I think the reason the US doesn’t have pay-toilets, unlike e.g. Europe, is that there was actually a concerted grassroots effort in the 70s to make bathrooms free.

Oh, here we go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_to_End_Pay_Toilets_in_America

Was not surprised to see a red fist in their emblem, haha.

The vibe I’m getting is that this movement wanted public toilets to be free rather than paywalled. The Wikipedia article is shamefully vague IMO.

Also because people have a tendency to wtf pwn those paid toilets, by either purposely breaking them or taking reality-breaking shits and pisses.

Yes, basically every public toilet is paid. If you want to piss for free you need to go to the supermarket.

Or hop on a train. Ridiculous thing is that you need to pay to use toilets in train stations, but the toilets on the actual trains are free to use.

Yea most in train stations and gas stations the toilets cost 1€ to enter, the gas station ones usually give you a ticket for the value that you can use to discount whatever you buy
