- DrPh0bius, on 06/23/2008, -52/+221Yeah, come on... it is completely an insurance issue. People will sue for ANYTHING these days, and if the girl slipped or anything, mommy sues and the insurance company tells RMCF "Sorry, we arent paying this multimillion dollar lawsuit. You arent covered for customers in the back room." Not to mention that if they let a non employee use the restroom and the person DOES NOT get hurt, they can be still be sued by that person for hot having an ADA compliant restroom, the person is entering a food preperation area and isnt wearing whatever protective clothing (hairnets, etc) required, and they are liable to the health inspectors. They did what they had too to survive in a lawsuit happy society.
Welcome to the litigious country we have created. - whiteknives, on 06/23/2008, -9/+173Man, *whew*
Chocolate milk was NOT the first thing I thought of when I saw that thumbnail. - sparsely, on 06/23/2008, -2/+161POOP FREEZE TO THE RESCUE
- inactive, on 06/23/2008, -8/+133I would've taken a dump in their production fudge batch.
- chooter, on 06/23/2008, -23/+135That is so cruel... DIGG! so that they won't do that to anyone else.
- EASwanson, on 06/23/2008, -6/+103My parents company basically refuses to allow outside people to use the restroom due to the lawyers in California. In California we have been sued by a handicap person because he requested to use the bathroom and being nice we said yes of course. We got sued because the mirror in the bathroom was 6 inches too high which was somehow detrimental to his health. If this was a chain that didn't sell food I'd say they have the right to refuse but if you sell food or drink you have to allow use of your bathroom.
Plus when the mom mentioned her 5 year old was about to go nuts on their toilet I'm pretty sure their chances of being able to use it went from like 20% to 0% - ghettoshark, on 06/23/2008, -8/+95She should of just let her kid take the dump in front of all their employees and customers. What a dick move by the RMCF.
- scubachef11, on 06/23/2008, -2/+87This leaves a stain on their record.
- VgRasta, on 06/23/2008, -2/+83They sure are doing a crap job.
- centran, on 06/23/2008, -3/+81I hate to say but you are right... BUT according to the update they are supposed to by law have public restrooms. It is a California code. So now that buisness is really screwed because california laws are crazy and they take it very serious.
- mattes5, on 06/23/2008, -7/+82Around the corner is where lemonade is made
- nicksource, on 06/23/2008, -6/+81The title and thumbnail gave me 2girls1cup flashbacks... and my last psychiatrist session is on Wednesday too. Dammit.
- borninda818, on 06/23/2008, -1/+72"Let's wipe that laugh"
I chuckled - unclecaveman, on 06/23/2008, -3/+73Hey Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, guess what? You just lost my business for life. I am a 22 year old fat guy who loves chocolate, so you can only imagine the amount of money I would've spent on delicious fudge throughout my lifetime.
Unfortunately, as I'm sure you're by now aware, at a store of yours in Huntington Beach your employees acted in a manner beyond comprehension by not allowing a child to use your restroom in an emergency, resulting in the child ***** on herself. Way to go.
If that is how your company treats customers, I think I'll go spend my fudgemoney at your competitor.
Please issue a public apology and give this girl free fudge for life. That is the ONLY way I will ever eat your fudge again.
Sincerely,
Fat fudge-loving guy - glasnostic, on 06/23/2008, -3/+73just wait till the ***** its the fan
- devinmurphy, on 06/23/2008, -0/+68Chocolate Rainnnnnnnn
- Ramble, on 06/23/2008, -2/+70I'm sure dumping this company right away.
- grantmoore3d, on 06/23/2008, -4/+70Dugg for the picture of chocolate milk... hahahaha
- Gonz037, on 06/23/2008, -3/+68A legal team will wipe the floor with them
- leftfield, on 06/23/2008, -2/+67Yea they stirred up a real ***** here
- Memnochxx, on 06/23/2008, -14/+78I'm sure the child is very pleased that her mother is telling the world her daughter crapped all over herself. Thanks mom!
- pintomp3, on 06/23/2008, -0/+60this is quite a streak of puns
- itspuddingtime, on 06/23/2008, -1/+61the *****, as it is widely known.
- SteeleJK, on 06/23/2008, -4/+63Dugg for "gargantuan".
- Kenzan, on 06/23/2008, -6/+61***** IT! WE'LL POOP IT LIVE!!!
- insurgente, on 06/23/2008, -8/+63I bet they tried to sell that diarrhea for profit.
- lunachique, on 06/23/2008, -0/+55I used to work at place that didn't have a public restroom. Management learned very quickly that you can't have a business directly across the street from an old folks home without one. Not exactly one of the highlights of my youth having to be in that situation *shudder*
- dafragsta, on 06/23/2008, -1/+53I feel bad for the little girl, but in a way, I'm kinda glad this happened. I love it when foolish cold-hearted bureaucracy falls on it's face into a steaming puddle of fecal sauce.

http://rmcf5.com/contact/feedback/feedback.lasso?% ... - LavaWarrior, on 06/23/2008, -2/+50Yup, definitely added to my boycott list, and I'm going to tell all my friends/relatives to boycott it too.
No one deserves to be treated like that, especially a 5 year old girl. - matzy1, on 06/23/2008, -8/+54hope everyone of those people who refused access to their bathroom find themselves in a similar situation. Insurance issue my ass.
- 42Vindictive, on 06/23/2008, -3/+46I work at a Safeway Gas Bar and we don't allow anyone to use our bathroom for that reason as well. We used to, but someone tried to sue us because we wouldn't let a bum he would sit outside use it every ten minutes. So we created a no-one at anytime policy (except for employees obviously). I empathize with the girl, really, but rotten apples ruin it for the whole bunch.
- AlgnPelotudo, on 06/23/2008, -3/+45this will be submitted with a headline like 'this is why i love digg!!'
- glasnostic, on 06/23/2008, -3/+45CA.HuntingtonBeach50710@rmcf.com
tell the bitch who laughed over the phone how you feel.
her name is Bonnie Overturf
at least i think thats her name. - bbqsalad, on 06/23/2008, -5/+46Not sure why you're being dugg down you're spot on.
- joeanon, on 06/23/2008, -9/+50No, he isn't right. The hypersensitive lawsuit isn't valid.
Running a business is a risk, people can slip anywhere in your businesses, the bathroom doesn't host a significantly higher risk to warrant special precautions.
Just ask yourself. Have you personally ever denied someone to use your bathroom out of fear of being sued?
Of course not, it's ridiculous for one, and secondly they are ALREADY in your house. If conspiring to sue you is their goal, they certainly don't need a bathroom as an excuse.
If anything they will want to trip and fall someplace public where many people can see them.
McDonalds didn't stop selling coffee because of lawsuts, they didn't stop cleaning floors. These are all the risks of doing businesses someone can slip and fall on the stairs, get food poisoning, start a fire, stub their toe. Bathroom use has nothing to do with it.
Plus, the going motif is that if you sell food you need bathroom AND beyond that the 10 to 1 rule, which states that for every one person you piss off running your businesses they go and complain to 10 others. Unfortunately only negative gossip travels that efficiently or we could all stop paying advertising costs also.
Folks... if ***** places like Burger King has a bathroom, you're not going to get away denying a 5 year old girl the bathroom in your chocolate store.
The smell and visual sight of her pooping herself in front of customers surely lost them more money than the theoretical lawsuit has. Each one of those customers has gone and told the story of the little girl defecating to 10 others and now they are moving up the digg ranks.
Doing business is risky, most store managers are just idiots who have no real clue how to run anything and that's why their profession is running a store. It's not an mba level management task or anything.
Many times the owner/manger thinks that because they've managed to open a store and attract a handful of customers they are somehow businesses geniuses. When in reality the measure is through long term success. Here we have a lot of these small stores that don't actually make money but the rich people behind them need something for the wives to do.
You get a lot of these stuck up idiots who don't know the first thing about keeping customers or the basic laws in the area that pertain to them.
Just as many people running convenience stores don't realize that they cannot refuse 100 dollar bills no matter how many signs they post saying it's store policy.
Certainly, the woman embarrassed by the store has a great angel for a lawsuit considering the mental trauma she and her daughter went through when publicly humiliated by this store
If I was 5, I'd remember that the rest of my life. *****... I remember the time we were short change for a Slurpeee and I cried my face off so the 7 11 employee gave us a discounted one.
That's how to run a business. - dugon666, on 06/23/2008, -2/+43we should all organize the nations first *****-in...it's sort of like a sit-in, but more like a squat-in.......poop.
- plecostomus, on 06/23/2008, -8/+48Not to be a devil's advocate but most of the stores I've worked at have bathrooms that are employees only.
Customers are messy and dirty, especially little kids. They are also prone to accidents. One video store I worked at used to let the customers use the bathroom for emergencies, but the following things led management to restrict access:
1) Customers crapping EVERYWHERE in the bathroom, aka lack of aiming ability...with their butts.
2) Guys jacking off in the bathroom...no, there was no pornographic material there.
3) A woman brought in her screaming brat claiming diarrhea (sound familiar?), and on the way out instead of thanking us she yelled at us for a non-pornographic poster of a woman in a bathing suit-- it was a regular movie poster --that was on one of the side walls outside the bathroom.
Sorry brats&parents, your predecessors blew it for you. - plarp, on 06/23/2008, -7/+47they should have just told her she's just ***** outta luck
- mikem94590, on 06/23/2008, -15/+53They're full of ***** (pun intended). Insurance reasons? If there are that big of "insurance" concerns, why does just about every gas station, resturant, or business have a public bathroom?
- MonumentMan, on 06/23/2008, -9/+47what a bunch of *****!
