I hear that in Europe you have to pay to access a stall. Are those doors more secure and therefore private? Otherwise crawling under like that kid means you can

I hear that in Europe you have to pay to access a stall. Are those doors more secure and therefore private? Otherwise crawling under like that kid means you can use the toilet for free.

They usually run down to the floor in my experience, and are generally much nicer in general. I wish NYC would do paid bathrooms instead of just having no public bathrooms.

  Oh god, NYC is probably the worst place on earth to try to find a clean, free, toilet.

    Every hotel in the city is legally required to provide a public restroom.

Usually the machine, such as turnstile (or human, or both) that control access, is before even entering washrooms.

In some places that is the case but not in others. Europe is too big and diverse to conclude a trend.

As a French (but all of Europe is pretty much like this) we have closed rooms similar to a home bathroom. I was horrified on the US with all the empty spaces. Who child conceive so idiotic bathrooms where you see the person inside?

  Europe is (was) also the place with a hole in the floor where you squatted. Saw those all over France, as we were driving on a family vacation from Belgium. In Paris, and most larger cities in France, they had more decent services. But they also had public pissoirs.
