When you're out and need to use the bathroom real bad so you end up buying a drink or something at a restaurant. (lemmy.ml)

I've always heard the opposite, as a non-traveled american. That in lots of places in Europe you have to pay to use the restroom in public places but in America there was a big push in the 70s I think to ban coin operated toilets. Basically anywhere that's not a dense urban area (NYC, SF) or a gas station off a major highway I've never had to buy anything to go to the bathroom. In your experience is it just touristy areas where you have to pay?

EDIT: Damn just realized this post is 1 year old wtf lol
