>1. Participating in the program will cause you additional costs

I can't believe you would claim that point # 1 would be false.

You're talking about letting the world into your establishment to use the restroom. You should know the state most public toilets are in.

The city has now moved that into your restaurant or bar. Your employees will have to clean it, or you will have to pay for the cleaning services.

So I must say, 150euros seems extremely low for this service.

My second thought was that this could be easily exploited. I assume controllers verify that signs are not ripped down or obscured for all those receiving the grant but for 150 euro a month I see no large incentive to cheat in this program anyways.

That's exactly my point. No one uses them, everyone goes to restaurants and pubs anyway - so nothing changes.

I don't know what dream city you live in but where I live, if you're not finding heroin addicts in public restrooms it's a good day.

But heroin addicts aside, you'll get drunk teenagers, tagging, careless behavior and even vandalism.

That's what I'm saying. Most people avoid public toilets and the initiative is a little compensation for a fact that restaurant owners can't change anyway. In my opinion it will not change peoples behaviour.
