quicko: well, i guess i just won't duck out then

Okay, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure it's the law in America that wherever you serve food or beverages, you've got to provide the public with a restroom.

It's not the law in Australia, and you can quote me on that.

Either that or many establishments are breaking the law and no one but disgruntled, dancing Americans cares.

For example, the other day I met a friend at Gloria Jeans.  We sat and talked and drank our drinks.  When we went to leave, we discovered there were no facilities available.  Nor were there any at a nearby KFC we ducked into.  Eventually we pressed on the QVB, which thankfully has, as you may recall, some of the better bathrooms in Sydney.

But still.  It's just plain wrong.  Period.
