My wife has. She grew up in a fairly rural and poor area of the US. Being rural the school buildings were older (pre 50’s-60’s school construction boom). So even the girls locker room showers were without stalls. She had classmates whose houses did not have running water. So the showers were still in use when she was growing up in the late 90’s and 2000’s. Well beyond when most school showers had stopped being used regularly because that was some kids opportunity to shower that day. I’m not sure if that is still the case today. But when my wife was growing up everyone still used them.
Moving on to college, she went to a large state school that had a couple gyms available for non-athletes. The newer gyms showers had stalls. But the oldest gym on campus was still open and communal. She used that gym several times a week during her first two years on campus because it was the closest gym to her. After moving off campus she used it less frequently because it wasn’t as convenient to get to.
