It was pretty weird.

Even in McDonalds you got to use the toilet only if you bought food from there (they had a lock on the toilet door and you had to enter the code on your receipt). Pretty crazy! And on the streets in cities I saw these cubicle things you had to put money in to enter and use the toilet.

Seriously, Europe is so weird about toilets. XD Here there are public toilets in every town, shopping center, restaurant etc.!
Geez that's awful! That's like true torture to make people pay to use a restroom. The buying things to use the restroom is common too. It's not everywhere here, but some people don't like people using the restroom unless they buy something. I can see why because some places people only do wrong there. Like at my work. People take things in there and try hiding things on their person. We had people try to take knives out of their packages and hide it. Some gone horribly wrong and....made a mess. Latest one I found. Someone took something sharp all along the top of the counter where the sinks are in the women's restroom and scratched the surface from one complete end to the other. People are just awful and cause things like "pay to use the bathroom." Then again I remember now that I think about it. As a kid I saw some backend gas station restrooms where you could buy condoms or tampons from some machine right in the bathroom. Oddest things you can find in restrooms sometimes.
