I think most, all of the local Restaurants in my County have this sign or something like it.

 

They are not a public restroom facility.

 

 

No one should have to pee their pants. I have never had to buy something at a Starbucks to use their bathroom other than this one location.

This is not unprecedented. When Howard Schultz came back to work after betraying Seattle by selling the Sonics,(another story)  he discovered the staff could not make a cup of coffee the way he wanted

Remember back in the good ole days of having to search through encyclopedias at your local library.    The 90s were rough 😅.

It is common in downtown locations.

True story:

 

My husband had this idea in the UK that you needed to buy something in order to use the bathroom. We'd been out for hours all day long and he was ready to start doing the 'pee pee dance'. In the market town there's a massive castle you can go explore, and he starts taking me towards it. I'm like ''oh we're going to visit it?" He's like.. ''no, I gotta pee bad.. maybe I can just go behind the wall". I am absolutely horrified, and ask why didn't he just go in any of the numerous fast food places to pee? He's like it's surely not allowed. So we begin to get into this walking argument about how it's horrible to walk into a place without buying something to just pee. And I'm like, but you think it's *ok* to pee on an ancient monument?! Eventually the wife's logic won out in the end. Subway didn't throw him out of the shop for needing to go, and the castle was saved!

 

I have seen some places put up signs saying 'no public bathroom', but if it's not listed and the restroom is available in a public area I don't see what the issue is. I've never seen a Starbucks bar someone, or any place really.

There are no public bathrooms in the UK.

 

If you want to use the Toilets it is commonly understood you buy something.

Subway is American.

So only American-brand food chains are allowed to offer bathrooms in the UK? ;)

Do not remember Subway being that present, there was a general understanding that McDonald's  when they came in did not count for the general rule.

We were walking around a small town the other day and the wife had to use the facilities.  No public restrooms around, so we went into a Jimmy Johns, she used the bathroom, and I purchased a small drink and some chips.  There was no sign, but I felt funny, so I made the purchase.

Yes because it does not cost anything to clean and maintain bathrooms...so why buy anything
