My son needed to use the restroom shortly after leaving Sunset's Herb and Garden Festival. The closest business to us was the small convenience store. I didn't even notice it was now a liquor store in the middle of rushing in. I was warmly greeted by two female employees but the interaction went south when I asked about the bathroom for my son. There weren't any "No Public Restrooms" signs posted anywhere. I offered to buy something so he could he use the restroom and the employees declined. I then offered cash and that was also declined. The explanation I was given is "the Board of Health prevents them from allowing customers to utilize the restroom." That sounded fishy. It was obvious we weren't in there to urinate but they asked anyway. After explaining he has a condition and they declined, I said forget this. We had to blindly run a block down the road(I was also on the lookout for Port O Potties.) Luckily we were able to utilize The Sunset Rail Stop Flea Market. I contacted the local Board of Health and explained what happened. I was told that a business selling food stuffs (even if it's only drinks) has to provide a clean and working restroom for employees and customers. Of course I understood they could refuse bathroom privileges but the phrasing of their refusal was questionable. I mentioned they may have plumbing issues or that we experienced gender bias. The representative said he would contact Sunset Liquor Store. I asked for a follow up but I haven't received it. This was back in May 2025. It's now February 2026 and thanks to YELP I can see that my assumption was correct about there possibly being a plumbing issue. read more
