Kinda reminds me of paying to use the bathroom in Germany. Is that still a thing?

It was semi popular in the US in resort towns. I remember some beaches had dime machines to unlock the toilet stalls in the public bathrooms.

Not in general, never was. But in certain places definitely, like has stations along the Autobahn, train stations and some department stores.

Never was a thing except where it is.

It's just funny, I get what you meant but saying it "never was" and then immediately undercutting that with examples where it is indeed a thing means it IS a thing.

Your point, I asume, is that it's not the norm or status quo, but it does exist.
