Even before Covid-19 flight attendants, other passengers and myself noticed the horrid layout of having the galley and lavatory mixed together...it's like having a bathroom in the middle of your kitchen.

Other domestic operators of the A321 like American and Spirit have the more standard rear lav's opposite of each other and the galley where the flight attendant's sit and distribute food and beverages separated. The A321 seems to be a 757 replacement so why can't the layout be similar for Delta (it is over at American and Spirit and countless other carriers). Watch what happens when a large overweight individual goes back there...the flight attendant's have to move. It is really demoralizing for larger people.

Delta's version is just so cheap since the purpose is to cram more seats in.

In the covid-19 era which is here for to stay for quite a while, the congestion in that part of the plane on like ATL-LAS or ATL-LAX is crazy even with the current seat reductions.
It's nothing like a 777 or 767-300 or even a 757 on those route's where creature comforts for bodily functions are still available..

The A321 is a great airplane...I would hope Delta would consider making it a little better and safer and sanitary for the passengers and it's employees.
