Can you imagine if Walmart banned classes of visitors who were unlikely to purchase things even though they use the toilets?

- seretogis 9y agoIt's not unusual to see stores which have signs on their washrooms stating that they are "for customer use only".
- IanCal 9y agoIf they banned people who walked in proclaiming that they had no money and no intent to buy anything - sure. Doesn't seem that strange for a shop.
- Splines 9y agoStores do this already. Signs which read "Restrooms for customers only" are not uncommon.
- ballenf 9y agoThat's not a "class" of customer, that's a status of being/not being a customer. Class of customer, in the sense of the question, is a visual attribute of a customer making them unwelcome due the low probability of them being profitable for the store.
- dragonwriter 9y agoI can imagine businesses simply prohibiting the use of the toilets to people who don't buy things (“restrooms for customer use only”), which is a closer analogy: it's not about a retail store where you are browsing and may or may not buy, it's a place where you “buy” or not (by accepting ads) when you enter, and your access to other facilities is conditioned on that decision.
