If a business wanted to charge me to change a baby’s diaper in the bathroom, I’d just do it right on the table or whatever in the middle of everyone. Let’s see how your business does when everyone is seeing and smelling that business. I hope it’s a restaurant.
I expect that customers will not blame the business for that. They’ll just think you’re an inconsiderate person, like all the other parents who think a table where people eat is an appropriate place for their child’s faeces…
Making the other customers suffer, and potentially get ill, isn’t a reasonable response to a business doing something shitty. Just don’t go to restaurants that don’t provide baby-changing facilities. Don’t expose innocent people to your baby’s shit.
Collateral damage in a just war. Don’t patronize restaurants that charge for the restroom and you’re in the clear there, while also being on the morally correct side of history.
My local authority in East London pays local cafes a small amount if they make their toilets available to the general public and display a sign on the door. This feels like a good pragmatic solution to me.

Well they’d be wrong in this case.
Nope, I think they would still be right. No matter what, a baby’s shit-covered arse doesn’t belong on a table in a restaurant. That’s just gross.
Exactly right, it doesn’t.
Which is why the owners are responsible for providing the safe clean place for them.

I disagree, that is the appropriate response.
Nope, inflicting excrement on innocent people is never an appropriate response.

For their customers, or for anyone who walks off the street?
Practically for their customers.
Ideologically and wistfully for everyone.

Yeah, that is definitely a nice, pragmatic solution. I imagine it’s cheaper for the local council than running public toilets themselves, too.
Based on the coffee shops I’ve visited, the patrons are just going to piss on the door.
People do this already and there are bathrooms to use. Saw a mom do this on a McDonald’s table.
I also rarely eat inside fast food restaurants anymore, coincidentally.
