we went to the mimosa bar last week and found the loo charge, my daughter went straight to the owner and complained that we had been drinking their beers at 5 TL and then to have to pay to use the loo, the staff all said "no problem, you don't have to pay it" so why is the woman stopping yopu from going in if you don't pay her?
Well this is it, the old "You don't have to pay" charade, where nobody has to pay as long as they go to use the facility, get challenged and asked for money, traipse off to find the manager, explain to him that you don't want to pay, he knows you don't want to pay and attempts to become your knight in shining armour and all round good guy by letting you off something you shouldn't be asked to pay in the first place.
It works because the vast majority are too embarrassed to challenge it, or can't be bothered to over 40p, or too desperate for the loo, or caught off guard.
I'd pay 10 lira for an Efes before I'd pay 1 lira for a pee and I will not be going anywhere near the place.
