Good point. While traveling in Germany several years ago, my friend and I asked the clerk at a train station where to find the restroom. He thought we were looking for a restaurant and kept pointing us toward a snack bar nearby. It wasn't until we asked for the toilet that he pointed us in the correct direction.
It may be a bit vulgar, but it works, and that's what counts at moments like that!
