I feel comfortable calling myself a world traveler, and with that in mind I have to say: no, they really aren't. Outside of VERY small town america, there is a bathroom at every gas station. Every big box store. Every fast food restaurant. Try going to most of Europe, or Asia. Finding a bathroom is like a needle in a haystack in comparison, and often times when you do find one, you need money to pay to use it. I will say they are generally cleaner, and more "private" than most US bathrooms (at least in western Europe), but if you think it's tough to find one in the US - you probably don't want to travel abroad.
