Many years ago (mid-80's), Alaska Airlines ran a bunch of commercials expressing their full service flights versus the competitor.

One commercial shows a fella heading back to the lavatory only to see it requires 50c to enter. The remainder of the commercial has him going around the plane (cross legged of course) asking people if they can break a $10 bill for him. At first he simply asks to break the ten, by the end of the commercial, he's willing to accept 50c for the $10 bill. It was quite hilarious. Sadly, it could be an accurate picture of the future now!
