People pay the same price as it cost to fly packed meat and then complain they’re treated like cattle.
Not typical Belgian. I’ve seen it here in Rotterdam as well, just at a shopping mall.
What happens if you just jump over it?
Make it bancontact only even, so only Belgian residents can go to the loo!
I seriously doubt this is a ‘typical Belgian’ experience. The complaint however, sounds typical Belgian.
And you don’t have a card?
Who seriously has cash anymore these days? I’m way more annoyed about places where they don’t accept digital payment options.
The “pay by card for toilet” isn’t typical Belgian.
Whining about it online though..
So now banks are going to sell where I’m doing a dump?
I’ll take my dump right there then
I get the feeling and it sucks how you need to balance the “risk (can I hold it until the next free toilet) vs. benefit” to the price. However, when you think about it rationally, toilets need to be cleaned. Cleaning costs personal and money. If it’s not paid directly, it’ll go masked in your booking cost one way or the other. it might be less obvious but you’re paying it anyway.
It’s a typical experience for people who buy cheap ass plane tickets and need to drive to shithole Charleroi to take their crappy plain manned by exploited personnel.
Went to a festival yesterday. 0,50 per time you used the toilet or 2,- for unlimited access. Pin only.
Fun fact. Just turn the turnstiles a little bit back and you can get in for free.
I vehemently refuse to pay for a basic human necessity. Paying for toilets is a part of Belgian culture that needs to die. In France and Germany you have free toilets in aires. In Anglo Saxon countries toilets are virtually always free. Even in most bars and restaurants in the US you can use the toilet as a non-customer. In Belgium it would be ”dan moet ge wel een consumptie kopen meneer”.
So I walk through, enter through the exit turnstile, jump over, crawl under turnstiles every time.
Also an obligatory fuck you to Kinepolis for asking money to use the toilet if you already spent 15 euro on a movie ticket.
I don’t get all the whining about Charleroi airport.
Pay the extra 150€ it costs to fly with a different airline from Zaventem or pay 1€ for toilets.
That airport does what it advertises : cut cost to be cheaper than should be possible.
It is a Belgian experience. I have yet to run into another airport where I need to pay for the toilet.
Wow that’s legal huh? Jesus.
They’re gonna do this in the stations too, we pay so much for public transport and then you have to pay 1€ to take a piss while you have been waiting for an hour in the station for your train that has been delayed by 56 minutes.
When I asked station staff if I could withdraw money anywhere nearby cause I had to go to the toilet they said yeah closest bank is pretty far away, just go on the train it’s free. Sir, I’d go on the train, if the train was in fact here and not delayed.
Paying for a basic necessity: crimnal
Only accepting card: totally fine, fuck keeping a million coins in your pocket at all times
You find them a lot in Germany on service areas on the highway
I cant be the only one to just hop that ? Im not paying for something that should be free lol. Always got away with going over it.
Sorry, but a typical Belgian experience would be that it would only be available with cash…
Pee on this tourniquet, problem solved
You’re travelling on a plane and didn’t bring a card with you? Sounds like a you problem.
The disabled toilet is right next to the turnstile and is free. I used it recently and signalled to others that it’s open, nobody cared
There is literally a free option visible in this picture, yet ppl would rather pay simply to conform
The toilets after the security check are free. These are the toilets in the departure hall.
I am on holiday in Morocco, I would gladly pay 1 euro for a clean toilet. Cheap ass bastards! . 1. Make more money so it doesn’t hurt you or 2. Plan a head. Don’t drink to much water or stop at the gas station for 50 cents
Keep your water bottle, if your need to pee, manage to pee inside and leave it at the border control in the airport pretending it’s alcohol.
Last time I went you could just push on it and it opened without having to pay 1€.
I’ve hopped that metal fence so many times
I fucking loathe this. It made irrationally angry the last time I was there.
When I went to pee a cleaner was busy in the toilets. He started full on raging at me he was busy and I needed to leave.
I told the dude unless he was gonna give me a euro of his wage I was going to take a good long drain.
Nice try Charleroi
Aren’t they legally required to accept cash?
Pee on it to show dominance.
I support this on condition that the restroom are indeed kept spotlessly clean.
Who ever has any loose change in pocket anyway.
It’s been over a year since I’ve had any cash in my hands.
