Yes, in the US one has free access to filthy toilets, without toilet paper, with walls covered in sexual messaging, with minimal privacy, and often without well-kitted handicapped facilities. In Europe one pays €1 for clean, fresh-smelling, places with enclosed, secure stalls, and with alarms/hoists/automated handicapped facilities, and baby-changing tables in both male and female toilets.
Except for in England where the council charges you but they just keep the money and leave the toilets all grim...look at Pontefract town centre for example lmao
In Scotland, it's actually illegal to refuse someone to use the bathroom. It's also manditory for every business to refill your water bottle if you ask them to
You do NOT have to pay in restaurants and cafes when you’re a customer. The coffee shop I go to does NOT have to pay for tap water. The things described in the video do NOT apply to every European country.
Yeah same for me, if you ask for water, you get a free glass bottle with water and you need to specify if you want water from some brand or sparkling water which are on the menu. Which is the same in the US. Idk what he was on about.
Proving the point you can't generalise Europe to a single culture. Wherever these guys went, what they experienced was that country's culture. There's no such thing as European culture.

if you go to a restaurant or cafe, you are expected to be a customer to use the toilet (at least here in Italy) and buy something. Entering the place, using the toilet and leaving is NOT an option, very rude!
@@atorthefightingeagle9813I think it is rare throughout the UK to have to pay to use public toilets. You used to have to pay 20p in railway stations in London and the South East but that seemed to stop about 5-10 years ago. Public toilets on trainshave never charged. None of the local authority toilets in our area in the South East of England charge for admission. I have seen the new automated ones with sliding doors ppsitioned directly on the street which charge. Charging on continental Europe seems far more prevalent and you might see an attendant collecting the entrance fee, something you would never see in the UK (not least because there is no full-time attendant).
Some public toilets are owned and managed by the local authority. Traditionally users were charged one penny to use the facilities to help pay for the upkeep. Toilets in restaurants, shops, cafes, sports venues etc are free to use. Unfortunately some public toilets have been vandalised and abused, being places where certain illegal or unacceptable activities take place, so tend to be locked up at might
Cigarettes are NOT fashionable in the UK. Same reaction as USA. Smoke outside the premises or leave. Even a lot of British homes, smoking is done outside if you're a smoker, there is less tolerance toward smokers.
Same in Sweden. This video is mostly about a few central European countries, and generalises a lot! They should mention the countries they actually use as examples, it's at best 5, certainly not like 40. Sounds like we all are the same and they are such experts. Obviously only countries with euros also. Cringy.
Before reading, I just want to say that I know tyler wont read this, so this comment is pointless, but watching tyler just accept what these people say without any critical thinking is actually insane, also he has a google tab one click away, he could literally just look these things hes confused about up during the video. -No way you actually think you have to pay to go to a toilet in a shop. You have to pay to use public toilets, ones that are just maintained by the local council. You can go into pretty much any large shop or restaurant to use the toilet for free. -TAP WATER is free, anywhere that serves food is legally obliged to provide tap water for free. Just say you want tap water and they wont charge you. In the US you get bottled water for free due to the fact US tap water is dirtier than a 15th century peasant. -In the UK at least, if you ask for water you get still water by default. -There are dozens of sports across Europe that are large events, much more than the American big 5 leagues. Football (all the way from the premier league to non league/amateur clubs), rugby union, rugby league, cricket, basketball etc. -That Coke isn't a standard size, standard coke is 330ml cans, however, in the UK due to sugar tax some companies are choosing to provide smaller servings for the same price, rather than having to increase their prices. -Ketchup is free is literally every place I've ever eaten food in the UK and across Europe. -Smoking IS NOT fashionable or cool in Europe. People smoke more regularly across Europe than the US, but its more habit than trying to be 'cool'. -You get money back when you recycle but they increase the price when you buy the object to balance that out. For example a $2 bottle of coke might cost $2.20 but you get 20 cents back when you recycle the bottle. -Not sure about mainland Europe, but in the UK there are few bins in public due to 9/11 and 7/7 terrorist attacks, bins were seen as an ideal place to put a bomb at a quiet time and leave it until a busy part of the day. Also you can just carry your rubbish until you get home or to a business that will have a bin. -If your food is out in 5 minutes then its not fresh, European people like to have food that hasn't been in the freezer for 3 months and isn't full of preservatives, unlike americans. I made this one long comment, rather than splitting it up so it counts as less interaction in the YT stats and doesn't boost this video as much.
Accurate, but indeed UK, Japan and the US were only ones to go crazy with removing garbage bins to avoid bombs. That is so freaking pointless and causing a massive problem, for absolutely no gain, for reasoning that everyone knows is full or errors
Many of those things may be true for the UK, but in many European countries it's different. Charging for money for a toilet in a shop is quite common, nobody orders tap water, you need to specify if you want sparkling or still water, ketchup isn't free etc.
They used to have pay toilets in Canada years ago. You'd often see that someone had written on the walls, "Here I am brokenhearted. Paid a dime and only ______." 😒
The unfortunate thing for Canadians is that because your standard accent (yes, I'm aware that there are regional accents too...I was blown away when I went to Newfoundland as they sound more Irish than Canadian!) is so similar to a standard American accent, it's easy to assume you're American. Most of us are well aware that you're more worldly than your neighbours across the border! But isn't it pushing it a little to say that "a lot" of Canadians speak five languages?! 🤔😁
@@andybaker2456 I'm glad to hear we're thought of as 'more worldly' (worldly, smarter - all the same)! Yes, it's beyond unfortunate to constantly be mistaken for our neighbours but hopefully as soon we converse about the world it's evident.🇨🇦 . If you listen closely there is no one Canadian accent.. but regardless of the nuances they are all mistaken for American because that's what comes to mind when other countries think of English-speaking N.A.(Yes, Newfoundland has its own unique accent that surprises many.)
In the UK the rule is take your trash home if you don't see a bin. Street names are often on buildings. Europeans take as much time as they like to eat.
Tyler lives in Indiana. He knows nothing about the rest of the country. His knowledge of his own country is so bad, I think most people would be amazed at how dumb he is. His comments on LA being a place with good public transit are false. LA is stereotypically the city that North Americans cite as being a place where you need a car. It's actually a trope. "Nobody walks in LA." I would be surprised if he could locate LA on a map.
Gotta say, I use toilet, loo and bathroom interchangeably, but would hardly ever say lavatory. Also lavatory means 'the washing / cleaning room', so is technically the same as saying bathroom.
@@diarmuidkuhle8181 BRITISH BRITAIN a flush toilet: "she flushed the lavatory" · "I needed to go to the lavatory" NORTH AMERICAN a sink or washbasin in a bathroom or toilet. Two nations divided by a language!
Well, we have to pay for clean toilets with real doors that gives us privacy, but at least we get a free ambulance and hospital treatment if we get a stroke. I live in Oslo, and I don’t even have a drivers license, and I get by. It’s unusual to see a car that is NOT electric. Smoking is not factional in Europe (I don’t know about France though 😂). And lastly; Americans have to remember that Europe is not a country! With 46 countries, the culture can vary a lot.
Something you need to understand as an American - the cash Coins going into the Bathroom Cubicle go to the Unit Provider for 'Maintenance' duty such as regular Cleaning. Not to the Store it's in. Fact.
When I was a kid, in the 1970's there was a major recycling culture going on. Milk deliveries in glass bottles to your doorstep and empty bottles were left for the milkman to take back. Also, fizzy drink bottles (Sodas) were also Glass and when you returned bottles to shop sellers you got cash for returning them, as there was a tax called deposit on every bottle that was claimed back. Me and my friends used to go around town finding abandoned bottles, taking them to shops and making money! Never needed to ask parents for pocket money!
The supermarkets killed that off. They did not want their check outs clogged with returns, so no deposit. Without returns glass was not cost effective.
I have two scars, one on my face and one on my knee, due to 1970s glass "recycling". The reality is that some bottles were recycled and many were discarded and broken glass was very common everywhere in urban environments. Particularly bad for kids as it was often discarded in play areas. Nowadays those same places have plastic bottles lying around which is not good but doesn't injure people (wildlife might be different).
@@jonathanwetherell3609 Of course but also people used to accidentally break glass bottles. Including milkmen who were common at the time. Not something you can easily pick up and carry to a litter bin, especially if you're in an area where they are few and far between.
@@damonx6109 exactly. (The comments on here are far more entertaining especially from those who realize it.. they don't seem to have figured him out on the Canada channel and the comments are far too polite.. 🇨🇦😄)
Depends where in Europe you are, in the UK you don't have to pay at every public toilet only council run usually, here in South Wales it's 30p. But you can go to local supermarket like Tesco and go free etc. The money goes towards maintenance and cleaning of them. Bottle water you pay but tap water is free. Ketchup isn't just in jars, we also have sachets aswell & little plastic dishes too. Joy smoking you can do in the UK is outside, not allowed inside any public place not even pubs you have to go outside.
Here in AUSTRALIA we recycle bottles for 10c and becoming more popular everyday to do this ,we also have 3 or 4 recycling bins to separate for plastic , paper steel etc and one for general waste and material and one for Green grass branches etc and very common to have this and taken away weekly by and automated truck meaning the driver hooks onto the bin to throw into the truck and we PAY RATES FOR PROVIDING THIS Rubbish is not thrown on public streets and is frowned upon there are bins everywhere and yes we have 2 flush’s buttons for long and short flush’s that’s very common in all houses and we spend 2-3 hrs in a restaurant it’s a social time for us , and we eat Al Fresco and when we book a restaurant we ask for outside or inside and it’s usually in a green environment trees plants etc and we can ask for tap water as it’s quite safe to drink which is free and compulsory to serve it ‘s and given to you automatically when you sit down or on a counter to go to to take to your table , and we have depending on your job 5-6 week holiday plus public holidays BUT YOU NEED A CAR IF YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY ,city transport is ok and Going to the toilet there are toilets freely provided Yes America is way behind the times ? But you don’t realise it as your told America is the best But you don’t go outside America to find out the difference 🤷♀️
Public bathrooms in gas/train stations and shops you indeed have to pay (€1,00) to use it. That way you keep them clean and fully stocked. In gas stations you get a voucher to spend €0,50 for free in the shop. Bathrooms in restaurants are free. Cans are usually 330 ml (11,16 fl oz) In Europe the concept of college shirts is not known. That is typical US. In the Netherlands English is mandatory in school as foreign language, next to that you can also choose French, German and in some schools also Spanish. Europe is much, much more environmentally conscious than the US. The smaller sink is because they have to fit in a smaller toilet room. It is not expected to spent 3 hours in a restaurant but you can. If you want to spent less time it is possible. We Europeans we see eating in a restaurant as an outing not a quick meal therefore you can go to a fastfood restaurant.
There are 50 countries in Europe, but only 44 of them have their capital city on the European continent. The largest country in Europe is Russia, followed by Ukraine and France. The smallest country in Europe is Vatican City, which is only about 0.44 square kilometers (0.17 square miles) in
Over here dinner is not just a necessity but much more of a social gathering, with family and/or friends. So we take our time to hang out with them.

The last shot, the Halászbástya in Budapest, I love my second home town ...
Also, about being used to old stuff Yeah, we are haha. The village i live in got founded by the roman legion 2000 years ago, and there is still castle from the albigean crusade time ( from the year 1209-1229 )
Well, England is technically in Europe, so technically some of Europe play cricket. And globally, cricket is also played by all/most commonwealth countrys. Aslo the minority of Europe are associate members of the international cricket Council.
A standard coke or can of pop in the UK is 330mls. Ketchup and sauces ARE included in price of meal. Like hotel toiletries, customers nick them and take them home. As for sports, they're a massive deal in Europe. This video producer clearly knows nothing of Wimbledon tennis, cricket test matches, big horse race meetings like Ascot and Aintree, rugby, snoojer, darts, golf, cycling etc etc.
Somewheŕe like a station or maybe toilets in a public park might have a turnstile where you need to pay to get in. But shops that offer toilets for customers usually do so for free. In department stores and large supermarkets there are usually customer toilets. However, smaller shops may only have toilets for their staff use. Disabled people may be able to get a "Just can't wait" card to show shop owners who might then let them use staff toilets.
Europe is not Disneyland Land. I see Americans here on UA-cam all the time with their mouths hanging open when they watch videos about Europe. It must be a genetic predisposition that all Americans love castles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. What is better? One euro for a clean public toilet or hundreds for a visit to the doctor. In Resorants the toilet costs nothing anyway. There are no refills, but there are waitresses who work very professionally and are paid quite well. And yes, they also get four weeks of paid vacation. And I still always tip. America is not behind the times, but flushing toilets existed in Europe long before America (Knossos, 7th millennium BC). And isn't Europe also the history of America? Or does your history only begin in 1497? Greetings from the Black Forest.
As a resident of a northen eu country the things about smokes,toilets,water,condiments and sports are pure bs him being to 197 countrys and still dont understanding is just baffling to see.
The guy who made the video is absolutely clueless. Probably went to one spot in one European country for 3 days and then figured himself a expert. The observation about sports events is SO wrong. And just like things can be very different from state to state in the USA so it is in Europe.
Exactly! Do they really think all of the following places live the same? Austria, Belgium, Bosnia Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (to name a few) People use Europe as a sweeping statement and it drives me crazy. Like when people say I'm going to Europe. O really? Wow thats a lot of travelling! I live in England and tap water in restraunts are free, as is ketchup. Not all places charge to use the toilet, mainly big cities, smoking isn't seen as cool or sophisticated, English people don't generally speak more than 1 language fluently, maybe a 2nd language taught at school
All this kinda depends. Here in Nordics, tap water is free. And nobody minds if you use the bathroom in some store/restaurant, that said, sometimes door is opened with code that's on receipt or some other method that only allows customers, it all really depends on business. Overall, if they get frustrated with people using their bathroom, they are just going to get some control mechanism instead of actually stopping people. Shopping centers and big stores though pretty much always have free bathroom. There are some random public bathrooms, and those are paid. Overall, there's always place to go, never actually been to public bathroom, since if there isn't free access, I'm just going to buy something cheap in some business and get access that way. For me, some of Europe is kinda insane with the bottled water. Not to mention it's just extra waste. So you are not alone ;D
Here in Canada when you get hired you start getting vacation pay from your employer on your paycheck 4% of your Gross Pay which goes into your vacation pay account. After 1 year you get 14 paid vacation days which are your days of work not days off. From 1 to 4 years you get 14 paid vacation days. 5 to 9 years your Employer pays you 6% vacation pay of your Gross Pay and you get 21 days paid vacation. 10 years to 14 years with your Employer you get 28 paid vacation days and 8% vacation pay of your Gross Pay. 15 to 19 years with your Employer you get 10% vacation pay paid by your Employer of your Gross Pay and 35 paid vacation days. 20 years and up with your Employer you get 12% vacation pay from your Employer of your Gross Pay and 42 paid vacation days. You must use all your vacation time within the year. Not allowed to be carried over. The Government of Canada 🇨🇦 makes it Mandatory that all Employers must pay any vacation pay to there Employees on the first or last paycheck of December.
The reason bottled water is given instead of tap water is because our tap water is disgusting because of the gross old pipes. Most of us prefer to drink mineral water because it comes from a mountain spring so it is more pure. We have recycling bins in every house in the UK.
Maybe if you live in a house with ancient lead piping. But on average the tap water is very good quality, certainly when compared to the US, and levels of pollutants are strictly monitored.
Tyler ,we can go in public Houses (pubs) if of age and other places to use a toilet ,without a charge .. However we also have a lot of public toilets ,all around a country... The payment isn't for just using the toilet... but to clean and maintain and clear up vandalism too..
I'm Canadian, and even though I simply cross an imaginary line on the map... the bathroom situation in the US is disgusting. I remember being a kid in Florida and walking into a bathroom at a Popeyes Chicken.. There was feces smeared all over the walls. My mom went to one of the employees restaurant and told her about it... Her response... "Yeah, we know. Would you like fries with that?"
it's NOT the government, who is paying those 25 ct back, when you recycle a bottle. you have to pay those 25 ct in advance when you purchase your bottled drinks and you just get them back when you bring the bottle back to the market
To be honest, you do not pay to use the bathroom, you give a small amount towards paying someone to provide a CLEAN bathroom that you actually can stand to be in… In America, you pay servers 20% of what you paid for the meal and call it tip, making yourself believe it is a generous gesture while you are providing their minimum wage (or not), we straightforwardly pay a miniscule amount towards the person cleaning up after you (which no one, in public rooms really does themselves or do a sloppy job that may not appeal to everyone’s standards)… Potatoes - potatos….
the second point, about the water is UTTER bollocks! If you specify tap water (at least in the UK) it is free and perfectly safe. It is assumed that when you order water, unless you specify 'tap' you are ordering MINERAL water which is a bottled product.
Some toilets you pay for but some are still free. It depends on where you are and if the local council can afford free toilets. More important is over the years there are less and less public toilets. If you're in a private restaurant then it is more likely to be free.
Plenty of American restaurants have the option of still or sparkling (often referred to as seltzer) water. As usual in the videos he's reacting too there's about 50% truth and 50% "I once saw this so it must be the same everywhere" in them.
If you in a restaurant or supermarket/store then you generally dont pay for the toilet. if it in a public place you sometimes have to pay, but where I live down in Folkestone its generally free
Where I live in Australia I get 13 public holidays a year, 2 weeks sick leave a year, up to 5 weeks annual leave with a 17.5% leave loading on top, maternity/parental leave I think is about 6 months
Only some publicly funded toilets are pay to use (to fund the upkeep), toilets connected to businesses and shopping centers etc are free. I have prolly used a toilet that requires payment less than 10 times in 40+ years living in Europe
If you‘re just out to dinner with a friend it can be done in 90+ minutes or so. But if you‘re out with a lot of family it can turn into a long night. 3 hours is not impossible. Me and some DM friends met up at a bar/restaurant and we stayed there for about 12 hours. But they loved us. We ended up spending 500 dollars in there, so i dont think they complained about anything. 😊
It depends on the country for sure! In Sweden we recycle, portion sizes are small, you don’t NEED a car, and we pay for toilets, but most of these things are not accurate at all. Smoking is slightly frowned upon, sport is popular, water is free, dinner is in the early evening/late afternoon, coins…what are coins?… All of these things are true for some European countries, none of them are true for all
I'm 54 and don't have a car, in fact I don't even have a driver's license. I don't need it and travel all over Europe it is even cheaper than having a car (tax, inspection, petrol and maintenance).
I am 80 and never driven a car ever . I have never needed to. Think about drink driving , think about going from A to B , you have to get back to B to collect the car !

Yeah but they dont have to pay for there medical bills though so 25 cents is nothing really but they didn't used to pay to use the rest room I've seen this happen over the last 10 years..
Thank you for your reaction. We have mostly 5 weeks of paid holidays (vacation days) + 14 days of paid national public holidays per year in Czechia (Czech Republic). I would also included Public Healthcare systems into the list. Because it is usual in Europe too. 🙂👍🏻

It always amuses me that Americans group all the countries of Europe as if they were all just one country and yet go to great lengths to say that the 50 States of the US are all completely different, e.g., Montana to New York or Alaska to Florida etc. I though the clue was in the name - UNITED STATES of America. ☘☘☘
Toilets in establishments are always free, at least in my experience, which is mostly in the UK, Germany and France. Pay toilets are only in public areas like town centres, train stations, etc. Water is free if you request tap water. Bottled water costs money, just like it does in the US. The difference is that European restaurants will default to bottled water, whereas in the US they automatically bring you free tap water. I’m sure I’ve seen Tyler react to the two-button flush system in another video, so it’s starting to get a little dull how little he learns from all the videos he watches - the same goes for the vacation time Europeans get compared to Americans. If I see him surprised at the difference between US pudding and the fact that it means any dessert in the UK, or about the fact that pies in the UK, and around Europe, can have meat in them, I may have to consider only watching them on double-speed for the sake of my blood pressure!
Never had a car (or a driving licence) and I also work in shifts, I'm 56 and up to now, living in a city (Milan) I survived very well 😁 p.s. You wouldn't starve in Europe... you would have a starter AND an entree, while when we are in the USA we just have an entree... and we share it in two portions :)
Baffled he never heard the term still water. Where I am in Canada all public bins are divided between garbage and recycling and the recycling is often further divided into paper and other. Everyone returns their empty beer cans/bottles because they get $ back to recycle them. Each home has a garbage, a recycle and a green (compost) bin to be left near the street on scheduled pickup days. I wonder if not having a recycling program is just where Tyler is. America is definitely behind with a LOT of things but with regards to money, still using one-coloured notes made of paper and no coins of significant value. Maybe if they switched to indestructible polymer and replaced dollar bills with coins they could finance universal healthcare. (I've seen toilets in private homes with 2 buttons.. simple concept - how is it so shocking?)
Paying to use the bathroom is ONLY for PUBLIC toilets, if you go into a shopping centre with loos its free, a pub might let you use the loo, but they normally ask you to buy something. This guy must eat at some fancy cafes, we have free water and ketchup in the UK. I haven't seen a jar of ketchup like the one he showed.
The 'pay to use' toilets he is talking about are ones either on streets, in large public areas such as rail stations and maybe the odd shopping mall (thought that is rare). Not toilets in cafe's, restuarants or stores. Here in the UK we could be better at public recycling but are good when it comes to home produced rubbish. The minimum by law in the UK for a full time employee is 20 days holiday plus 8 days public holidays. Over the last few years some terrible American practices have been creeping in and it need to be stopped. When Walmart purchased our supermarket chain ASDA they tried to impliment such rules etc. and were met with stiff oppostion and employment laws that they fell foul of legaly. They eventually gave up fighting and sold the supermarket chain on. We do have a horrible thing called 'zero hours' contracts which are normally for the really low paid sectors like home care workers etc. This is very exploitive of the worker and needs to be made unlawful. The ketchup not on the table tends to be with fancier restuarants were you would ask for any condiments of your choice (with that posh jar he was in a very nice place).
Should not believe everything you see on line. 1 Public toilets mean the ones on the streets and you pay for those. Some you can even get a shower. 2. Water. You just ask for tap water with your meal and it's free.
Free Healthcare? The only ones who get 'free' healthcare are those that haven't worked for a living. Everyone else has National Insurance deducted from their wages.
Not all public toilets are " pay to use" in the UK. Usually just in " touristy" places, where the money pays to keep them clean and tidy. You can't just walk into an " establishment" and use their toilet ! Even in McDonalds and Burger King you will need to buy something in order to get a code for the toilet door. In the UK you are not given water when you sit down in a restaurant. You can ask for water. Tap water is usually free. In the UK, " tailgating" means to drive too close to the car in front of you ! The guy in this video has been getting ripped off if that's what he's being given as a " standard" coke !! I have never seen a can that small ! Ketchup comes in sachets or normal bottles depending on where you are eating. That's a JAR of ketchup in the video. Smoking n the UK is only allowed out doors. While not seen as fashionable or healthy, Eastern Europeans who have migrated here smoke like chimneys !! American toilets are overfilled with water !! You have to ASK for the bill/check. It's not left on your table.
Cricket is not popular in Europe and tends to be limited to the old British Empire. Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language, followed by Spanish and then English.
Small coke cans are unusual to find most cans of pop are 330ml. And smoking isn't cool. Everyone is just hooked on tobacco. They have banned cigarettes in all public buildings.
I always find it kinda weird that some people go to restaurant to drink water xD I drink water at home, I go to restaurant to drink a beer or soda or whatever they offer that isn't just water.
Tap water is free in restaurants comes in jug with ice and lemon, public toilets are 40 pence or in USA 50 cent but most of time you can squeeze through turnstile 😂 yes you can survive without a car, public transportation is better have buses, trains and trams and we can take train to Paris and then all around Europe from uk 🇬🇧
Alas, it doesn't WANT to influence and police the world, it actually DOES. Thus other places learn English and not the other way around. The UK also has low second language skills compared to countries in continental Europe.
The guy Tyler reacted to made me so mad. He's literally clueless. I think he went to the poshest place and was charged for ketchup and thought that was standard. It isn't. Most places have free ketchup. If you want tap water ask for tap water and you will get it. Most places would give you mineral water which is the bottled water because they can charge for it but if you say I want tap water they will give u it. Being charged for toilets isn't everywhere. Mainly in big cities to pay for toilet cleaners and keep out druggies who want to do heroin in there. We are crazy about sport and many families take their kids to football or cricket or rugby together. This dude Tyler is watching hasnt got a clue
1 euro is expensive to me. Thats 6 toilet trips here. You pay at the airport and the train Station,not in a nightclub. And that gives you a certain assurance that its gonna be nice in there. Mind you, the nicest toilet was in a nightclub and i didnt have to pay. But that was dead nice in there. I hate ugly toilets. 😊 Cars was a thing the over 30s had in the 80s and 90s. But its changed a bit now, some do have a car before 30 these days. But i lived in small towns and thats rhe same now most places i lived in Denmark had 2-3 shops and that was the town. This one has about 12 so not too bad. But nowhere did you really need a car. Theres busses to cities in one direction and trains to the ones in the other direction,so unless your in the midst of moving house you dont really need it. Its only when getting new furniture and tvs i miss a car..
And no that Coke is a joke..never seen it anywhere in Europe. We have the normal can everywhere. And that goes for at least 5 countries that ive gone to on a regular basis. But our meals are smaller. Like from what ive seen a medium Milkshake in the US can be bigger than the biggest one we sell here. Also they keep changing the Milkshake here. They used to be like MacDs everywhere. Now it seems theres some weird trend where whipped cream and chocolate bits and all kinds of fancy crap goes in them. So ots hard to get a Standard shake without all that wank in it. So where i live you cant get a shake i like in the whole town. You need to take a train ride to find one. And you might find they do the same shit in all towns. MacD and BK seems to be the only places they have a Milkshake thats not awful..
This guy (you are reacting to), is the typical example of a stereotypical American. 1, Water is free in many places, just ask for tap water. If you don't ask they sell you a bottle, how weird in a business. 2, Many toilets are free except not in the places where you don't contribute to the business (petrol stations, tourist stuff and public (as in out in the wild) restrooms) again, it's a business. 3, Those coke cans are called minis here.... the normal cans are 330ml just like yours. 4, ketchup in a glas cup, sure, In some fancy places they might, just like in a fancy hotel in the USA. but when im asking in my McD for ketchup, its going to be free, and in those plastic bags. Prolly more but im giving up. The point im trying to make, just coz he was in 1 place in Europe doesn't mean he knows fck all.
Drew has actually been to every country in the world. He needs to dumb down his videos to make them more accessible to dumb Americans. People like Tyler would never understand a video on Slovenia (or even click on it.) This video was shit. He also did a terrible video on the differences between Canada and the US. He does vids for dumb Americans but he also does videos for travelers, and the latter are actually pretty good.
Yes, in the US one has free access to filthy toilets, without toilet paper, with walls covered in sexual messaging, with minimal privacy, and often without well-kitted handicapped facilities. In Europe one pays €1 for clean, fresh-smelling, places with enclosed, secure stalls, and with alarms/hoists/automated handicapped facilities, and baby-changing tables in both male and female toilets.
Except for in England where the council charges you but they just keep the money and leave the toilets all grim...look at Pontefract town centre for example lmao
In Scotland, it's actually illegal to refuse someone to use the bathroom. It's also manditory for every business to refill your water bottle if you ask them to
You do NOT have to pay in restaurants and cafes when you’re a customer. The coffee shop I go to does NOT have to pay for tap water. The things described in the video do NOT apply to every European country.
Yeah same for me, if you ask for water, you get a free glass bottle with water and you need to specify if you want water from some brand or sparkling water which are on the menu. Which is the same in the US. Idk what he was on about.
That’s where the phrase “spend a penny” came from
Although back then it was more accurate 😂
Yes, Tyler, we spend a whole evening having an evening meal!
Tyler - Please, READ THE COMMENTS!!
Even if he read them, he would forget the info immediately.
Water IS Free, you have to specify by ordering TAP Water, there may be a work around where they charge for service instead
Here in Czechia TAP water is not served in most restaurants. Usualy they bring you a paid bottled sparkling or still water.
@@PHJcz here in Italy I don't even think it's legal to serve tap water at a restaurant...
Here in Norway, free tapwater is more or less the norrm.
no, you hardly get tap water in germany. most of them won*t serve that to you and you HAVE TO PAY for water
Proving the point you can't generalise Europe to a single culture. Wherever these guys went, what they experienced was that country's culture.
There's no such thing as European culture.
In UK, paying to use toilets tend to be at central city train stations like London and/or at major touristy spots
Yeah, I was just thinking the only time I've ever paid was at a train station
Don't confuse Tyler ,he thinks London is the uk 😂😂😂😂😂

you don't have to pay in a restaurant or cafe to use the toilets... it public toilets in the street you have to pay for
Or a supermarket or a store. It's LITERALLY just for PUBLIC toilets in the streets as a deterrent to vandals.
if you go to a restaurant or cafe, you are expected to be a customer to use the toilet (at least here in Italy) and buy something. Entering the place, using the toilet and leaving is NOT an option, very rude!
@@atorthefightingeagle9813 In many European countries you have to pay for using a toilet in a store.
@@atorthefightingeagle9813I think it is rare throughout the UK to have to pay to use public toilets. You used to have to pay 20p in railway stations in London and the South East but that seemed to stop about 5-10 years ago. Public toilets on trainshave never charged. None of the local authority toilets in our area in the South East of England charge for admission. I have seen the new automated ones with sliding doors ppsitioned directly on the street which charge.
Charging on continental Europe seems far more prevalent and you might see an attendant collecting the entrance fee, something you would never see in the UK (not least because there is no full-time attendant).
Some public toilets are owned and managed by the local authority. Traditionally users were charged one penny to use the facilities to help pay for the upkeep. Toilets in restaurants, shops, cafes, sports venues etc are free to use. Unfortunately some public toilets have been vandalised and abused, being places where certain illegal or unacceptable activities take place, so tend to be locked up at might
Cigarettes are NOT fashionable in the UK. Same reaction as USA. Smoke outside the premises or leave.
Even a lot of British homes, smoking is done outside if you're a smoker, there is less tolerance toward smokers.
Same in Sweden. This video is mostly about a few central European countries, and generalises a lot! They should mention the countries they actually use as examples, it's at best 5, certainly not like 40. Sounds like we all are the same and they are such experts. Obviously only countries with euros also. Cringy.
I can't speak for the rest of Europe but none of these apply to the UK lol
Agree there using euros lol
Before reading, I just want to say that I know tyler wont read this, so this comment is pointless, but watching tyler just accept what these people say without any critical thinking is actually insane, also he has a google tab one click away, he could literally just look these things hes confused about up during the video.
-No way you actually think you have to pay to go to a toilet in a shop. You have to pay to use public toilets, ones that are just maintained by the local council. You can go into pretty much any large shop or restaurant to use the toilet for free.
-TAP WATER is free, anywhere that serves food is legally obliged to provide tap water for free. Just say you want tap water and they wont charge you. In the US you get bottled water for free due to the fact US tap water is dirtier than a 15th century peasant.
-In the UK at least, if you ask for water you get still water by default.
-There are dozens of sports across Europe that are large events, much more than the American big 5 leagues. Football (all the way from the premier league to non league/amateur clubs), rugby union, rugby league, cricket, basketball etc.
-That Coke isn't a standard size, standard coke is 330ml cans, however, in the UK due to sugar tax some companies are choosing to provide smaller servings for the same price, rather than having to increase their prices.
-Ketchup is free is literally every place I've ever eaten food in the UK and across Europe.
-Smoking IS NOT fashionable or cool in Europe. People smoke more regularly across Europe than the US, but its more habit than trying to be 'cool'.
-You get money back when you recycle but they increase the price when you buy the object to balance that out. For example a $2 bottle of coke might cost $2.20 but you get 20 cents back when you recycle the bottle.
-Not sure about mainland Europe, but in the UK there are few bins in public due to 9/11 and 7/7 terrorist attacks, bins were seen as an ideal place to put a bomb at a quiet time and leave it until a busy part of the day. Also you can just carry your rubbish until you get home or to a business that will have a bin.
-If your food is out in 5 minutes then its not fresh, European people like to have food that hasn't been in the freezer for 3 months and isn't full of preservatives, unlike americans.
I made this one long comment, rather than splitting it up so it counts as less interaction in the YT stats and doesn't boost this video as much.
You covered it all and saved me time, thanks
Me too. Thanks mate cos you covered it all for me too. 🙂
EXACTLY - this idiot (in the vid) got nearly EVERYTHING WRONG!! WTF??? Like U said, I really hope he does read the comments! 😳🇮🇪
Accurate, but indeed UK, Japan and the US were only ones to go crazy with removing garbage bins to avoid bombs. That is so freaking pointless and causing a massive problem, for absolutely no gain, for reasoning that everyone knows is full or errors
Many of those things may be true for the UK, but in many European countries it's different. Charging for money for a toilet in a shop is quite common, nobody orders tap water, you need to specify if you want sparkling or still water, ketchup isn't free etc.
They used to have pay toilets in Canada years ago. You'd often see that someone had written on the walls, "Here I am brokenhearted. Paid a dime and only ______." 😒
I don't remember paying in Canada, not sure when that stopped.
Tyler a lot of Canadians speak 5 languages. I speak, read, write English, Dutch, German, Spanish and Italian.
A lot, but as many as 5 common?...I can see English and French,but are others common??🤔🎩
That's impressive
The unfortunate thing for Canadians is that because your standard accent (yes, I'm aware that there are regional accents too...I was blown away when I went to Newfoundland as they sound more Irish than Canadian!) is so similar to a standard American accent, it's easy to assume you're American. Most of us are well aware that you're more worldly than your neighbours across the border! But isn't it pushing it a little to say that "a lot" of Canadians speak five languages?! 🤔😁
If Tyler read comments, his mind would explode.
@@andybaker2456 I'm glad to hear we're thought of as 'more worldly' (worldly, smarter - all the same)! Yes, it's beyond unfortunate to constantly be mistaken for our neighbours but hopefully as soon we converse about the world it's evident.🇨🇦 . If you listen closely there is no one Canadian accent.. but regardless of the nuances they are all mistaken for American because that's what comes to mind when other countries think of English-speaking N.A.(Yes, Newfoundland has its own unique accent that surprises many.)
Those little jam bottles are only seen in hotels or high end restaurants
Major British sport event is not just football. Top sports are also Rugby, Cricket, Golf, Snooker and F1 racing.
And tennis, darts, squash, and table tennis, and many many more
Showjumping, Three-Day Eventing / Cross Country (equestrian sports) Horseracing, Dressage... (etc). 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴❤️🇬🇧🙂
In the UK the rule is take your trash home if you don't see a bin. Street names are often on buildings. Europeans take as much time as they like to eat.
Water in American restaurants have "sparkling" or "still." I don't think Tyler has ever been to a restaurant other than McDonalds...
you say AMERICA so big that you need a car NO you built everything so far apart that you need a car to get there
Tyler lives in Indiana. He knows nothing about the rest of the country. His knowledge of his own country is so bad, I think most people would be amazed at how dumb he is. His comments on LA being a place with good public transit are false. LA is stereotypically the city that North Americans cite as being a place where you need a car. It's actually a trope. "Nobody walks in LA."
I would be surprised if he could locate LA on a map.
'Lavatory' is the correct term! No one I know uses a Bath for..................Lol!
Gotta say, I use toilet, loo and bathroom interchangeably, but would hardly ever say lavatory. Also lavatory means 'the washing / cleaning room', so is technically the same as saying bathroom.

The 2 buttons on the toilet is to save on water Tyler in Europe. Big one for poop. Small one for urine.
I will gladly pay a small amount to use a clean bathroom without gaps in stalls :)
Well, we have to pay for clean toilets with real doors that gives us privacy, but at least we get a free ambulance and hospital treatment if we get a stroke.
I live in Oslo, and I don’t even have a drivers license, and I get by. It’s unusual to see a car that is NOT electric.
Smoking is not factional in Europe (I don’t know about France though 😂).
And lastly; Americans have to remember that Europe is not a country! With 46 countries, the culture can vary a lot.
Something you need to understand as an American - the cash Coins going into the Bathroom Cubicle go to the Unit Provider for 'Maintenance' duty such as regular Cleaning. Not to the Store it's in. Fact.
When I was a kid, in the 1970's there was a major recycling culture going on. Milk deliveries in glass bottles to your doorstep and empty bottles were left for the milkman to take back.
Also, fizzy drink bottles (Sodas) were also Glass and when you returned bottles to shop sellers you got cash for returning them, as there was a tax called deposit on every bottle that was claimed back.
Me and my friends used to go around town finding abandoned bottles, taking them to shops and making money!
Never needed to ask parents for pocket money!
The supermarkets killed that off. They did not want their check outs clogged with returns, so no deposit. Without returns glass was not cost effective.
@@jonathanwetherell3609Yes! And 10pence for every empty bottle of Corona pop you returned.😁
I have two scars, one on my face and one on my knee, due to 1970s glass "recycling". The reality is that some bottles were recycled and many were discarded and broken glass was very common everywhere in urban environments. Particularly bad for kids as it was often discarded in play areas.
Nowadays those same places have plastic bottles lying around which is not good but doesn't injure people (wildlife might be different).
@@UnknownUser-rb9pd Glass also was a cause of wild fires. The problem is not the packaging it is the litter louts.
@@jonathanwetherell3609 Of course but also people used to accidentally break glass bottles. Including milkmen who were common at the time. Not something you can easily pick up and carry to a litter bin, especially if you're in an area where they are few and far between.

UK:we have only 1 recycling bin in most areas. The council segregates the different materials with magnets, air blasters, robots, etc.
Depends where in Europe you are, in the UK you don't have to pay at every public toilet only council run usually, here in South Wales it's 30p. But you can go to local supermarket like Tesco and go free etc. The money goes towards maintenance and cleaning of them. Bottle water you pay but tap water is free. Ketchup isn't just in jars, we also have sachets aswell & little plastic dishes too. Joy smoking you can do in the UK is outside, not allowed inside any public place not even pubs you have to go outside.
Here in AUSTRALIA we recycle bottles for 10c and becoming more popular everyday to do this ,we also have 3 or 4 recycling bins to separate for plastic , paper steel etc and one for general waste and material and one for Green grass branches etc and very common to have this and taken away weekly by and automated truck meaning the driver hooks onto the bin to throw into the truck and we PAY RATES FOR PROVIDING THIS Rubbish is not thrown on public streets and is frowned upon there are bins everywhere and yes we have 2 flush’s buttons for long and short flush’s that’s very common in all houses and we spend 2-3 hrs in a restaurant it’s a social time for us , and we eat Al Fresco and when we book a restaurant we ask for outside or inside and it’s usually in a green environment trees plants etc and we can ask for tap water as it’s quite safe to drink which is free and compulsory to serve it ‘s and given to you automatically when you sit down or on a counter to go to to take to your table , and we have depending on your job 5-6 week holiday plus public holidays BUT YOU NEED A CAR IF YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY ,city transport is ok and Going to the toilet there are toilets freely provided Yes America is way behind the times ? But you don’t realise it as your told America is the best But you don’t go outside America to find out the difference 🤷♀️
Public bathrooms in gas/train stations and shops you indeed have to pay (€1,00) to use it. That way you keep them clean and fully stocked.
In gas stations you get a voucher to spend €0,50 for free in the shop.
Bathrooms in restaurants are free.
Cans are usually 330 ml (11,16 fl oz)
In Europe the concept of college shirts is not known. That is typical US.
In the Netherlands English is mandatory in school as foreign language, next to that you can also choose French, German and in some schools also Spanish.
Europe is much, much more environmentally conscious than the US.
The smaller sink is because they have to fit in a smaller toilet room.
It is not expected to spent 3 hours in a restaurant but you can. If you want to spent less time it is possible.
We Europeans we see eating in a restaurant as an outing not a quick meal therefore you can go to a fastfood restaurant.
There are 50 countries in Europe, but only 44 of them have their capital city on the European continent. The largest country in Europe is Russia, followed by Ukraine and France. The smallest country in Europe is Vatican City, which is only about 0.44 square kilometers (0.17 square miles) in

Cricket is not played in Europe. It's British.
Well, England is technically in Europe, so technically some of Europe play cricket. And globally, cricket is also played by all/most commonwealth countrys. Aslo the minority of Europe are associate members of the international cricket Council.
Not exactly true, cricket is played in some countries in Europe, granted not a major sport but it is played none the less.
Netherlands. I'm pretty sure I've seen them playing International cricket.
A standard coke or can of pop in the UK is 330mls.
Ketchup and sauces ARE included in price of meal. Like hotel toiletries, customers nick them and take them home.
As for sports, they're a massive deal in Europe. This video producer clearly knows nothing of Wimbledon tennis, cricket test matches, big horse race meetings like Ascot and Aintree, rugby, snoojer, darts, golf, cycling etc etc.
Somewheŕe like a station or maybe toilets in a public park might have a turnstile where you need to pay to get in.
But shops that offer toilets for customers usually do so for free. In department stores and large supermarkets there are usually customer toilets.
However, smaller shops may only have toilets for their staff use. Disabled people may be able to get a "Just can't wait" card to show shop owners who might then let them use staff toilets.
In the uk, restaurants can't legally charge you for tap water, most places here won't give you bottled
I used to have 5 weeks holiday in a year plus bank holidays. In S.W. England.
Europe is not Disneyland Land.
I see Americans here on UA-cam all the time with their mouths hanging open when they watch videos about Europe. It must be a genetic predisposition that all Americans love castles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
What is better? One euro for a clean public toilet or hundreds for a visit to the doctor. In Resorants the toilet costs nothing anyway.
There are no refills, but there are waitresses who work very professionally and are paid quite well. And yes, they also get four weeks of paid vacation. And I still always tip.
America is not behind the times, but flushing toilets existed in Europe long before America (Knossos, 7th millennium BC). And isn't Europe also the history of America? Or does your history only begin in 1497?

As a resident of a northen eu country the things about smokes,toilets,water,condiments and sports are pure bs him being to 197 countrys and still dont understanding is just baffling to see.
The guy who made the video is absolutely clueless. Probably went to one spot in one European country for 3 days and then figured himself a expert. The observation about sports events is SO wrong. And just like things can be very different from state to state in the USA so it is in Europe.

I live in England and tap water in restraunts are free, as is ketchup. Not all places charge to use the toilet, mainly big cities, smoking isn't seen as cool or sophisticated, English people don't generally speak more than 1 language fluently, maybe a 2nd language taught at school
Ask for tap water, it's normally free
All this kinda depends. Here in Nordics, tap water is free. And nobody minds if you use the bathroom in some store/restaurant, that said, sometimes door is opened with code that's on receipt or some other method that only allows customers, it all really depends on business. Overall, if they get frustrated with people using their bathroom, they are just going to get some control mechanism instead of actually stopping people. Shopping centers and big stores though pretty much always have free bathroom. There are some random public bathrooms, and those are paid. Overall, there's always place to go, never actually been to public bathroom, since if there isn't free access, I'm just going to buy something cheap in some business and get access that way.
For me, some of Europe is kinda insane with the bottled water. Not to mention it's just extra waste. So you are not alone ;D
Here in Canada when you get hired you start getting vacation pay from your employer on your paycheck 4% of your Gross Pay which goes into your vacation pay account. After 1 year you get 14 paid vacation days which are your days of work not days off. From 1 to 4 years you get 14 paid vacation days.
5 to 9 years your Employer pays you 6% vacation pay of your Gross Pay and you get 21 days paid vacation.
10 years to 14 years with your Employer you get 28 paid vacation days and 8% vacation pay of your Gross Pay.
15 to 19 years with your Employer you get 10% vacation pay paid by your Employer of your Gross Pay and 35 paid vacation days.
20 years and up with your Employer you get 12% vacation pay from your Employer of your Gross Pay and 42 paid vacation days. You must use all your vacation time within the year. Not allowed to be carried over.
The Government of Canada 🇨🇦 makes it Mandatory that all Employers must pay any vacation pay to there Employees on the first or last paycheck of December.
The reason bottled water is given instead of tap water is because our tap water is disgusting because of the gross old pipes. Most of us prefer to drink mineral water because it comes from a mountain spring so it is more pure. We have recycling bins in every house in the UK.
Maybe if you live in a house with ancient lead piping. But on average the tap water is very good quality, certainly when compared to the US, and levels of pollutants are strictly monitored.
Chefs take it as an insult to them if you want to add ketchup to their food.
Tyler ,we can go in public Houses (pubs) if of age and other places to use a toilet ,without a charge ..
However we also have a lot of public toilets ,all around a country...
The payment isn't for just using the toilet... but to clean and maintain and clear up vandalism too..
I'm Canadian, and even though I simply cross an imaginary line on the map... the bathroom situation in the US is disgusting. I remember being a kid in Florida and walking into a bathroom at a Popeyes Chicken.. There was feces smeared all over the walls. My mom went to one of the employees restaurant and told her about it... Her response...
"Yeah, we know. Would you like fries with that?"
it's NOT the government, who is paying those 25 ct back, when you recycle a bottle. you have to pay those 25 ct in advance when you purchase your bottled drinks and you just get them back when you bring the bottle back to the market
We go to restaurants occasionally but we more often cook at home in what’s called a kitchen
European casual dress is just classier than the US
In Britain free toilets are a condition of a public trading permit. But shops try to deny it.
Sounds like he has only visited one country and asumed it is the same for the whole Europe
To be honest, you do not pay to use the bathroom, you give a small amount towards paying someone to provide a CLEAN bathroom that you actually can stand to be in… In America, you pay servers 20% of what you paid for the meal and call it tip, making yourself believe it is a generous gesture while you are providing their minimum wage (or not), we straightforwardly pay a miniscule amount towards the person cleaning up after you (which no one, in public rooms really does themselves or do a sloppy job that may not appeal to everyone’s standards)… Potatoes - potatos….
the second point, about the water is UTTER bollocks! If you specify tap water (at least in the UK) it is free and perfectly safe. It is assumed that when you order water, unless you specify 'tap' you are ordering MINERAL water which is a bottled product.
Some toilets you pay for but some are still free. It depends on where you are and if the local council can afford free toilets.
More important is over the years there are less and less public toilets.
If you're in a private restaurant then it is more likely to be free.
The smaller sink is not usually in houses. They save space in small bathrooms and save water
It's usually in the downstairs toilet/cloakroom due to lack of space.
Plenty of American restaurants have the option of still or sparkling (often referred to as seltzer) water. As usual in the videos he's reacting too there's about 50% truth and 50% "I once saw this so it must be the same everywhere" in them.
He thinks that people in other countries are as ignorant as he is....
When he refers to "Americans" he is referring to himself.
If you in a restaurant or supermarket/store then you generally dont pay for the toilet. if it in a public place you sometimes have to pay, but where I live down in Folkestone its generally free
Where I live in Australia I get 13 public holidays a year, 2 weeks sick leave a year, up to 5 weeks annual leave with a 17.5% leave loading on top, maternity/parental leave I think is about 6 months
as we say in the UK "you cant have a shit without paying for it"
Only some publicly funded toilets are pay to use (to fund the upkeep), toilets connected to businesses and shopping centers etc are free. I have prolly used a toilet that requires payment less than 10 times in 40+ years living in Europe
Coins in a dock can be a pretty good weapon if you need one
if you are eating out and ask for water, they will offer you bottled water. You can ask for tap water, which is free
It should be free, but I've been to a couple of places where they charged or tap water. Needless o say we didn't leave a tip!
@@Lily_The_Pink972In the U.K. it is illegal to charge for tap water.

If you‘re just out to dinner with a friend it can be done in 90+ minutes or so. But if you‘re out with a lot of family it can turn into a long night. 3 hours is not impossible. Me and some DM friends met up at a bar/restaurant and we stayed there for about 12 hours. But they loved us. We ended up spending 500 dollars in there, so i dont think they complained about anything. 😊
It depends on the country for sure! In Sweden we recycle, portion sizes are small, you don’t NEED a car, and we pay for toilets, but most of these things are not accurate at all.
Smoking is slightly frowned upon, sport is popular, water is free, dinner is in the early evening/late afternoon, coins…what are coins?…
All of these things are true for some European countries, none of them are true for all
I'm 54 and don't have a car, in fact I don't even have a driver's license. I don't need it and travel all over Europe it is even cheaper than having a car (tax, inspection, petrol and maintenance).

People use Europe as a sweeping statement and it drives me crazy. Like when people say I'm going to Europe. O really? Wow thats a lot of travelling!
I live in England and tap water in restraunts are free, as is ketchup. Not all places charge to use the toilet, mainly big cities, smoking isn't seen as cool or sophisticated, English people don't generally speak more than 1 language fluently, maybe a 2nd language taught at school
It always amuses me that Americans group all the countries of Europe as if they were all just one country and yet go to great lengths to say that the 50 States of the US are all completely different, e.g., Montana to New York or Alaska to Florida etc.
I though the clue was in the name - UNITED STATES of America. ☘☘☘
If I go out for a meal with my friends or family we can do three hours easily at it's looked at as a social event
Toilets in establishments are always free, at least in my experience, which is mostly in the UK, Germany and France. Pay toilets are only in public areas like town centres, train stations, etc.
Water is free if you request tap water. Bottled water costs money, just like it does in the US. The difference is that European restaurants will default to bottled water, whereas in the US they automatically bring you free tap water.
I’m sure I’ve seen Tyler react to the two-button flush system in another video, so it’s starting to get a little dull how little he learns from all the videos he watches - the same goes for the vacation time Europeans get compared to Americans. If I see him surprised at the difference between US pudding and the fact that it means any dessert in the UK, or about the fact that pies in the UK, and around Europe, can have meat in them, I may have to consider only watching them on double-speed for the sake of my blood pressure!
Never had a car (or a driving licence) and I also work in shifts, I'm 56 and up to now, living in a city (Milan) I survived very well 😁
p.s. You wouldn't starve in Europe... you would have a starter AND an entree, while when we are in the USA we just have an entree... and we share it in two portions :)
Baffled he never heard the term still water. Where I am in Canada all public bins are divided between garbage and recycling and the recycling is often further divided into paper and other. Everyone returns their empty beer cans/bottles because they get $ back to recycle them. Each home has a garbage, a recycle and a green (compost) bin to be left near the street on scheduled pickup days. I wonder if not having a recycling program is just where Tyler is. America is definitely behind with a LOT of things but with regards to money, still using one-coloured notes made of paper and no coins of significant value. Maybe if they switched to indestructible polymer and replaced dollar bills with coins they could finance universal healthcare. (I've seen toilets in private homes with 2 buttons.. simple concept - how is it so shocking?)
Paying to use the bathroom is ONLY for PUBLIC toilets, if you go into a shopping centre with loos its free, a pub might let you use the loo, but they normally ask you to buy something.
This guy must eat at some fancy cafes, we have free water and ketchup in the UK. I haven't seen a jar of ketchup like the one he showed.
The 'pay to use' toilets he is talking about are ones either on streets, in large public areas such as rail stations and maybe the odd shopping mall (thought that is rare). Not toilets in cafe's, restuarants or stores. Here in the UK we could be better at public recycling but are good when it comes to home produced rubbish. The minimum by law in the UK for a full time employee is 20 days holiday plus 8 days public holidays. Over the last few years some terrible American practices have been creeping in and it need to be stopped. When Walmart purchased our supermarket chain ASDA they tried to impliment such rules etc. and were met with stiff oppostion and employment laws that they fell foul of legaly. They eventually gave up fighting and sold the supermarket chain on. We do have a horrible thing called 'zero hours' contracts which are normally for the really low paid sectors like home care workers etc. This is very exploitive of the worker and needs to be made unlawful. The ketchup not on the table tends to be with fancier restuarants were you would ask for any condiments of your choice (with that posh jar he was in a very nice place).
Should not believe everything you see on line. 1 Public toilets mean the ones on the streets and you pay for those. Some you can even get a shower. 2. Water. You just ask for tap water with your meal and it's free.
Well Tyler, you keep free water, and we'll keep free health care, fair exchange?
Free Healthcare? The only ones who get 'free' healthcare are those that haven't worked for a living. Everyone else has National Insurance deducted from their wages.
Fortunately in Canada we have both :)
Not all public toilets are " pay to use" in the UK. Usually just in " touristy" places, where the money pays to keep them clean and tidy.
You can't just walk into an " establishment" and use their toilet ! Even in McDonalds and Burger King you will need to buy something in order to get a code for the toilet door.
In the UK you are not given water when you sit down in a restaurant. You can ask for water. Tap water is usually free.
In the UK, " tailgating" means to drive too close to the car in front of you !
The guy in this video has been getting ripped off if that's what he's being given as a " standard" coke !! I have never seen a can that small !
Ketchup comes in sachets or normal bottles depending on where you are eating. That's a JAR of ketchup in the video.
Smoking n the UK is only allowed out doors. While not seen as fashionable or healthy, Eastern Europeans who have migrated here smoke like chimneys !!
American toilets are overfilled with water !!
You have to ASK for the bill/check. It's not left on your table.
Cricket is not popular in Europe and tends to be limited to the old British Empire. Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language, followed by Spanish and then English.
In the UK we do have free public toilets, they’re called telephone boxes.
😅😅😅
Small coke cans are unusual to find most cans of pop are 330ml. And smoking isn't cool. Everyone is just hooked on tobacco. They have banned cigarettes in all public buildings.
I always find it kinda weird that some people go to restaurant to drink water xD
I drink water at home, I go to restaurant to drink a beer or soda or whatever they offer that isn't just water.
Tap water is free in restaurants comes in jug with ice and lemon, public toilets are 40 pence or in USA 50 cent but most of time you can squeeze through turnstile 😂 yes you can survive without a car, public transportation is better have buses, trains and trams and we can take train to Paris and then all around Europe from uk 🇬🇧
Strange isn't it that a country that wants to influence the world and police it can not be bothered to learn a foreign language!!!
What other language would you need to learn other than "American?"
Alas, it doesn't WANT to influence and police the world, it actually DOES. Thus other places learn English and not the other way around. The UK also has low second language skills compared to countries in continental Europe.
The guy Tyler reacted to made me so mad. He's literally clueless. I think he went to the poshest place and was charged for ketchup and thought that was standard. It isn't. Most places have free ketchup. If you want tap water ask for tap water and you will get it. Most places would give you mineral water which is the bottled water because they can charge for it but if you say I want tap water they will give u it. Being charged for toilets isn't everywhere. Mainly in big cities to pay for toilet cleaners and keep out druggies who want to do heroin in there. We are crazy about sport and many families take their kids to football or cricket or rugby together. This dude Tyler is watching hasnt got a clue
In many European countries ketchup isn't free and it is considered rude or uncultured to ask for tap water in restaurants.
At least 4 weeks paid holidays here in the UK is normal, plus 9 Bank holidays.
1 euro is expensive to me. Thats 6 toilet trips here. You pay at the airport and the train Station,not in a nightclub. And that gives you a certain assurance that its gonna be nice in there. Mind you, the nicest toilet was in a nightclub and i didnt have to pay. But that was dead nice in there. I hate ugly toilets. 😊
Cars was a thing the over 30s had in the 80s and 90s. But its changed a bit now, some do have a car before 30 these days. But i lived in small towns and thats rhe same now most places i lived in Denmark had 2-3 shops and that was the town. This one has about 12 so not too bad. But nowhere did you really need a car. Theres busses to cities in one direction and trains to the ones in the other direction,so unless your in the midst of moving house you dont really need it. Its only when getting new furniture and tvs i miss a car..
And no that Coke is a joke..never seen it anywhere in Europe. We have the normal can everywhere. And that goes for at least 5 countries that ive gone to on a regular basis. But our meals are smaller. Like from what ive seen a medium Milkshake in the US can be bigger than the biggest one we sell here. Also they keep changing the Milkshake here. They used to be like MacDs everywhere. Now it seems theres some weird trend where whipped cream and chocolate bits and all kinds of fancy crap goes in them. So ots hard to get a Standard shake without all that wank in it. So where i live you cant get a shake i like in the whole town. You need to take a train ride to find one. And you might find they do the same shit in all towns. MacD and BK seems to be the only places they have a Milkshake thats not awful..
Uk usually has 4 weeks plus public holidays
We have 4 bins to recycling ♻️ its a days work putting them out and bringing them in 😮
If you ask for tap water it will be free generally otherwise its mineral or sparkling water which you pay for.
This guy (you are reacting to), is the typical example of a stereotypical American.
1, Water is free in many places, just ask for tap water. If you don't ask they sell you a bottle, how weird in a business.
2, Many toilets are free except not in the places where you don't contribute to the business (petrol stations, tourist stuff and public (as in out in the wild) restrooms) again, it's a business.
3, Those coke cans are called minis here.... the normal cans are 330ml just like yours.
4, ketchup in a glas cup, sure, In some fancy places they might, just like in a fancy hotel in the USA. but when im asking in my McD for ketchup, its going to be free, and in those plastic bags.
Prolly more but im giving up.
The point im trying to make, just coz he was in 1 place in Europe doesn't mean he knows fck all.
I don't know where these guys are from but iv never paid for water the bathrooms are only 20p,
Drew has actually been to every country in the world. He needs to dumb down his videos to make them more accessible to dumb Americans. People like Tyler would never understand a video on Slovenia (or even click on it.)
This video was shit. He also did a terrible video on the differences between Canada and the US. He does vids for dumb Americans but he also does videos for travelers, and the latter are actually pretty good.
Um, yeah, America doesn’t have parks. It certainly wouldn’t do something like create the first national parks system….
