> Bathrooms aren't expensive to operate as long as

Read the entire article. You need to hire an attendant or someone who at least cleans regularly. That’s the major cost, especially at $15/hour minimum wage + health benefits + 3 workers per 24-hour day.




What's the cost to clean when people poop right outside when they realize that they have to pay?


You don't need an attendant being there 24/7, why would you? Just regular cleaning ( like every hour/few hours), which can probably be done by few people ( as in a team of two can cover 10 toilets).


The fully burdened employee cost at $15/hr with benefits breaks even at around 1000 people per 24 hours paying $0.50. That sounds feasible to me.
