A sign of increasing local homelessness...

...in the college town that I now live in:

My local bank that I've used now for almost three years, now has a sign on the front door that restrooms are for customers only.

. . .

(I asked what was up with that to the teller, and she said that they didn't want to, they've always let people use it, but people started stealing the toilet paper and even the bathroom deodorizer products, so they had to put the kabosh down... She also said that she recently found out that there has been a homeless man who takes a tent and sets up between the external drive-through ATMs under this big external canopy right outside the bank, on weekends especially long weekends once everyone is gone from the bank -- somehow he lost track of time recently, and he was there one morning when staff came in, and the jig was up, and none of the people at the bank had ever seen that before, either.)
