Want an award for your bathroom?

This is so not-funny, I have to laugh. Garden Centers of America thought that having a clean washroom in a garden center was so important they’re going to have an award for the best one.

Oh my.

The good news is they’ve finally figured out that women make up the bulk of their shoppers and that a clean bathroom is particularly important.

Having had a female partner all of my adult life makes me part of that particular demographic of travelling guy (we get to visit bathrooms all up and down the highway on a regular basis - in fact, we might celebrate if we saw one go by unvisited) We know how important these things are because we get to listen to the comments after every stop.

So congratulations to the industry for finally reading a book that tells them something we’ve known for years.

But to have to put an award out there speaks volumes. And to apply for it speaks even more.

Oh my industry, you’ve come a long way baby - but oh my goodness what a long way you have to go.
