste tax money on public toilets
they should tell people to do as i do, when caught short in public: go for a Mac Shit

At least you actually find and use a toilet!
I visit another messageboard for customer service employees to rant about the crappy customers they've had. I used to post there when I worked in a charity shop; now I just lurk.
I remember one thread in which a customer had crapped in a changing room cubicle in a clothes shop, and left behind a note apologising and explaining that she had IBS. And that makes it all okay then, does it?

Shopdumping is a hobby of mine
For the same reason I can't go anywhere unless I know where the nearest toilet is and know that I can get to it immediately. I pass an Aldi halfway thru my (10min) drive home and I have to stop there on a regular basis to Shopdump. The toilet is right at the front of the shop so you don't even have to pretend to be buying anything. B&Q's toilet is quite handy too.
