This sucks. While traveling across Europe McDonald's and Starbucks's bathrooms have been such a boon to us when we needed one in a pinch and there wasn't a paid for one near by. We've always bought something to thank them for the services but that they're there to use even if we didn't pay them is really, really nice. I can imagine they'd be a horror to clean if abused. I used to clean bathrooms, golf carts, and pick range balls in in high school for a local mid-priced golf range and it was the bathrooms that I always dreaded. They were always disgusting -- and you couldn't use them unless you paid to play nine holes or bought golf balls to hit. Imagine how bad a free toilet might be -- then again, every time I've had to use a Starbucks bathroom they've been immaculate -- likely because some poor employee had to keep them so.
