An idea from Snacks & demonskeith. When you have to go to the bathroom & you pick a gas station or restaurant, do you feel obligated to buy something? Some people may just buy a coffee or candy bar, feeling "weird" not purchasing something. I used to be that way but now I don't feel the need. What is your opinion? No right or wrong

I don't unless there's a sign that says it's for customers only.

Funny story:
My ex girlfriend who lived in White Cloud, Michigan had a mobile home and her toilet wouldn't flush and I was visiting for about a week.
I remember driving to this local corner store every morning to take a dump in their bathroom and I would always buy some donuts and coffee when I came out so they really couldn't say anything about it.
I just remember finding that funny at the time! 😄

I tried once and a raccoon or possum hissed at me when I dropped my drawers! 😂

A coffee. Lottery tickets. Some people like to buy something small. Helps the business out too.

I'd buy something small, like a coffee. And, yeah, I have bought scratch-off tickets before, too

If it's a gas station, then we're most likely buying gas anyway. Some of the fast food restaurants require a purchase, but I've snuck in and out a few times when there is a crowd and got away with it.

I wouldn't be swayed to buy anything, I get it's a money thing, but I think we've all been in situations when we need to go and using the surrounding area just isn't an option.

Some you can go in the back entrance & the bathrooms are right there.
