Any one remember the pay toilets??

I remember these in the San Antonio Airport. I see this as a big money maker for Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant. They could charge $5 and put a credit card swiper on the outside -- since no one takes cash. Interesting article on why we don't have these anymore. I remember these in shopping malls too. We used to crawl under the door to save the dime.

I remember these!! Great article - very informative. I can't imagine this concept coming back but you never know!! Thanks for posting.

 

That's a modification of the original saying.

 

Wow, I'm almost 65 and don't recall ever seeing one.

 

Still got them in London, 50p not 10 cents.....

 

Hey! The casino suits just might be reading these boards. Don't give them any ideas!!

 

don't be surprised what was old becomes new again. and remember wanted to s**t but only farted

 

Old Orchard Beach in Maine used to have them.

 

Most people think the Limbo originated in the Islands,not so ,it was the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC.

 

Sure do.

 

Thats not a pay toilet, that the new enhanced restroom experience our customers have been asking for.

 

I shudder at seeing this here as it will give casinos the idea to "Bring Back the Good Ol' Days!"

 

next time 'round I took a chance,
saved a dime and peed my pants

Last time I saw a pay toilet was 1995, New York Grand Central.

 

I remember pay toilets in the the Detroit Greyhound bus terminal in 1983.

 

I am 61 and remember them, but haven't seen one in, I am guessing, over 30 years.

 

I remember them in some gas station restrooms when I was a kid. Now you can pee for free, if you can stand the disgusting restroom, but if you want free air, you are out of luck!!

 

Oh oh.....another fee. A toilet fee. Of course they'll "justify" this fee because they'll provide those little "doo-doo" drops in each stall.....

I remember those dime pay toilets, though. I'm 60 and I must've been about 11 last I saw them.

 

Please don't give airlines and casino executives ideas OK? For your convenience.....to serve you better.....with complimentary premium toilet paper.......I shake my head.

I'm 45 and I remember them. Just can't remember where I saw them. Probably somewhere in Toronto or Sudbury. I wasn't more than 10 for sure.

 

Sure do remember. They were nicknamed Johnny Cash
