In Patras, the toilet in the church of St. Andrew became paid. The opinions of the parishioners were divided.
The entrance to the toilet is now blocked by a rotating turnstile, which is activated by tossing a 50-cent coin. The church cantor Αγίου Ανδρέα Spyros Skiadaresis explains:
“It makes sense that the public should be charged a minimum fee for using the toilet, since the temple has a janitor who keeps it clean and the bathroom is open all the time.”
Some parishioners commented negatively on the event, but others reacted with understanding, noting that such a system exists throughout Europe, because toilets have their own costs, informs newsbeast.gr.
