A Good Sign
Having breakfast in the newly retro-remodeled McDonalds, I could hardly believe my eyes; an actual Men’s room? And across the little entrance, a Women’s room? Will Wonders never cease.
Imagine! Not a stupid little icon of a man or woman, just the actual word. No apparent concern for people who would get all in a snit over perceived patriarchal discrimination or an oppressive ambiguity for transsexuals. No worries over the problems of travellers so dimwitted they would go to another country without bothering to learn how to find a place to pee. Just a common English word denoting a common physical reality. Simple.
If you guessed that I’m not a fan of ‘icons’ on doors and dashboards and computer screens and every damn unguarded designed surface in our physical world, you are right.
I would have never guessed

Why is an intelligent guy like you eating in McDonalds?
amazing, of course they will have to change it.
nah, they won’t change it; it’s true to the period, which is what they’re trying to replicate. However, I’m even more enthused about the style of the door, that frosted glass, the brass(?) push plate. Cool!
