Special Cases and Controversies

The "container-type mobile restroom" by the seaside in Jinfeng, Fujian, once sparked online controversy due to charging issues. This restroom combined a toilet, shower, and vending machine. Initially, it charged 6 yuan per use, then raised the price to 10 yuan per use due to cleaning issues, and after being exposed, adjusted it to 2 yuan per use. The countdown displayed on its mini-program was not a time limit for use but indicated that other users could not scan the code to enter during that period. After the user closed the door, it showed "unlimited time in the restroom," and the door lock would not open automatically when the countdown ended; it needed to be unlocked with a key from the inside. Currently, this restroom has been suspended from use.
