Having a place to wash your hands is one stated idea of why they're usually required in Canada.

I'm sure governments like the idea of not having to build-out public bathroom infrastructure (which gets a lot harder in places that freeze).

> Having a place to wash your hands

Here (Japan) places that need hand-washing but don't have a toilet will just have a small sink.

E.g. a fast food place in a mall where they don't have their own toilets: https://saga-style.jp/images/2573/files/251552529081.JPG

My favorite regional 'fast food joint' is "Cookout" (NC/Tenn). Not only is the Big Double Tray a fantastic & delicious value... they have a hand-washing sink immediately next to the ordering line (so you can wash your hands while waiting).

More places need such accessible facilities.

oh yeah, there's a local BBQ place that has a sink before the bathroom, because they don't want you touching anything with your saucy hands.
