I'm really sick of....

I don't wash my hands; the soap used in most of those places makes my hands flare up. I use hand wipes instead; after I leave the loos cuz of the door thing.

My college has those airblasters installed in all the public bathrooms. I was NOT prepared for the whole air-moving-so-fast-your-skin-ripples the first time I used one.

The local mall, though? Run the hand dryers twice and I STILL have to wipe my hands on my pants. *le sigh*

My mom had a TIA (read: mini-stroke) at a movie theater once. As she was recovering she was pale and sweaty. We ran into the bathroom to grab a paper towel to soak with cold water and help cool her off...

You guessed it. Dryers only.

We would up with a ton of napkins from concessions, but they don't hold water quite as well as paper towels and wound up being mostly a soggy mess.

We have a reason for not putting paper towels in our bathrooms at the wholesale club. Every time we do, someone ends up flushing them down the toilet, and clogging the pipes, thus taking one of the stalls out of commission, and necessitating a call to the plumber.

So, we have air-dryers instead. Don't like 'em? Too bad.

But I suspect that the reason customers get annoyed when they tell you the paper towels are empty and you tell them there's a blow dryer is that it sounds like you're (pardon the pun) blowing them off. They're telling themselves "I'll do them a favor and let them know they're out of paper," and they hear"I'm too lazy to fix it. Use the inferior system instead."

I usually say something like "Oh I am sorry! I'll get some one down here to replace those right away. We also have a hand dryer on the wall ^_^"

This is our biggest problem with the paper towels. and our bathroom is just ONE toilet for ladies and men. So if it is clogged everyone is SOL. I have asked management to think about just getting rid of the paper towels... but I doubt it will happen.

Still, if there are no towels, at least there's an alternative, so why bitch?

That one of the things that make them SCs.

I always hate using hand dryers because they never get you dry like at all... but then i went to Japan and was amazed by this:

air flows from both sides and completely dries your hands very quickly, i wish we had these over here... also their toilets that squirt water at you make you feel squeaky clean.
