While waiting for our flight to Toronto, I went to the bathroom in Tampa’s airport, where I saw this attachment in the stalls:
It’s The Pouch, an acrylic bag or item holder that’s been making increasing appearances in public bathroom stalls over the past decade.
But the Pouches at Tampa airport are unlike others I’ve seen. They differ in one key way, with this sticker:
That’s right — it’s a “do not jam your baby into the Pouch for hands-free pooping” sticker!
I have this question: Was there an incident that led to the sticker, or are they anticipating that someone might try to use it as a baby-holder?
(To be fair: the “Pouch” name and logo, along with the fact that kangaroos actually carry their young in their pouches, might lead people to think that’s it’s supposed to be baby storage.)
