Stinky Toilets
I'm not using 'stinky' in the literal sense here but rather metaphorically. Chinatown Point's toilets stink. Really.

None of the shops have toilets in them. I'm not just referring to those pithy little stores hawking wares. I'm also referring to restaurants and eating places, which obviously should have toilets in them for their patrons to use. No, instead they force you to get of that nice abode and head to some desolate corner of the mall to answer the call of nature.

And the best part is that they charge you for using the toilet. That's not the best part yet. They actually charge you 20 cents, not 10, which is the standard amount! Before you gasp in shock and horror, let me tell you proudly that I refused to conform to the rules and promptly went off to find another toilet. There was nobody collecting money at this toilet so I gratefully went in.

Haha. Just goes to show that you can beat the system, for there's no way that all 8 or 10 toilets in the mall will have attendants there. Anyway, there isn't a rationale for having attendants collect money from patrons for using the toilet. Firstly, the management will have to employ people to collect money. This means that they'll have to pay them. That's not all, you must also remember that the total revenue collected is less than the variable costs (wages of the attendants) so basically the management is making a loss. Secondly, by ensuring that patrons pay a token fee to enter the toilet, they are putting the patrons off.

In case you are wondering what this nonsensical and rubbishy post full of crap (pun intended) is about, the point I'm trying to make is don't go to Chinatown Point or more specifically, don't go to Chinatown Point's toilets.
