I was in France recently and used a public restroom. It had an attendant, and a fee of €0.50. Charging for the restroom is unfortunate, but this setup is certainly better than eliminating public restrooms entirely.
That practically ensures that some people who have to go really badly, and for whom €0.50 is a big deal, will just drop their business on the sidewalk.
Where did all the public bathrooms go?

#54This is why anyone from Eastern PA knows Wawa is considered essential public infrastructure.
You can get a £2 pint of cider or ~£1.80 half-decent coffee while you're there too

#58Something else I've noticed, garbage cans are disappearing. I had some trash in my car I needed to get rid of: McDonalds? None outside, Tacobell? none outside, CVS? none outside OR inside, The entire rest of that shopping center? nope. Luckily gas stations still have them but its sad to see these community service type things disappear.
You would think it's in the interest of whoever is responsible for keeping those areas clean to offer garbage cans.
