HEB on North New Braunfels and Nacogdoches

HEB's been accused of a lot of things: muscling out Handy Andy and Albertsons, not having enough checkers on Sunday Afternoons, and accusations that their shopping carts aren't big enough for the homeless people using them as apartments.

Wait.  What?

At any rate, I don't share those lamentations.  In fact, I love HEB... and I know you do, too.  From Dr. B's to Hill Country Fare cough medicine, Charles and his crew save families in San Antonio thousands of dollars a year.

But, are their men's rooms worth a Buddy Buck?

At this location, I'm happy to tell you that yes, yes they are.

When you first walk in, you're greeted by:

Soviet Entrance

Basically, they're reminding their partners and (apparently) resident artists to take off the stuff that can easily be forgotten and, thus, soiled.  Also, don't take unpaid merchandise in there, please!  The last thing I want when distracting myself from a busy day of shopping is flipping through a magazine on the rack that's got half it's crossword puzzle finished.

I know people ain't doin' that standing up.  (And just because it's Sudoku doesn't class you up either, Bub.  A bathroom puzzle is a bathroom puzzle.)

On the backside of the door:

You heard them!

The ever-beneficial bathroom cleaning log.  As you can see, they've cleaned it so many times, they've had to add some extra lines to initial.  Also, they don't distinguish employees from the general public: wash your hands before going back to work.

Perks:

Nature's call favors no one!

No more layering paper towels on the cold tile floor to change your baby - they have a complete changing station in here!  Huge for dads and San Antonio boyfriends alike!  HEB is BEGGING for you to be responsible!

Also:

Careful: it'll make you hover.

The deafening sound this hand-dryer by Dyson makes?  That's the sound of it kicking a*s.  Stuck my washed hands in here and my shirt sleeves blew up like a Halloween suit.  It took all of five seconds to blow any and all moisture away from my hands.

And last, but not least, the sink:

Cute, but still a men's room

Father-Son sinks.  "Use your elbow to turn it off, son.  Use your elbow to turn it off."

All in all, a great Men's Room, especially given the fact that HEB isn't even in the bathroom business.  Nobody stops into HEB just to use their bathrooms, but these looked just as good as the Buc ee's on the way to Houston (which always seems to look better on the way HOME from Houston).

Kudos, Charles.  (SLOW CLAP).  Ku.  Dos.

Four pucks.
