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.

The women's bathroom must be different than the men's. In the men's bathroom the attendant limits our paper towels to 2 pieces and cologne to 2 spritzes. They could save more money on toilet paper if they would fix the bidet. Ours has been out of commission for at least a week. I always use less paper after a good rinse. Where's my money, suckas?

I'm sorry J... you must have been under the dilusion that I allow comments that do not fully support my point of view... always!!! I'm sure we are now on the same page!!! (Haha!) And I think you are missing the point... the point is we paid money for those new paper towel things and now for my raise... or sanity... or ability to pay my bills in an economic world spiraling out of control.
