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.

More than likely a workers rights thing, as unions are very powerful here.
