A friend had a shoe store downtown and one of the most unpleasants things about it was that every night someone would piss in the front gate/door. How do you deter that?
He closed the business (not only for that reason, of course) and has a store in the mall now.
- reitanqild 10y agoInstall a camera if allowed. If the mere threat of being caught on film was not enough then find out when this would typically happen in the night and hire a couple of security guards for a night or two. Not sure if it would work but not impossible.
- jessaustin 10y agoMaybe first one could install a bright light, controlled by a motion detector? There are lots of nooks in a city that can be pissed upon in the relative privacy of darkness. If that doesn't do the trick, then a camera could be used, if a sign were posted notifying the public of that use.

- viraptor 10y agoThis is what the city can do. What can you do as a shop owner?
- swah 10y agoElectrifying the metal doors comes to mind, but its illegal, evil, and probably disproportionate to the damage done by the drunkard.
- hnal943 10y agoWhy should we accommodate public urination? Just because someone does something, does it automatically mean it's dehumanizing to deter it?
