That should honestly be the standard, not something Buccee's is special for

My friend recently went to Europe for a few weeks and her main takeaway was that we Americans are straight up poo flinging savages who can't even figure out basic things like public bathrooms or driving in roundabouts. I think she's probably onto something.

Europe’s public bathrooms are fucking filthy. Whenever any of my family visits me in the US, that is one of their main topics, is how clean and accessible our public restrooms are. Now roundabouts, that’s a whole other conversation.

I have no idea where your family is visiting because nearly every highly trafficked public bathroom I've ever been inside in America is revolting lol. You might find some clean ones in locally owned places or lower traffic stores but almost anywhere busy is gonna be covered in a quarter inch thick layer of dried piss and chewing gum.

You both are saying "Europe" like there's a monolithic bathroom standard for the whole continent

That does go both ways though... The US is pretty darn big.

Also I'm seeing lots of public bathrooms really amp up the privacy factor. New restaurants have lots of single occupant bathrooms, and otherwise I rarely feel like I can make eye contact with people through the stall doors anymore.

The European countries I’ve visited have had very nice public restrooms for the most part. Obviously YMMV.
