    If I have to wait for an employee to unlock an item, I’m just buying it somewhere else, whether it’s online or another brick and mortar that doesn’t make me beg to spend money there. Same with stores that have passcode locks on their bathroom doors. I’m not asking a retail worker for permission to pee.

      Will someone please tell the Europeans having to have cash to piss or shit is a crime against humanity?

          In my travels across Europe most countries give a massive middle finger to the disabled. I hear the argument in preserving old building and architecture but you’re essentially walling off an entire sedition of ppl from living normally. As an American living in Germany I’d have a tough time choosing between German cheap Healthcare vs American handicap friendly infrastructure if I was disabled

            Though problem with the US is if your disability prevents you from driving your fucked.

              If you’re in a larger city driving isn’t necessary, the problem is paying for living in a larger city near the public transport stops.

                  In rural areas there are organizations that pick up the disabled and elderly that’s covered by the medicare (or Medicad I can never remember the difference). There are limits but it’s something

          Holy shit. I don’t think I ever recall paying more than 0.20€. Granted it has been over a decade since I have paid at a public restroom.
