Public Restrooms in Private Places



Is it normal to have "public style" restrooms with multiple stalls at places of work? Obviously it's cheaper to have one bathroom with a couple stalls than numerous private single bathrooms. Here's the key difference: in a truly public restaurant bathroom, for example, you're not going to see the people you're doing your business next to ever again. At work? They probably sit in the office next to you, down the hall, etc. I hadn't given it much thought before, but today it suddenly struck me as somewhat awkward--maybe it even ranks up there with the stalls that have wide enough spaces between the door and wall to have a face-to-face conversation with the people by the sinks...
