    Actually Mrs V was once caught short and had to use the Porta Potti. :eek: I implored her to hover and not to sit and break it. :rotfl:

    And for us men, the world is our toilet. :p

    You were not allowed to use the toilet because the staff dont want any random strangers rifling through they're possessions, it is pretty normal not to be allowed to use the toilet in aldi and wnywhere where customer toilets aren't available. its the companys policy.

    Maybe it was a blessing you didn't get to see what goes on in the toilet when wages will be so slow. Be it German Owned and all.

    the actual staff dont clean the toilets they employ a cleaner a few hours a day to come in and clean them, the stores i worked at had very clean toilets but maybe that was because the staff there were clean and didnt make a mess

    i went shopping with my three children yesterday and my 5 yr old was bursting for the toilets.
    So you either leave 2 kids on the shop floor on their own, ask a member of staff to babysit, or have to take all 3 kids in the back. Two of those options are a safety risk, and the other is just ridiculous.

    Can anyone honestly say they have never been caught short and needed the loo unexpectedly? Whatever your view of Aldi, you can't blame a small child for suddenly needing the loo. Every parent has probably been in the same situation as the OP at one time or another.

    whenever ive been caught short ive used a toilet close by, only once i was caught short and the nearest toilet was ex employer and they let me use it although i think maybe they should have signed me in as visitor

    Humanity? Get real!

    Thought and care would be to remind your child before leaving the house that if he needs to go to the toilet, he should go now. If a five year old child is not capable of following such an instruction, the OP should be going to their GP, not shopping.

    Not sure what to make of this comment?????????????????????! I ask my four year old at least 5 times if he needs the loo before we go out and 98% of the time he says no, you cannot physically make a child sit down on a toilet/ or stand and make them have a pee, saying that he's really good about holding it in until we are at facility that can accommodate his needs, But I can assure A lot of thought and care goes into reminding my child to go to the toilet before we go out, because GOD Forbid he should need it 10 MIN LATER!
