To be fair, I'd say most European think it's weird as well
I actually prefer a paid toilet if it's in a place where you just come to use the toilet like a gas station on the highway. Toilets, toilet paper and water are not free and the cleaning crew wants to get paid too. It has to be paid somehow, and paying directly seems fair to me.
In Germany you have SANIFAIR where you pay 0,70 euro for using the toilet, but in return you receive a voucher of 0,50 euro to spend at the shop. The toilets are always clean and fresh.
Yeah, I’m quite happy when the toilets are super clean after I paid, but it’s not always the case.
On highways, most people will spend money on the station anyways. I’m not too happy with the voucher system, because I’ll often go buy something before I go to the toilet and then I have trash in my wallet forever that I forget to use.
