In my opinion the motion activated sink faucets that are in use at Red Lobster and Walmart and Sam's Club are the worse invention I've ever seen. The Red Lobster setup provides such a light stream of water, it's almost impossible to get your hands wet. The Walmart/Sam's Club sinks make me feel like cattle, and you have put your hands underneath and so close to the basin that's it impossible to even rub your hands together.

One reason most of the responses to your original post was your term 'Downtown', are you referring to the squares? That is what we call them here. Even if they are the squares, you're not exactly pinpointing the area of your complaint. If it's LSL, then I usually use the restroom at the movie theater or the sales office. I find no problem with either. If you're referring to BW, then you mean the restroom next to the movie theater. My personal complaint about that place is the high pressure hand air dryers. The sound that they make is almost deftening and I wish they had paper towels. I can't remember the sinks, but I think they have faucets. What you might want to start doing is to carry disposable painters gloves, just put a packet in your back pocket. Each time after leaving the restroom you throw them away. Since your hands are never exposed to any germs, they won't need washing.
