Actually, this was quite a smart business move as it got people to browse through the store to get to the bathroom. I'm sure the proprietor sold a few items! Port-a-potties were available for the huge crowds, but who wouldn't want to piddle on a real potty?
* a. a thick, highly seasoned soup or stew, usually made of chicken, small game, or beef, and corn, tomatoes, and onions.
b.a picnic or other gathering at which burgoo is served. (From dictionary.com except I added the word beef since our stew had beef in it!)

Oh, I bet that was a very welcome sign!!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of burgoo before, sounds an interesting festival.
Interesting post lol I to have never heard of Burgoo before. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeletecould be very helpful sometimes :)
ReplyDeleteHoping to turn them in to customers but it might mean quite a bit of extra work keeping it clean and stocked.
ReplyDeleteSmart marketing to invite people in to use the facilities!
ReplyDeleteingenious person to play off a political slogan in relationship to the bathroom...smiles.
ReplyDeletevery gracious. usually you see signs that says bathrooms for customers only.
ReplyDeletebrilliant.... :)
ReplyDeleteVery cunning advertising! Creative!
ReplyDeleteThe opposite approach that most stores have during such an event. Hope it worked out for them!
ReplyDeleteSounds good -- I thought it would have wild game in it somehow. I must have read about that in a novel somewhere and it was made that way.
ReplyDeleteThe sign is funny and, yes, a smart business op. (We've seen signs for grocery stores and cafes in somewhat remote locations advertising 'clean toilets')
Excellent marketing ploy. :))
ReplyDeleteVery clever of the shop owner!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather go to the real potty and buy something after I am so done! LOL!

A very welcome sign indeed.
ReplyDeleteI really like the attitude here. I don't think I'll be visiting Burger King every again since they very quickly disallowed any of the protesters in NYC from using their bathrooms. So I guess McDonalds will be my choice if and when I'm indulging in fast food. BTW - I really HATE port-a-potties.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate signs like this!

It's a sign that makes a person feel welcome in their store.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Who wants to piddle in a kybo???? With your face in the urinal???? I would have bought something from the store just because they were so NICE! :) And I never heard of Burgoo before, but it sounds delish!
ReplyDeletei'd buy a cup of soup to pee in a real bathroom over using a free port-a-pot any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is a one of a kinder. It makes me think of my Buddy running a 1/2 marathon and in the middle of it needing to use the restroom. He just ran into a Hardee’s, used the facilities, and kept on running. Love the sign. genie
ReplyDeletea good strategy!
ReplyDeleteoh there's a Burgoo festival, we have Burgoo restaurants here.:p
