QuikTrip Newnan, GA



QuikTrip Newnan, GA


Gas station bathrooms... Who knows what you'll find beyond it's sketchy doors? I went into a QuikTrip recently in Newnan, Georgia and I am going to tell you what I thought of it.

Odd layout makes it feel cramped.

On the surface it does not look half bad. The strange layout makes it feel a bit more cramped than it actually is, but it did grow on me a bit. It just made it a little bit more difficult to take some pictures.

This time we got some quality literature to read while we urinate.

No pressure! You are covered from nearly all sides!

I will start with the urinals again. They have that typical automatic flush built in but it did not bother me as bad this time. Why? Look at the plastic urinal netting (or screen) in the bottom. This net is nice because it hides everyone's nasty piss colored water with it's bright and happy color. So the automatic flusher did not work? No problem. This net will hide the disgusting discoloration all while having a built in air freshener! Pretty good deal. The screens between the urinals were pretty dope as they were made out of the same tile used on the floor and walls. I like the consistency, and the black tile stripe going all the way around the perimeter of the room even goes over the screens! The last thing I will note is the reading material for me to feast my eyes on while I try to pass my kidney stone. Sure it was a short sentence with 4 words and a URL but I may actually check out their new website now.

Next is the stall. I hate to disappoint everyone but I only had access to the closest stall when I took these pictures. I can imagine the next one over not being to much different. I will let you decide. Anyway here is the picture.

Low seat. I like what I see besides that.

First off the stall door was pretty neat with the nice handle on it. Once I opened it however I was greeted with another low toilet bowel. I guess you could argue that they do this for the kids but I doubt their toilets at home go this low to the ground. The toilet paper dispenser was positioned very well and easily within reach. Even on this short bowel. Not a fan of the dry wall dust coating the back of dispenser though. I try to be generous when it comes to a bathroom being dirty because employees have good days and bad, but this dust looks like it has been there awhile which should not have happened. The seat paper is once again in place above the toilet. Very nice. The missing chunk of floor tile though is a bit on the ugly side. My eyes are just kind of drawn to it.

One more thing about the door. Something was splattered on it, and it had been there a while too. What was it? I do not know and I do not care. It was just gross.

Something was explosive upon exit.

Lastly I will go over the sink and paper towel dispensers. I actually can not complain much about the sink.

Pretty simple setup. Why mess with a good thing?

The sink was very convenient with it's setup. The automatic facet works really well and is not overly sensitive and the soap dispenser was full and had no trouble squirting the coconut smelling germ murderer into my hands. As for the paper towels, they were both very close to the sink though so there was no risk of the floor being wet as long as some dudes do not miss the urinal. One of them did have an issue however.

Poor guy has seen better days.

I tried using this dispenser to the left of the sink first. I pulled down that white knob over and over again to get out my paper towel, and every time I pulled it I just felt and heard rusty metal plates grinding together. The knob even got stuck at the bottom for a second at one point and then sprang back up a couple seconds later. It is time for a new dispenser Quiktrip.

The second one was an automatic dispenser. Not much to say. It worked fine and I like how it was placed right next to the door handle. I will also note that both had a convenient garbage can under them.

The future is now.

In conclusion the restroom looked pretty good at first but soon began to change my mind when I saw that it was not very well kept. Some things needed to be replaced or fixed, while others were long overdue for being cleaned. I try not to be picky about dirt in these reviews but the crap everywhere had been there for awhile. No excuse for that. There are worse lavatories out there. When I find them you guys will be the first to hear about them. Till next time.

6/10
