Hey sorry to ask this weird and specific question but
At the original Ann & Hope store in Warwick (beofre they became an outlet store), didn't you have to pay to use the bathroom?
I heard someting about a quarter machine attached to the bathroom door that had the door locked until you paid a quarter
Is this true or?

I remember it was a dime to use the restroom at Bradlees department stores.
Paying to use the restroom gave rise to the old rhyme:
"Here I sit, broken hearted. Paid a dime, and only farted"
