@Stoori @Mimesatwork I point it out specifically because toilets are often not free, but .50€ is a negligible amount and if charging a minuscule amount is what enables plentifully available toilets the that is ok.

    @zed @Stoori @Mimesatwork My experience in Europe tends to be: both expensive AND not plentiful :/

    @zed @Stoori @Mimesatwork no, they should be free. that's what taxes are for.

    @zed @Stoori @Mimesatwork Not arguing against you, just providing historical context: in the US there were a significant amount of pay toilets, and there was a push to get rid of them as exclusionary, but instead of being replaced with free toilets they were replaced with no toilets

  • @zed @Stoori @Mimesatwork it's not okay if they *all* have fees, or if it's really hard to find one without. What is someone supposed to do if they don't even have 50 cents? I've had people ask me for a quarter before, and I've avoided being a part of public life myself over costs of about $5. 50 cents may be extremely accessible to you, or to most people even, but not everyone, and personally I'm most concerned about those with nowhere else to go, because if they can't afford any bathroom... 💩🛣️
