That's a huge problem. Payphones don't have biases. As long as you have enough money, they just work.

People have many, many biases. (For example, against homeless, and those who are often in most need of help.)

The reality of depending on other people is that you're dependent on their flaws. This works out for most people, but certainly does not for many of those who are marginalized.

Even if you didn't you would just call collect.
