I mean, WTF?  I don't want someone's disgusting hand washing droppings on my paper towels.  Plus it looks sloppy.


Why does this seam to be most common in restaurants that think they are fancy?  GMAFB.  :flush:

Good thread.  Love the new hand blowers that basically strip the top layer of skin off and dry the hands in 1 second.  Amazing they can make something that blows that hard.  Suprisingly, crappy to mid-level places seem to have these most often.  Also So Long has them I believe.

What made me think of it was a recent trip to Olive Garden (<-long story, don't ask).

I mean, first of all, who the frack are you, Olive Garden?  You aren't fancy!  And it sucks anyway!

It's like they only took the worst part of nice restaurants because they're a poor piece of sh*t.


I prefer any hand dryer over any towels.  (more sanitary, better for environment)

But I'm pretty sure Trig invented paper towels in baskets.

I bet you got the never ending pasta bowl to try and get your money's worth.  LOL, joke's on Rusty because it's olive garden and it's impossible to get your money's worth!

I prefer motion activated paper towel dispensers.  I like paper towels, not a fan of the hand dryers.

what about very thick yet disposible paper towels in baskets?

Those are the worst.  You have to stand there for three, THREE, towel despenses before getting a sufficient amount of paper towel to dry your hands.  Garbage imo.  Airports have those and the lines get long behind them.  

Another point:  The rag roll that gets washed and re-used in the nasty dispenser thing (LMAO, does anyone know what I'm talking about)

BS, I bet that thing gets washed once a year in lead based paint and mercury just to get the gross down to a useable level.

At some point you have to say &@#% the environment when it comes to convenience and preference of hand drying.

No, I'll have hand dryers.
How much wattage do those things use? 

This conversation would not be complete w/o mentioning the all in one hand washer/dryer things at the KSU student union (and I-70 rest stop in Missouri somewhere)

Ever been to a fancy restaurant with a bathroom attendant? Pretty awkward.  Don't like to tip guys for handing me a towel.

    The very best.
ksu alumni center has bathrooms like this. this is why you use your shirt to dry your hands. can look humil. when you go back into public though.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

In NYC one time I tipped the SOB a buck every trip in and was getting pretty katpak'd so I made a lot of trips in.  The next day I felt like going back there and taking a bunch of soap and stuff to get my money's worth.

Make sure to grab the towel yourself rather than have him hand it to you.

Worst thing in the world. I could care less about hand towels Vs blowers...just don't stick some dude in there whose primary job is to hang out and wait til I'm done going to the bathroom and then offer me a towel or even worse, cologne. "I'm just here to go to the bathroom guy, keep your Drakkar to yourself."  :flush:
