From what I've heard Europe is way more gatekeepey with their bathrooms. Having ones you have to pay for? It's extremely rare for a place to not have a bathroom here, even in a city.

Edit: I think I grew up in one of the states where they're pretty strict about having bathrooms. Blue states rule lol

Well, it is public bathrooms you have to pay for here, as they are run commercially. But each place that offers food or drink and where you can sit down (so e.g. a food vendor cart is excempt) has to have free toilets for their customers. Some might be better, some might be worse (I've been in a McD in a ... not so well off part of a town and it was horrible - you had to ask for a key, and they had this horrible, dim bluish light that is supposed to reduce drug use). But customers toilets are free.

A friend of ours had a restaurant at a hiking trail in a forest, and he had put up a donation box for those who just wanted to use a toilet without eating or drinking there, which I consider fair.
