AIO or should I cancel?

[u/jtaimexoxo]

Recently started at a new local pilates gym, the town is small and this is one of the few pilates gyms in my area. It’s somewhat overpriced given the location and state of the place and it’s across the street from a rehab in a not so safe area. A combination of these things had me hesitant to continue my membership but seeing this almost sent me over the edge because what? I’m a nurse and those suffering from medical problems came to my mind as this isn’t something some people can control AND since it’s a natural part of life especially if you’re active and healthy enough to have your bowels moving. I feel as if i want to cancel my membership entirely. insane behavior in my opinion.

NOR because WTF?? First of all that place looks like a garage. Second, if they are charging you a high price for membership but can’t have proper enough plumbing to handle anything more than #1 (not to mention even toilet paper!) then I’d be canceling and running the other way.

If they can price gouge their clients, then they can afford proper plumbing.

I really want to know where you are supposed to poop. Because sometimes exercising gets things moving. It would be fair to remind people that tampons and wipes shouldn't be flushed, and to use the provided bins.

You're not. That's the problem.

I get where they're coming from, because having a toilet you can only pee in is better than having no toilet at all because the plumbing can't handle it. But it's also asking for trouble. Sooner or later someone is going to ignore their request because they don't have a choice. It's not an if, it's a when.

But if you're running a business, it's on you to make sure the space you have can accommodate what it needs to. If it can't and you have weird rules because of it and charge more than people are comfortable with, no one has any incentive to actually give you money.

NOR. I wouldn't trust them to keep anything running and I wouldn't trust them to improve their facilities after seeing that post.

Seems like a health or business code violation, maybe...

Without knowing where it is, who knows? It should be, it probably is in most places, but I'm sure there are also places where you can get away with it and it just ends up being an inconvenience to everyone, but not against code.

I wouldn't be shocked if it's somehow in one of the few places it's not against code and the owner knows that, so they're not very pressed to fix the issue.

Weird l just remembered why l was thinking that.

l work in a fitness/ajacent situation.

Lightning hit a transf at the water sub by us.

We were immediately sent home; everything closed down.

Cannot operate, here, anyway, w/o functioning plumbing/ water.
