This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

It's difficult to find specific laws or regulations, but the gist of what I'm finding is that most places of public accommodation in the US must provide a restroom free of charge though they may limit access to paying customers.

There appear to be numerous exceptions that allow not providing a restroom at all, but I couldn't find anything that says they can charge for it.

The one thing that does come to mind is certain venues that have bathroom attendants. In those places, you're de facto paying every time you go because that attendant will shove a towel in your face with one hand and extend the other hand palm up faster than the speed of light.
