I'm guessing yes, because remember, Brendan Gall comes out of SOMEWHERE while they are traveling to look at the satellite, and it just seemed like a loo break. Besides, sixteen hours? Either that or they installed a porta potty.
Oh yay! You're brilliant. Thank you. I had completely forgotten about that moment in TDO. Too distracted by the John and Rodney show, I think. Gall was definitely coming out of the bathroom. Plus, the long trip--there has got to be a loo. ::nods::
The Ancients mastered the art of bowel control! Either that, or they gave up eating - think about it, to ascend they had to give up all bodily functions, so they must have trained for a few centuries. Ergo: no loos. -> dig holes?
I never heard of self-checkout. Who controls you? And where do you live, in the future? (No, I know where you live, I just had to emphasis my sad back-wards planet-dwelling).
LOL, the art of bowel control. They would be into something that strange, wouldn't they? See, I don't get the whole ascension thing. You don't eat, you don't have sex....what's the appeal?

There's someone watching over the area, so you can't run off with all your groceries. Although once I keyed in the code for green bell peppers instead of red bell peppers, and came out a dollar or so ahead. (shhhh, don't tell!)
I am really sure about this ability!! It's an appeal only ... advanced beings can understand? And canon-Rodney ;P
Hah, but they can't see it all, so most people will cheat ... which of course the supermarkets must have calculated in and decided to still be much cheaper than having staff there.
I say yes on the bathrooms, for the reasons wickdzoot gave; I mean, either Gall was coming back from the bathroom, or he was coming back from throwing up into one of those big cargo containers the Wraith opens later.
Also: I worship self-checkout. No longer to I need to deal with cashiers holding up, for example, tahini and asking me what it is and what I plan to do with it. (The only answer that ever occurs to me on these occasions is: "Eat it.") Trader Joe's still doesn't have self-checkout, unfortunately, but if history is anything to go by, they'll be getting it in about, well. Six years. And I will be a happy human.

I kind of like that idea. *g*
And I so dig not having to deal with cashiers. Especially at this particular store--they're always so odd. Like the one who lectured me about coupons, about how much money she saves, and how many things she gets for free by working the coupons, like that cranberry juice that was on sale, okay, she doesn't like cranberry juice but she got it for one quarter!!!
am I the only person who absolutely loves the self-checkout lines in the grocery store? ::blinks::
I have never heard of such a thing,how would that work? you could just *not* scan a few items, that would be too tempting EEk! also it would be way too much extra work, I presume they lower the prices?, or really they should be paying you *g*
erm! and bathroom? I hadnt thought about it *g* though maybe they dont have the 'conventional' bathrooms, I bet they would have come up with some ingenious gadgetty thing tho *g*
The bagging area is set up so that it can sense if you put something in a bag without scanning it first, but I suppose if you are clever, you can easily work around it. There's someone watching, too, but not very closely.
My husband thinks it's a lot of work, and is very offended by the concept. I'm too busy going 'wheeee!' and listening to the scanner beep to even notice. *g*

I bet they would have come up with some ingenious gadgetty thing tho Now that scares me. *g* Mwuahahaha, now I remember the special toilet for Alan Rickman's character in Galaxy Quest.
I always figured that since the Ancients were pretty good at building stuff, they'd have bathrooms such as those in Firefly, i.e. they're built into the wall and you can sort of unfold it.
If you haven't seen Firefly, I can prolly find caps to show what I mean.

Not that I disagree, but where would they put the bathroom? All the space in the jumper is accounted for.
