Oh, I'm with you on that one today. Staffing has been a major issue of mine as of late.
That aside, what is worse than the auto-faucets? The auto-toilets and auto-handtowel dispenser!!! We have both at work and, while I'll avoid the perils of having the toilet flush when you arent' ready, the towel dispenser has been replaced more times than I can count! The damn things just don't work! We've changed brands, types, and yet now resort to just leaving an entire roll of towels just sitting on the sink in the public bathrooms. Damn! Put back the old school ones!
Don't get me started on the nifty new soap dispensers they put in at the same time. Haven't had access to soap since.
