The standard of cleanliness of coffee shop toilets has not been taken seriously by operators and users, leading to the “persistent problem” of bad toilet hygiene in Singapore ( Unfinished business: Toilets at hawker centres, coffee shops still too dirty,
I often meet my friends for meals at coffee shops in different areas. Most of these places have one thing in common – the men’s toilets are cramped and dirty, especially the toilet bowls.
My friends say they are used to this and have no expectations that it will change.
On a recent trip to Malaysia, I found that the public toilets at highway rest stops are much cleaner than the toilets in coffee shops and hawker centres in Singapore.
Coffee shop operators have a responsibility to keep toilets clean, but users must also do their part to maintain cleanliness.
