Remember when it was a dime to use a restroom? Thank goodness someone made that illegal. Speaking of dumbest vending, anyone remember these on family trips in the 1960's and 70's? Hard to beleive it, but tens of thousands of these were sold.
I just spent a couple of weeks in Northwestern Europe... and had to keep paying .50 Euro to go to the bathroom in most public areas. It's no wonder many of the train stations smelled like urine. On a bright note, the restrooms that you paid to use had an attendant who kept them fairly clean.
