I’ll need a subscription to flush my toilet at some point.

It's called a water bill. You pay it monthly, even if you don't use any water!

    I'm sure you get my point. Yes you have to pay the water bill to flush the toilet. There's lots of other "subscriptions" for utilities like power, garbage collection, sewer. We call those bills not subscriptions and they've been around as long as modern society. I think we can take those for granted. Not in the same league as the subscription hell we're seeing for online services these days.

    I'm from NL... Would be better if there was a subscription to use toilets instead of paying 50c or more every time. Always have to carry coins around just incase you need to pee. Super annoying.

    There's an app actually in NL to find toilets, and it tells you their condition and the cost, open times, etc.

    And if you have IBS, you can get a yearly toilet pass (EuroKey)... That gives you quicker? And one time cost access to toilets.

    Wild shit honestly.

    You'd think so right, and everything else here is super tap to pay oriented... Most toilets aren't though, maybe the ones at the train station, but that's a whole other kettle of fish. You pay for that, then they give you a voucher back to go use at a store in the station. Nobody uses them, so it's just extra overpriced and hella dirty.

    Honestly it's a scam all round.
