Remember pay toilets?
We used to see them in the turnpike plazas, and yes, for a dime, you
could use a stall. Oh sure, there was always one free stall on the end. But
that thing was filthy – they kept it filthy so you’d have to use the pay
toilets. So yeah, you’d better have a dime in your pocket. The problem is: you
had to pay your dime before you could see the stall. That didn’t seem fair to
me. ‘Cause what if you paid your dime and the opened the door only to find a
mess at which point you’ve wasted your dime? Or, what if you paid your dime and
opened the door only to find somebody in there? I guess there’s a reason we
don’t have pay toilets anymore…
The alternative, I suppose, would have been to have to pay
to get out.
