Ugh another machine to fight with in the bathroom
Automatic Toilet Tissue Dispenser Ready
ROSWELL, Ga. — Richard Thorne grins as he waves his hand under a toilet paper dispenser in a women’s restroom. The machine spits five sheets of tissue into his grasp.
A year in the works, the electronic tissue dispenser is being rolled out to the masses by Kimberly-Clark Professional as it seeks to capture more of the $1 billion away-from-home toilet paper market. The company believes most people will be satisfied with five sheets — and use 20 percent less toilet paper.
“Most people will take the amount given,” says Thorne. Waxing philosophical, he adds, “People generally in life will take what you give them.”
Public restrooms drive me nuts because none of the automation works well. The automatic faucet is never on long enough to actually wash your hands, the automatic soap dispenser either spews out too much or too little and the towel dispensers have to be activated several times to actually be able to dry your hands. I don’t even know what to say about having my toilet paper dispensed for me. UGHHHHH!!!
