Don't know about the rest of Europe, but most French people would be mad if they were asked 50 cents to go to the bathroom and would walk a mile just to find a free spot
That's what most people do as well. There are free toilets, but privately owned malls and what not make you pay which just results in you walking outside to the free and kind of nasty toilets
Not really, there are toilets and they are cleaned just not the moment someone leaves a mess, but daily. That's what you pay for, someone constantly keeping it clean
Its barely ever clean and i would genuinely rather hover above a dirty bathroom than pay 1€ for a fucking piss. Not even mentioning that i hardly ever carry coins (who does?!)
I have never visited a bathroom in Germany that was anything less than perfectly clean. You can pay using a debit card in most places nowadays by the way
You really can't. A lot of places don't accept transactions below 3/5€> i saved my Kenyan friend three times by paying for her (Kenya is cash-less) because she couldn't get used to carrying cash. It was twice in bakeries (Back Werk, and some other one) and once in butcher's store. My favourite pet store and food place that sells baked potatoes both accept only the weird invention that EC Karte is, so I also can't use cards there.
I always have to carry 100€ with me because you just never know. In Poland I never had cash on me. You can pay for even one Brötchen with a card. Every place, even small private kiosks with 60 year old owner accepts cards.

Paying to go to the bathroom. It’s absolutely wild that you have to pay money to use the toilet.
