Day One
Bathroom visit number 17, paying a local Starbucks to use their restroom, jumping in San Francisco gridlock traffic to bang on doors to use the restroom.
Yes that all happened on Day One of this cleanse.
Yes.
I found myself in this situation often throughout the day. I needed to pee!
And I needed to do it OFTEN.
I found myself stuck in traffic while my producer was driving and needing to despratley find a restoom. I jumped out of the car and went to Noah’s Bagels, Peets Coffee, Donut shop and NOW RESTRROM.
Lesson learned- DO NOT have to use the bathroom in the Financial District in San Francisco.
It became so overwhelming that I was going to jump out on the side of the street and pee in a bush!
My friend suggested Starbucks near the Twitter building and just my luck 3 tour buses of foreigners were unloading. I was not hopeful.
So I make my way into Starbucks and was given a list of ridiculous rules and regulations to use the bathroom. As much money as I have people spend in there! ugh!
So you have to wait in line at Starbucks, buy something, get a receipt, locate a hotel employee,take the receipt to an employee of the hotel, get them to use their key to unlock the bathroom. wow!
With a room full of 200 tourist I wasn’t hopeful.
I threw the man a $1 and said I don’t want anything but a receipt before I have to pee on your floor! He gave me a treat or and handed me a receipt. I am unsure what it was. I ran out to the hotel area and thank God a bell hop person was unlocking the door for gentleman and I quickly grabbed him and said please open the ladies. I explained the Starbucks situation he shock his head and said are you kidding me I said nope I had to go through a lot!
He said next time just come straight to here,that’s crazy. For that Ill leave the door open in case you need it again. So yes I handed him the treat and receipt . He earned it
Day one had me in the street, running through traffic, almost in tears, but I did it!
I made it to SF New Tech
WELCOME
Lets see what Day two does!
