Walgreen's in Salem

Why is it that every time I step into the Salem Walgreen's (located on Main St, next to Walmart), it smells like someone is suffering from a horrible stomach virus?

The restrooms in this Walgreen's location are in the back of the store, in an out-of-the-way yet easy to find spot. The women's restroom is utilitarian and no-frills, but well stocked with toilet paper, hand soap, and paper towels.

There are two stalls--one handicapped-accessible and the other one standard. I checked the handicapped-accessible stall and found that it was clean, then stepped into the standard stall for a look-see. It was...not too disgusting. It would certainly do in a pinch--if you are OK with squatting. There was something on the seat--nothing of an identifiable color, but rather something dingy and gray, the result of dust and grime that was sticking to an unwashed spot. Gross.

There is a paper towel dispenser and waste can next to the door (yay!), but it is positioned to the side of the door opposite the handle, which required me to prop the door open with my foot while I reached around to try to toss the paper towel into the hole in the trash can.  Not ideal, but at least I didn't have to throw my paper towel onto the floor.
