South African man charged plenty to use toilet

This was not me: I haven't been in Durban since 2016.

I would have just taken a pee in the sea.

I just read that there is a sign up at the restaurant stating that non-customers will be charged for using the toilets.  Obviously the complainant can't read.

At this morning's rate (1 South African Rand = 0.073456 USD) that's $1.47 each to use the facilities.

I've been to places in Italy and Turkey where it was at least that much to use the bathroom.
