does a retail store have to have a public restroom
Report Abuse. Retail stores do not have to have public restrooms. I guess the people are upset because they are spending money in your store whereas, they might not want to spend money in the restaurant next door which they have to do in order to use the restrooms.hey have to clean it and stock it with soap and TP. I think it's a much appreciated courtesy when a retail store provides a public restroom. Since you can't do that, your manager might chat with the restaurant owner about chipping in for cleaning/supplies. Arggg Â· 5 years ago.
