Fujian Jinfeng Mobile Toilet
The Fujian Jinfeng Mobile Toilet is a special toilet facility located by the seaside in Jinfeng Town, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, and is currently out of service. Here is an introduction from multiple aspects:
Location and Facility Composition: This mobile toilet is situated by the seaside in Jinfeng Town. It was configured by Mr. Liu, the operator, who spent over 20,000 yuan to purchase a mobile container a month ago. It has only one toilet cubicle and one toilet seat, and is also equipped with a shower and a vending machine, offering relatively diverse functions.
Charging Situation: The charging standard has undergone multiple adjustments. Initially, it charged 6 yuan per use. Due to the large number of visitors, Mr. Liu, who was solely responsible for cleaning, found it too tiring and received more complaints, so he raised the charge to 10 yuan per use. However, after this charging standard was exposed, it was adjusted to 2 yuan per use. Additionally, the shower fee is charged at a rate of 2 yuan per minute.
Usage Method: It adopts a method of scanning a code to pay and enter. After paying 10 yuan, a page pops up on the phone with two options: 'Open' and 'End Order'. Clicking 'Open' starts a countdown. However, the duration shown on the mini-program is not the actual usage time of the toilet, but rather the time during which no one else can scan the code to enter the toilet, with unlimited toilet usage time. After entering the toilet and closing the door properly, it will show that the toilet usage time is unlimited. When the countdown ends, the door lock will not open automatically, and people outside cannot scan the code to unlock it. The user can unlock the door from inside with a key.
Business Situation: Previously, it brought in an average of about 100 yuan in revenue per day. However, after being exposed, Mr. Liu pulled the container back in the middle of the night. It is currently out of service, and Mr. Liu said, 'I didn't make much small money and even lost more.'
Public Reaction: Many netizens find the price of 10 yuan for a single toilet visit expensive. The countdown method for using the toilet also brings a sense of oppression, and they are concerned about the consequences when the countdown ends, such as 'Will the door open automatically?' and 'Will people be ejected?' Some netizens believe that this charging method is inhumane, that the mobile toilet is expensive, that the countdown makes people nervous, and that it is unfriendly to people with mobility issues.
