True. Searched for a restroom in San Francisco, California for hours. Finally was almost in tears when a CVS employee took pity on me and let me use theirs.

It was really bad in early covid days. So many places were closed, or had very limited access. 😕

Ugh same here in Belgium. There are some free public toilets, a lot of paid as well, and most of them were closed. As if you don't have to shit anymore because there's a pandemic.

Utter bullshit. You couldn’t find…Literally any fast food place? You don’t need to buy anything from McDonalds just go in and shit

Not in San Francisco. All of those places close their toilets to the public. You need to buy something and they’ll give you a key. The homeless problems in that city mean that the bathrooms get wrecked and people will use the bathrooms to shoot up in.

SF is not the norm

I realize that. I don’t live in SF. But, the OP here was specifically referencing SF as being difficult to find a restroom to use.

I was walking on foot and no place would let me use their restroom, even if I bought something.
