I'm talking like stores, buildings, and restaurants. Do you think someone should be able to walk in and use the bathroom without paying first?

Where do they have public bathrooms? We don't have them in my city.

@HairbrushDiva In Plymouth, Massachusetts, right near the Mayflower exhibit. They smell horrible, and there is always toilet paper all over the floor, but if you are a tourist, you are SO grateful!

@4meAndyou I've never been to the USA. I've heard of Massachusetts, of course, but I didn't know there was a Plymouth there. We have a Plymouth in England.

Bathrooms shouldn't smell horrible, but if those ones do maybe they need people to bath in Mayflower-scented water. Lol :)

@HairbrushDiva 🤣 If you've ever been to a concert held outside in a field, or to an impromptu Medieval Faire, the portable outhouses provided smell the same.

The problem with public bathrooms is that they are seldom cleaned.

@4meAndyou The problem with "public bathrooms" is that there is no such thing in my city.

@HairbrushDiva Well...you probably don't have tourist attractions? With big crowds? And is it possible that you don't have a homeless population living on the streets?
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@4meAndyou Yes, we do.

@HairbrushDiva Then there's no accounting for it.

@4meAndyou I know people who originally came from other towns and they've never spoken of public bathrooms either.

@HairbrushDiva Here in the USA the Chamber of Commerce pays to build and maintain them.

@4meAndyou I've never been to the USA in my life so I wouldn't know.

@HairbrushDiva Come for a visit when this rotten virus is over. I highly recommend booking a flight on a small private plane and flying through the Grand Canyon!

@4meAndyou By the way, what has all that got to do with bathrooms? Wasn't that the topic before?
4meAndyou · F
@HairbrushDiva Yes...but then you mentioned that you had never been to the USA, and I commented that you should come for a visit! BTW...there is a huge building on the Grand Canyon overlook with public bathrooms...🤣. We have them in all our state and National Parks.

@4meAndyou I think I see it now. You have public bathrooms in the USA and we don't have them in the UK. I hope the baths are in private cubicles like toilets.

@HairbrushDiva Yes, they are.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@4meAndyou I've never seen such things in American movies before, and I've watched lots of those.

@HairbrushDiva For the amount of money they pay for actors, they are probably not going to show you the inside of a public park bathroom...🤣. However, the public may use the bathrooms, also, in almost every gas station, fast food restaurant, and coffee and donut shop across the USA.
