Where in the fuck are there pay toilets?
Is this a foreign thing?
- Mic92 10y agoGermany
- skbohra123 10y agoIndia too, at many places.
- kodfodrasz 10y agoAlso in Hungary. Free toilets are not common, only in government buildings, like schools, museums, government agency offices. Usually paid toilets are cheap (.5-1 €) and clean. Free toilets are not always so clean.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoCheap? 0,5 Euro is not cheap.
- kodfodrasz 10y agoI'm not sure where do you live. It is cheap even by Hungarian standards, where average wages are around 800 euros. You must see that public toilets are seldom used by the individual, usually one can serve such needs at home, at school, at work or at a restaurant, where it is usually free (for guests at restaurants). When one is in the (usually unexpected) need, then prefers cleanliness to freeness.
- ekns 10y agoRandom examples from recent experience: Some exist in Finland (at least in Helsinki). Also saw one recently in a train station in Belgium, and IIRC a train station in the Netherlands. Also in the North of Argentina near some bus station, where you would pay directly to someone apparently responsible for cleaning/maintaining them.

- a_humean 10y agoIn the UK the majority of public toilets have been removed over the past few decades, and some of them have been replaced by paid toilets run by private companies where you pay a small fee (<£1). The removal and ofttimes poor maintenance of the public loos by local government and then privatisation was actually quite political at the time! Now people are just resigned to the fact that public loos don't really exist, and you just need to get a coffee at Starbucks if you really need to go.
