[6 / 1 / ?]
So I was coming home on the train today, and I thought to myself that I really needed to defecate.
Now, if you've ever been to NYC, or really any modern city, you should have seen signs in tons of storefronts that the toilets are only for customers. Which means that each owner was so fed up of people asking to use them without paying that they had to put up a sign. So I was thinking.. is there any city large and busy enough to actually run a literal toilet business? Say, perhaps, smack dab in the middle of Times Square?
Hear me out. No one is going to pay for a toilet like this. But everyone HATES "public" stalls, where there is little to no upkeep and a constant fear of something disgusting happening. So what if it ran on ad revenue? I'm talking wall-to-wall state-of-the-art advertising panels, behind thick, THICK, waterproof, smellproof, glass/plastic. I mean, porn streaming websites make BANK running on ad revenue alone, but they can only attract companies that would sink low enough to advertise to masturbators that aren't really paying attention. But what company, when convinced, could turn down a captive audience in a toilet stall? You could sell literally anything that way. Think of how desperate people are for reading material on the can. Like the demon Belphegor, customers are most willing to think inventively on the toilet.. which means they may think proactively about how a product would be useful to them.
I would hire attentive, 24/7 janitors at the ready to keep the place utterly immaculate day in and day out, and really the only overhead would be water, electricity, rent, and paper.
Thoughts? Hesitations? Early investors? Store titles?
