I didn't think it was a purchase, but a rental fee. It's not very clear now that you point that out.

It can be slow...Im hopeful that it wont always be this way.
Maybe they could put for Democrats only..make the gop voters suffer!! Seriously

Every march or fair or major fundraiser Ive ever been to has featured a line of rent-a-johns.
Someone else brings them and takes them away afterward. Someone else empties and sanitizes them. Someone else stores them till the next event.
I find this desire to purchase kind of strange, as in, who besides the weary voter actually benefits?

(90,787 posts)5. I've done a little event planning in my time, & sometimes my mind just goes there...
None of what I did ever involved my having to rent port-a-johns, so I dont know what the going rate is (so to speak). For all I know that actually might be it it just seemed at first glance to be high.

Plus, you'd have to get rid of them and their contents.
