(30,054 posts)I've worked in food service off-and-on for many years. (In a bad economy it's proven to be a lifesaver for my family.) Hell, I've worked nights in fast food and overnights in gas stations, which are the rotting pit of all service. I've cleaned up items I had no idea what they once were and things that should be considered biohazard.
Guess what? I'd still never consider charging someone for a restroom. If someone makes an especially heinous mess and the customer behind them complains, I'd call the police. I did that, twice, while working in a gas station. I won't get into specifics but a mess was made, customer behind them complained, I saw it, I called the police and gave license info. In most places the charge is vandalism.
I've also worked in places where only customers could use the restrooms. They were actually left in worse shape.
