Do not use our restroom!

Do not use our restroom!

The sign on the bathroom of Egghead Bagels in Shanghai, which sits next to the joint business of Sumerian (coffee and bagels) and Dogtown (night time bar). Dogtown and Sumerian have only one bathroom between them, so late-night bargoers often wander through to Egghead for some relief.

Why mention it? One of the funniest scenes I ever saw happened here a few weeks back. A drunken Dogtown patron came into Egghead asking to use the bathroom, and was told it was for customers only. He kept moving towards the bathroom and the Egghead owner physically blocked the bathroom door. As he moved closer and closer, the owner jumped into the bathroom, locked the door, and kept shouting the rules from inside.

Never a dull moment in Shanghai…
