Capitalism

You shouldn't have to pay to use the bathroom at all. That's the absurd part or premise about why they have this policy in some European countries.
They aren't the only ones. 5 years ago I was in D.C. and while walking from the subway to the Mall I needed to use the bathroom. Cam across a convience store so went inside but the bathroom required a code from the reciept to open the door. Stood inline to buy a 1 25 cent of water that cost me 1.25 and didn't get a receipt with code code. I asked for it and and he said he can't give me since I didn't pay enough. I then told him he will have to clean up a mess unless he gives the code to the bathroom and then I will sue for the embarraement because I was refused entry. he gave me the code and I barely made it in time. This is one of the reasons I HATE! larger cities.
