  As someone with IBS-D,  I’ve wondered why there aren’t more rest areas or just public restrooms in general. Especially since Covid and fast food places going drive thru only and gas stations don’t always have bathrooms, sometimes it’s a really big struggle for me. I’ve never had an accident but it’s stressful when I’m out and can’t find a public bathroom.
context: Ima have to agree with this, some places definitely do a better place than others, my buddy once had an emergency and we were next to a subway and they held him up and said he couldn’t use the restroom unless he was a customer so he had to buy a cookie… >
  
  Yeah, that’s just so morally wrong. >
  
  But why? They need to be cleaned afterwards >
  
  That's incorrect. They are scheduled to be cleaned at certain times. That cleaning will happen regardless of whether or not that specific person uses it. So it's not causing any extra cleaning.
  Unless you are claiming that where you live they go and clean them after every single person who uses them? >
  
  Okay than… water use and toilet paper use, maybe the trashcan is getting used. All of that causes extra money >
  
  Only toilet paper use in some situations. And even when relevant, it wouldn't even be a pennies worth.
  Minimal water use.
  Incorrect again about the trash can. A bin being used by 1 additional person does not cost extra money. Again, like the cleaning, the bins will be emptied and collected regardless. The only argument you have here is if literally thousands of non-customers are using the facilities every day. And that just isn't realistic.
  If a company is going to stop someone who needs the toilet from going because it might cost them 1p (or 1c or whatever currency) then it isn't logic dictating that choice, and they shouldn't be defended for it. >
  
  You don’t use toilet paper every time?! >
  
  I'm a guy, so no, not if I'm peeing. Same as every other guy. >
  
  You still should use toilet paper to get rid of little drops 🤷🏾‍♀️ >
  
  What makes you think that? I've never heard of that or seen anyone doing it. And at urinals they don't provide toilet paper for you to do it. >
  
  There used to be better access to washrooms but you can thank the druggies, and sex perverts for their demise. >
  
  This would generally lead to spending a lot of money to have bathrooms built that ended up being too damaged and dirty for most people to use. >
  
  Then they should be cleaned and repaired. We can get the money for it >
  
  Would you want to clean them? >
  
  If I was paid enough yeah >
  
  Youd be the one  whos paying yourself....... bcuz your the taxpayer.
  Whats your next genius move? raise the minimum wage to $500 an hour so we can all be rich? brilliant!
  Man I swear some people just dont get it and never will >
  
  So every government employee doesn’t “get it”? Or do YOU not “get it”? Or are you just trolling?
