Excited
McPoopy
| |
Ok, so this doesn’t have anything to do with McDonald’s, I just felt like making another post with a “Mc” word in the title.
I saw this image at weirdasianews.com and there was something funny about the juxtaposition of Mr. T on a flowery background on a sign in a Chinese coffeehouse saying “NO POOP!”
The text says:
No Poop!
This is an old building with old plumbing, poop and paper won’t go down! There is a public toilet across the street. If we have to clean up after you there is a 50 RMB charge!
First of all, I’m not a coffee drinker, but I do know that I wouldn’t want to be reminded of poop while standing in line for a latte. I guess Salvador’s Coffee in Kunming is so upset about people pooping and clogging up the plumbing that they had to put this sign up, plus threaten a fine for pooping. I wonder how effective the sign is? How do they know if you’ve pooped or not?
Do they have people standing by on poop patrol doodie duty?
I pity the fool who has that job.
How does this post make you feel?

There are plenty of "no crapping" signs in bathrooms here, particularly in coffee shops. The text varies -- both the Chinese and the English. Cafes catering to the ex-pat scene are fond of using the word "shit" because it is more universally recognized than the alternatives: u00e5u00a4u00a7u00e4u00beu00bf, poo, poop, number 2, etc. However, Mr. T is only at Salvador's Cafe.

Elizabeth, thanks for this tidbit!
Have you been there then? Do other places have signs like this or is this an anomaly?

Ah, yes. This sign is *inside* the bathroom, so it doesn't interfere with the latte ordering experience. :)
