This is true, and given the costs of construction and remodeling, it's probably not reasonable to redesign the space unless you were going to do a major remodel anyway, which is why I've suggested in this thread just making both bathrooms unisex. It's cheap, it's easy, it solves load balancing issues, it solves transgender issues, and it solves minor child issues.Well, in what I said, I was talking about a giant women's line, but if you want to go with men's that's fine too.
Hypothetically, there is no shorter men's line. All the men's bathrooms have giant lines, and all the women's bathrooms are basically empty.
Well, we evaluate some things, and open up some employee only bathrooms.
Usually there's only one employee only bathroom with one stall at smaller venues, and at larger venues, there's only a very limited amount.
It would not be enough to ease the load.
You just said "space". How am I supposed to argue with that?
Argue with this:

You're smart , too smart.
Thank you.
And if the next venue is half a mile? Or hell, let's make it easy, 500 feet. You going to make a woman who desperately needs to pee walk 500 feet to hopefully find a bathroom without a line at some place that may or may not be open, and may or may not have a line, when there's an unused restroom five feet away?
Only if the other store is CLOSE! 500 miles is not close! I am talking about a mall, or similar.
Malls aren't the only places in existence (and usually malls don't have near the bathroom issues a convention center, football stadium, or theater does, as restrooms tend to be used sporadically, as opposed to all at once).
That's cruel. You know walking makes you have to pee more, right?
Addressed.Sure, but as long as the bathrooms are gendered, if the clientelle is not evenly split by gender, you're going to have lines at ALL the men's bathrooms and none of the women's, or vice versa. It doesn't matter if there are 2 bathrooms of 500 bathrooms, you'll still have the same problem. Half of the bathrooms will have huge lines, and half of them will be empty, because you are artificially adjusting the load onto only half of the facilities.
So? Very raely will that happen. Lets say this is an office building. 60% percent men. There are 1,000 workers and 120 bathrooms. For some reason, all men's bathrooms have 20 men at them. Now let's say, they decided to add 1 unisex bathroom. thus reducing every line to 10. This shows that these three bathrooms can coexist. No need to get rid of mens and womens.
That's a hell of a lot of bathrooms for an office building. You'd never have a line ever, but it would be the most expensive plumbing job in history for a building that size. And the hell is the size of that unisex bathroom, given that there are 2400 people waiting in line to use the men's bathroom and it can accommodate 1200 of them?
There's usually 1 toilet (urinal or stall) for every 35-40 employees, give or take.
