Everyone goes in the same bathroom. They wash their hands at the same sink. But -- and here's the kicker -- the stalls have doors and are private. Not like at a restaurant, but large, twenty or thirty stall restrooms In my experience, it's mostly North Americans that have stalls that anyone can peek through the sides of the doors. Why build two sets of things when one set will do?
I realize that the OP specifically excludes non-private stalls. However, I think that the reason we don't have them is that Americans are too prudish and are afraid someone might do something "bad" in the stall. I don't care what people do in the bathroom stall, but we live in a country where people are obsessed with what people do in their own bedrooms, so what do I know?
