Is there a fee for public toilets in the United States?

In myrtle Beach, SC, I had to have a dime to open the bathroom door at the gas station.

the owner there might have been European

no, that's very unusual. walk into any coffee shop, store, church, office, gas station, anywhere, and there will be a restroom available that you can use for free

美国基本上所有的公共厕所都是免费的, 而且绝大部分也设施设备齐全, 不过也有些店铺啥的要求你先买点东西然后才能用他们店里的厕所, 这么做为了防止个别群体在里面吸毒破坏东西. 另外一个问题就是虽然这边是免费使用, 不过卫生方面就不好说了, 尤其那些荒郊野外鸟不拉屎的地方的公厕, 味道太爽了

No, and it shows.

Rest stops on the highway but outside of those most are private businesses that have bathrooms for customers.

In California, many places make you buy something to use the bathroom

No

There are fees owning your own home, restrooms are usually "free"

No, but we do have non-open-to-the-public type bathrooms that are only for staff who work there.

Yes, in some places. Or some places won't let you use the public toilets at all.
