It's also worth noting there are plenty of council-run public toilets that are free, here in the UK. It might not be as clear cut as you think.

- benjohnson 6y agoUK has the same problem with jerks ruining their public toilets causing them to close https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/10/closure-of-public-toilets-causing-anxiety-distress-and-frustration-across-uk https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/10/closure-of-pub...
- maxerickson 6y agoIt varies quite a bit in the US also. My local park has public restrooms in several spots. The 'downtown development authority' provides public bathrooms in the (run down) commercial district. Highways in the state have relatively evenly spaced public rest stops.
- dylan604 6y agorest stops tend to be far outside of cities, and are pretty remote. a delivery driver isn't going to be using one of these during the course of their day. very odd thing to bring up as an example in this context.
- maxerickson 6y agoIt's an example of public accommodation, I certainly didn't mean to imply that a delivery driver would navigate to one. (in my region the nearest facility would pretty much always be a gas station, with people not getting worked up about it if you walk in just to use the toilet)
- cosmodisk 6y agoI think it depends on the council and the location itself. For instance,I live in, what could be called, reasonably managed borough with a central library that has toilets.. It's a huge facility that can accommodate hundreds of people. So instead, people were adviced to use the public toilet just meters away from it.. Then the toilet got closed and now Burger King is the target destination. In the same borough,some parks have toilets,while others don't,etc. There's not much logic in this at all.
