This is the kind of thing that could only be successful in a place like America where the privacy walls aren’t properly designed because somehow it’s cheaper that way.
It is not about it being cheaper. US bathrooms are literally designed to be hostile to keep people from loitering.
I bet someone working there installed them themselves, not management or owners.
That’s nice, I guess. Not as nice as a proper door and walls, but still.
I like the stalls with the privacy gaps more. I’ve been in too many European bathrooms that are damp and smell like shit due to inadequate ventilation.
But it’s usually open at the top or there’s a ventilator of sorts, always one of the 2. Come to think of it, it’s probably a requirement.
I’ve been in enough to see that there isn’t much air movement at all, usually made worse as there is a door to the stall with an undersized louver or no louver at all.
It may be a code requirement now, but I’ve seen a lot of places where it either isn’t working or isn’t there.
Why doors? Have it open. Why in a room? Have it open. Why a specific place have it open!
You want to shit on the street?
And we’ve all been in stinking, poorly kept stalls. They’re kind of separate issues.
I’ve found the quality of stalls in the USA is far better than Europe in public places, especially when it comes to smell and moisture.
I’ve never been to the US so I don’t know if you’re downvoted because of the sentiment or because you’re actually wrong, so I’ll just stay out of this
Based on my and other responses, you can see that a lot of public restrooms have more open stalls, many of which have thin vertical gaps which people can see through if they look hard enough. The stalls also doing go up to the roof and fully down to the floor. Recently, some stalls have additional pieces of metal to cover the vertical gaps, but the gaps at the roof and floor aren’t covered.
You’ll be out of the sight line for pooping, but it isn’t fully private and there is nothing stopping others from hearing what you’re doing. A lot of people have a visceral reaction to that.
This is outrageous. How can you make friends like this? You people are animals.
My work in USA installed these !
how the hell do you not asphyxiate from the gas buildup?
What does the toilet room at your home look like? Does it also have vertical door gaps?
no, it’s got a fan and a vent!
lol what a silly fucking question
Which public toilet stalls (in my experience) have, so why would this stink?
each public toilet stall where you live has it’s own ventilation? in the stall?
pft
sure bud.
They usually do, yeah. Just a small whirring fan
no one cares shitbag
No more long toilet paper streamers!

What part of not the USA is this?
Stink gaskets.
I like to stick my finger through the gap and ask the passerby to pull my finger, it’s the only way to release the gas.
How many of you have ever peeked thru the gap to see something?
