Anyone whoâs used a public toilet, and thatâs likely most people, knows the experience can be truly gross. Most public bathrooms arenât the most sanitary place, and thereâs no doubt people would rather avoid the experience as much as they can.
But what if there was a way to make that bathroom experience better? Well, in a new poll, 56% of Americans say theyâd be willing to pay to pee, as long as it meant a guarantee of a clean and well-stocked public restroom. As for how much theyâd shell out, 45% would spend a quarter, while 29% would go up to 50-cents and 6% would actually spend more than a buck.
It really shouldnât be too shocking that folks would be willing to pay for a clean restroom, especially when 70% of people say theyâve had a really bad experience due to an unsanitary public restroom. The biggest public restroom complaints include clogged or unflushed toilets, followed by jammed or empty toilet paper dispensers and doors that donât latch closed.
- And businesses really should be wary of all these complaints. The survey finds that 82% of people think that if a restaurant has a dirty restroom, itâs âextremelyâ or âfairlyâ likely theyâll have a dirty kitchen. Whatâs more, 47% of people say an unclean restroom tells them a company doesnât care about their customers, while 46% think itâs a sign of poor management.
