The toilets are free but bathroom is supported by pay toilet paper.
When it's time to wipe, insert cash or credit card. Per sheet price is displayed. Sale registers like on gas pump as sheets are dispensed.-- Mustardface, Jan 09 2010 I thought there was a product:evil category.-- bungston, Jan 10 2010 they have these already in japan.-- WcW, Jan 10 2010 Ha, got these in Thailand... But the machines are obviously marked up in Thai, and there are usually several brands. The machines dispense a little cardboard box with the contents. No pictures, either, on the box or machines.
My recommendation from hard earned experience is to break open the box immediately and check that it does in fact contain tissue, so that one doesn't need to wipe one's arse with a sanitary towel...

And I am sure that some guy is going to have a hard time explaining to his wife why he charged up $17 worth of TP in one day.-- Jscotty, Jan 10 2010 You could just take your own bogroll.-- nineteenthly, Jan 11 2010 This is an issue of marginal utility if I ever read one. How much would someone pay for that first wipe?-- rcarty, Jan 11 2010 Probably a lot if they weren't aware of it until they finished.-- nineteenthly, Jan 11 2010 I'd simply just use my underpants.-- rcarty, Jan 11 2010 /I'd simply just use my underpants./ Can you pass them underneath the wall to me in the next stall?-- bungston, Jan 11 2010 You're lucky they're long-underwear.-- rcarty, Jan 11 2010 Oh, well in that case, let me use the other side.-- Jscotty, Jan 11 2010 random, halfbakery
