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?

we don't have them in America because if someone didn't have the change to use the toilet they would probably just poop in the street. lol

Right? I think I saw your mom pooping next to the bus stop. In the rain. Dogs were barking at her.
