partition or stall

Can you please correct paragraph?

The United States have the worst restroom stalls partitions. By that I mean that you have no privacy. If you can't have any privacy in the restroom, where would you expect to have any. There is a gap of about a foot and a half between the floor and the bottom of the stall's door partition. There is also a gap between the door and the partition. Why can't the door start at the floor. I hate knowing that people know what I'm doing in there.

Yes, stacking three nouns together is awkward. I would reword: The restroom stalls in the United States have the worst partitions. By that I mean that you have no privacy.

The restrooms you described are mostly public variety and the reason they designed it that way is because they cost less to manfucature, and more importantly they are not intended for your comfort and privacy. On the contrary, they don't want people to take their sweet time, or perhap enjoy a nap in there.
