Another work-related post. This one’s of more general interest.

Men’s bathroom has two sinks, and a sign which reads: All Foodservice Employees MUST wash their hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds before returning to work!

First problem: There is no hot water. At all. It’s all cold. It’s not even room temperature.

Second problem: The water will not run unless you are actively pressing on the faucet handle. Since the water shuts off the moment you take your hand off it, it’s actually impossible to wash your hands properly. There’s no way to rinse your hands and leave without touching the faucet handle, which you (and others) have already contaminated with your dirty hands!

Third problem: Uhh, hello? There aren’t any male foodservice employees in the building’s cafeteria, nor have there been in the eight months I’ve been here.

I’m glad someone got paid good money to make and install that sign, tho. It’s good to know that someone cares about the safety of the food they serve here!
