Only vaguely related, but is it normal for large American cities to completely lack publicly accessible restrooms? I visited Seattle recently, spent a lot of time just wandering around and seeing the sights; it was really alienating that, everywhere I went, you were required to buy something before allowed to ask for the restroom key, like a grade-schooler asking teacher for permission. I&#x27;m from Lexington, KY; even those &quot;Restrooms Are For Paying Customers&quot; signs aren&#x27;t common, and physically locked restrooms are practically unheard of.<p>And then people complain that homeless folks do their business on the streets. Well, what the fuck else are they gonna do? Eeesh.
