Approaching Santa Fe, NM, from the south on I-25. This sign, with push buttons, was outside of the restroom doors. Did it want to know if I was pleased with its cleanliness, or was the question more existential, like "should this rest stop even exist?" And how do the rest-stop operators compile and interpret the information? I pushed "yes," as I figured that in these days of budget crises, travelers should be supportive of any facilities they find along the way or they might be taken away from us.
