Update to the Update: Tough Times??

Some might call this third blog about new paper towel & toilet paper dispensers obsessive... but fuck "some". Today, as I was again discussing my frustrations with our ability to get new bathroom appliances but not properly compensate our hard working staff... someone said to me, "You know those automatic paper towel dispensers are just so they can save money on paper towels, so there aren't so many wasted?!" It was a point I hadn't yet thought of but to one I say this... If your automatic paper towel dispensers actually work... and people want to use the over abundance of paper towels they always use to dry their hands... they will just wave their hands more than once. It doesn't take a genius... or a mensanite... I mean it's not like they cut you off. Like a little voice from inside the dispenser says, "I'm sorry ma'am you've reached your paper towel limit" and then stops the dispensing. Someone show me the graph that proves how quickly these high tech bathroom appliances are going to pay for themselves. But you know what will be a problem, the liability you will have on your wet hands when I for real lose it... because I have to keep drying my hands on my f-ing jeans. They are brand new... do you think they could work properly for a day?? And what about the toilet paper dispensers... because there is nothing stopping the over-usage there. No waving to get four squares... or button pushing to dispense the perfect ass-wiping amount. Oh no, you could pull toilet paper to your hearts desire. So how are those benefiting us? How are they saving us money? The answer, my friends, is it is all a bunch of waha... waha... that ends with wasting money... and without my raise. I rest my case... at least for now.

Update: Tough Times??

So I'm in our wonderfully new applianced bathroom today. And I go to wash my hands...
Water on-check
Soaping hands up- check
Rinsing hands off-check
Drying hands off- nothing!!!
Our beautiful (I say beautiful, but really they look like cheap steel boxes) new handless paper towel dispensers, don't work. I mean nothing. I wove my hand slowly across the front... quickly across the front... slowing underneath... quickly underneath... I touched the "magic button" on the bottom... NOTHING. And then I move to the other magic dispenser... and repeated all my tricks... and still NOTHING. Listen... I'm not trying to say anything, but never have my smooth strokes ever been denied like this before!!! So after five minutes of stroking (which is way beyond my limit!!!) I dried my hands on my fucking jeans and left the bathroom. This my friends is my raise's replacement?? WTF??? At least with our old paper towel dispensers, I got a paper towel... and a chance at a raise!!! I'm not trying to raise some hell, but whose f-ing idea was this? Under what circumstances are non-touch paper towel dispensers worth more than your producer's sanity?? I am on the brink of losing it... and the fact that I can't even get a paper towel to wipe my G-D hands is only pushing me closer to the edge. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone... don't look now... but we may be on the verge of a paper towel mutiny in the women's bathroom...
