This really does seem to be Starbucks II. And it is running related. If she is a runner who denied use of a restroom to make an emergency potty stop then SHAME on Tim Hortons. I think she knew she wasn't going to make it to the door before she had to go. It was either poop her shorts or poop on the floor. The throwing part was a bit much.
The lower mainland (Vancouver and suburbs etc) , has the mildest weather in Canada as well as being one of the most expensive housing markets in the world. As a result homeless people from across Canada go there, where hey won’t freeze to death in the winter, but it’s a place where professionals can’t afford housing and move away from. The result is a problem, tent villages and a lot of people living in cars, RVs etc on the street. It may be surprising to learn that amoung the homeless population there is also a serious drug problem. So if a restaurant opens up its washroom they become a place not just for the homeless to bathe and do laundry but tondo drugs and leave drug paraphernalia around etc. Not always fun for a business to have to clean up the mess left by non-customers in washrooms.
I think businesses should be allowed to restrict washrooms to paying customers. If you disagree, then why shouldn’t every homeowner also be required to let the bathrooms be used by anyone who demands it?
The bigger issue is poverty, drug addiction and homelessness and what steps tax dollars should be spent to deal with the issue, and in this case, provide public washrooms for their use. It should not be a cost forced into business owners.
It seems you have never been out for a run and needed to take a potty break. Or if you need to you took a dump in public and left it to be discovered by someone later. Shame on you.
