What countries do you know of where that's the actual law?

It's usually preferred if there's room for separate ones, but at the same time I'm pretty sure in almost every country I've visited I can remember examples of little bars and cafés where there's a single tiny bathroom shared by customers and employees alike.

I only know for certain it's by law in Norway, and I suppose I just assumed it was for other European countries, too, since a shared bathroom is rarely to be seen.

That's interesting. I have never been to Norway. Why do they feel the need to separate the workers and guest bathrooms like that? Is it like a class thing? In the us we have that too in super fancy places but I always got the vibe it's because the clientele felt like they were better than the people who waited on them lol.
