This is causing quite a stir in Australia, a MacDonalds there making people buy something before giving them the code to enter a toilet:

It had been a bit of a culture shock for me as an Australian when I went to Europe the very first time to have to pay each time I used a toilet. It still feels a bit weird having to pay something like 50 Stotinki (about 25c Euro) to enter a toilet there.
Question is, should we have to pay for something like that which is an absolutely necessity for "civilised" people? For what reasons, if any?
What are the traditions in your part of the world regarding paying to use the toilet? How much are you paying, if anything at all?
Do you have to pay regardless of whether you are someone eating at a restaurant or not? Are public toilets free or not?
Does paying for a toilet actually guarantee that you get clean facilities?
