I am pretty observant. I pride myself on it. I always tell people that as a Poker player I have learned to watch what people do. This applies to all facets of my life including going to take a leak in a public toilet. I specifically mention leak because there is no way in the world that I am going to do the OTHER THING in a public toilet. It would literally have to be coming out of me for me to consider sitting in a public bathroom to take a dump.
Anyway, working in a big casino like Hard Rock, I get to go to whizz a couple of times per night. I am just amazed at the number of people who's parents never taught them to wash their hands after using the bathroom. Tonight I realized that a builder could save a fortune by only putting in one sink for every 25 urinals and toilets. Even then there would never be a line to use the sink. Amazing.
Apropos the above, last weekend I was in Santo Domingo. I went to the Nacional Supermarket and had to use the bathroom. Above each urinal was a sign in Spanish that read, "the Lava manos (the wash hands...that's what they call sinks here) are only to wash your hands. Of course, there was some guy taking a full bath in one of the sinks. I have seen this more times than I care to remember. I actually know the sequence. Interestingly this rarely occurs after going to the bathroom. Some guy just enters the bathroom, starts to wash his face, shampoos his hair (with or without soap), takes off his tee shirt and washes his upper body. Mercifully I have never seen anyone take off his pants to finish off.

EMPLOYEES MUST WAS HANDS.
