Squatty Potty

I've been to a few clubs here in Shanghai since I got here and when I
was here for a brief time last November. Normally, I only like
clubbing if I'm in Vegas. (I haven't been to Vegas in 3 years, b/c I
don't gamble, so basically I really don't go clubbing all that much.)
Anywhere else, it's just not worth the money or the effort. But every
once in awhile, you get sucked in when your friends say that there's
some open bar dealio for just 50 rmb (approx $7+) and then you find
yourself at some terrible club with terrible music and terrible people
dressed terribly. So like I said, I've been to a few clubs in Shanghai.

If I'm not too intoxicated, I'll notice the decor around me. Some
clubs are designed with an air of luxury and sophistication in mind.
Glass chandeliers, marble floors and countertops, metal stools with
puffy seats, crystal mirrors, velvet couches, impeccably dressed
employees, etc. Then you go to the restroom and all the nice stuff
ends. Unisex restrooms that smell like a combination of fresh poo,
stale piss, and chinese incense. Add insult to injury, the toliets
are squatty potty style.

So my question or rather rhetorical question is "WHY?" Why go to that
much trouble loading up your club with all that nice stuff just to
ruin it with such poor quality restrooms? Would it honestly have cost
that much more to install a few urinals and sit-down toliets rather
than the squatty potties? I just don't understand sometimes. Mark my
words, if I ever open up a bar or restaurant in Shanghai, there will
never be a squatty potty in my establishment.
