The bathroom thing is ONLY in big cities, probably because of tourism

The toilet thing is partly to pay for the pepole who clean it, but in bigger cities like Stockholm it's also to keep dr*g users/homeless out (or at least that's what's said about it).

Systembolaget is to protect public health. People drinking less = less problems for society and better public health. We don’t need to be able to buy alcohol everywhere at any hour.

Everything being paper is crazy too, like straws, cups, lids. And the speed limits. The fastest you can drive here is like 70mph or 110kmp

I feel like this is never talked about: It's illegal to put dogs in crates at home here, not even for a minute. I've seen many Americans that "crate train" and so on. I'm shocked about this

Pro tip for the public restrooms. In Stockholm there are GREAT free toilets on the top floor of the store NK. You can also sneak into the espresso house in Gamla stan. It's still annoying af tho

The free toilets are usually the more disgusting ones, so I’d rather pay 10kr for a clean toilet

sweden had a very bad problem with alcohol in the past, systembolaget was created to manage the alcohol intake and also to not expose children to the buying of alcohol at a young age.

Recycling is not only in Sweden. Almost every country in Europe recycle their garbage and so should also the US. 🙏

It's only in the big cities that you have to pay for the bathrooms, I've never had to pay for a bathroom in my life. And systembolaget is just to have a safer alcohol culture

you are paying for the toilet to keep the homeless out it's anti-human architecture to attack the poor and desperate

micke978 :
Paying for public bathrooms also limit the number of users and keep away people who only needs to steal some paper which lowers the need for maintenance. It’s about keeping down manpower.
