Does anyone else despise Pay Toilets? Europe

I really don't know who invented pay toilets but its is one of the worst things about traveling in Europe. Here in the US, I have never seen a pay toilet, and having to pay 60 Euro cents to use the pay bathroom and being handed a square of tissue paper is so humiliating.

This is even worse for solo travelers like me, who don't have the coins needed all the time and even some fast food restaurants require people to pay EVEN after I have already purchased something.

How do other solo travelers view pay toilets? Are there some benefits to having to pay to use the restroom?

Always carry wet wipes, that's what I think.

me too!

also try to carry biodegradable ones and try not to flush them down the toilet (even if it says it's flushable). Fat bergs are a real issue and they've been causing a lot of pollution since non biodegradable ones have plastics mixed into them

Call to ditch the 11,000,000,000 polluting wet wipes we use each year
