Pressed up against another commuter’s knees, frantically clutching the handrail as my packed train lurched towards London, my journey suddenly became even more miserable as an unmistakable odour reached my nose.
For once it wasn’t the aroma of a sweaty fellow passenger — even though the sardine-tin of a carriage meant there was an armpit just inches from my face.
Nor was it the malodorous whiff of someone’s breakfast. It was something much worse, a smell that mothers the world over recognise in an instant: baby poo.
Following my nose, I peered through a throng of people to see a well-dressed, 30-something mum brazenly changing her child’s nappy on her lap, while squashed in the middle of a three-seat row.
Around her, men and women in work attire shuffled their newspapers uncomfortably, and raised their eyebrows at each other across the aisle.
The mum, however, remained nonchalant as she cleaned the child’s bottom with a wipe, replaced its nappy, and bagged up the soiled one, stuffing it into her designer baby-bag.

Here's a tip lurking moos: If you wouldn't drop your drawers and take a shit right there in the place where you are, then you should not change a diaper there either.
And I don't buy the whole "needs of the baby come first" argument either. If you are going to be a person that shits themself on the regular, then you are going to be a person that lives with shit on themself until a destination where it is appropriate to take a shit can be reached. Otherwise, keep it in your pants. Think of the diaper as an extension of the colon.

Maybe more of us should do this:
Starbucks Employee Calls the Police When Nasty Moo Changes Diaper on a Table
Next time I see something like this I will call the police. But instead of complaining about unsanitary conditions I will complain that the parent is exposing the child's genitals in public. Within earshot of the parent, of course.

Doesn't Starbucks want its customers to treat their stores with "dignity and respect?" This would surely include not using their tables in the eating area to change diapers. .

Last summer I saw a moo changing a nappy on the stairs before a performance at a theatre. It had plenty of toilets and baby changing facilities, she had no excuse to not just go in and use one, and her sprog would have been more comfortable on a full-size changing table, so I suspect she was doing it for the attention.

If they're going to turn a dining area into a goddamn bathroom, then I fail to see the problem of them being relegated to a bathroom stall to breastfeed. If I were the manager of such a place (because any place I owned would never allow children), I would come in and announce loudly that the place must now be shut down and disinfected thanks to Moo-Moo (being sure to point her out to everybody so the customers know who to direct their ire). I'd make the corporation eat the cost of everybody but Moo-Moo's meal and add a surcharge to Moo's check.
I'm sure the corporation would fire me and apologize to Moo-Moo and give her all the gift cards, but if I was asked for comment, I would say that I want every patron of any dining facility I'm in charge of to have faith that they are eating in a sanitary and comfortable environment. Being exposed to somebody's bodily waste and a management staff that looks the other way does not inspire customer loyalty. I hope that I inspired some sort of change to begin happening that we should never pander to one customer subset at the expense of the other 90% of customers.
