Now Network News - Recently, a notice from an Internet cafe deemed as the most powerful one in history has sparked heated discussions among netizens. The poster mentioned that he found at the entrance of an Internet cafe a notice saying "Attention! Those who don't surf the Internet here, please do not use our restroom, or you will be driven out like driving out ××, please respect yourself!"
The online post referred to a "Dingdang Internet Cafe" located in Dijiao Community on Xinhua Road in Hankou, adjacent to Xinrong Light Rail Station and Xinrong Passenger Station. Yesterday, when reporters visited this Internet cafe, they saw this stunning announcement. Moreover, at the door of the Internet cafe's restroom, there was another notice with similar wording, but it used very vulgar language. The boss of the Internet cafe, Ms. Wang, said helplessly, "With so many people squeezing into my place to use the restroom, how can I still do business..."
Some nearby residents introduced that the area has an extremely large flow of people. There used to be a pay-to-use mobile toilet next to the Xinrong Light Rail Station, but it was dismantled more than a year ago. Residents in this area face the embarrassing situation of having no place to go to the bathroom after getting off the train.
Ms. Wang introduced that since the Internet cafe opened, there have been constantly people coming to use the restroom without using the Internet services. Passersby, nearby shopkeepers, and even bank staff all come here. The two restrooms are full from morning to night, with long queues often formed, leaving no place for customers who come to surf the Internet, "Every month, the water bill is four to five hundred yuan."
The only cleaner of the Internet cafe, Ms. Hu, introduced that the external restroom users have greatly increased her workload. She works from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm every day, almost without any breaks, "Some people have poor quality, don't care about hygiene, making cleaning difficult."
Despite this, Xiao Zeng, who surfs the Internet at the cafe, expressed after seeing the notice that the Internet cafe's words were somewhat hurtful. After all, human beings have three urgent needs; if there was another way, they wouldn't come here. Mr. Xu, who lives nearby, said that since there are no hotels nearby, they had no choice but to come to this Internet cafe.
How to solve the embarrassment of going to the bathroom? Should the government consider building a public restroom here? In response to this, the reporter interviewed relevant personnel from the Jiang'an District Urban Management Bureau. They stated that six years ago, they set the construction of public toilets as a work goal, but it is not easy to find a suitable location here, mainly because there is no available space to build a public restroom. He hopes that the planning department can carefully consider the problem of difficulty in finding restrooms in the Dijiao community and solve this issue together well.
