- United857 10y agoStill very common overseas (e.g. most public toilets in China are pay, even in large shopping malls).
- imgabe 10y agoI was in China a couple years ago and don't remember seeing any. Beijing in particular seemed to have abundant free public restrooms.
- jdavis703 10y agoAren't these quite common in Europe still? I'm 25 and American and have paid for toilets several times (I even remember having to pay at a McDonalds in Washington, DC back when I was really little).
- brianwawok 10y agoCommon in Mexico too. Guy standing outside with TP collects the money. Well worth it over Mexican free toilets.
- Nav_Panel 10y agoAnd now it's near impossible to find a toilet in Manhattan after sundown -- either you're sneaking into a bar toilet or you're paying some local business so they'll let you use their customer toilet. Pay toilets seem like a very reasonable solution (although they installed some in NYC relatively recently with pretty poor results due to camped out homeless people and drug users).
