Criminal charges for everyone who leaves the “holy hall” unsightly: Rewe branch takes serious action against toilet piglets.

A Rewe store manager is fed up with toilet vandalism.
Anyone who ignores the rules may now face criminal charges.
Bremen – Finding a clean toilet facility in public is often associated with a lot of luck.
To find an acceptable toilet, you have to rely on the manners of those around you.
This seems to have gone terribly wrong in a Rewe branch.
Customers have apparently repeatedly left the toilet in an unacceptable condition, which has now prompted store management to threaten consequences and initiate monitoring measures.
Criminal complaint for customers who leave the toilet in poor condition: notice posted in the Rewe branch
“Dear users of this toilet!
Please leave this toilet as you would like it to be!” reads the message on the laminated notice shared by a user on Reddit.
Although the location of the branch and the authenticity of the note cannot be confirmed, there is no reason to doubt its authenticity.
The Rewe store wants to take tough action against the toilet vandals and warns: “If you ignore these rules, any improper treatment of this place will result in CRIMINAL CHARGES!” The supermarket emphasizes the seriousness of the threat of criminal charges with capital letters and underlining.
Rewe describes the toilet as a “holy hall” and monitors access
Customers are now no longer allowed to easily use the branch's toilet.
“You can get the key for the holy hall at the bakery,” reads the instructions on the notice.
Access is monitored.
It is nothing new that customers are occasionally confronted with threats.
An Edeka owner once warned on a note: “This was definitely the last time.” Toilet facilities also have strange notices, such as the instruction that the water from the urinals is not drinking water.
A toilet in a supermarket is actually a luxury for customers that many do not value.
In some branches of Rewe, Aldi, Lidl and Co., guests are only allowed to use the employee toilet as a gesture of goodwill.
Supermarkets are not obliged to provide a toilet.

Are children playing on the toilet?
Rewe's strict toilet rule raises questions
Of course, everyone who uses a toilet wants it to be clean.
However, the supermarket's justification for why this toilet should be particularly clean is unusual.
“Children also play here and babies are changed!” says the notice.
Children playing in the toilet?
A user is rightly surprised.
Another responds to him with a humorously disgusting remark: “Of course.
When you were a kid, didn’t you play with the brown action figures that were always in that weird porcelain bowl?” Well, have fun, but please clean up afterward.
