Public toilets, part ew ...

In the Starbuck’s bathroom, where I was (sadly) inspired to write this blog, I came upon a distressing attachment to the paper-towel dispenser.

There was a sticker placed just below the “All employees must wash their hands before returning to work” sign (see earlier blog for my thoughts haha). The sticker showed frame-by-frame directions on how one goes about washing their hands.

You start with water, add soap (for 20 seconds), rinse, possibly repeat, and dry.

Any Starbuck’s employee who needs to have this spelled out so carefully should not be in charge of legalized drugs and calorie-induced syrups. Not only are they forced to incorrectly pronounce words like “grande” and “macchiato”, but the management of Starbucks adds insult to injury by assuming that their employees do not have the mental capacity to understand how to clean their own skankified hands.

Next thing you know there will be signs instructing people how to use a toilet.

Where has our education system failed us? Maybe it should be NCLDB (No Child Left a Dirty Behind) …
