Flush, an app launching at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, lets business owners charge customers up to $10 to use the bathroom.

Coffee shops would do well to charge less than the cheapest item on the menu.

And building new entrances exclusively for washrooms? Now you have fresh capex.

All apps like this point to is the lack of public infrastructure, which always has the excuse of “people will fuck it up.” Wonder if that’s a structural societal problem instead of individuals. (/s)

Ah yes, the classic “paying nothing to sustain and support a service, then declaring it hopeless because ‘the poors fucked it up’.”
