Usually the soap dispenser is above

Common in factories where lots of people need to wash their hands at the same time.

the transparent pump bottle in the middle is probably soap

That's what makes the design crappy, they had to put a plastic bottle in the sink as a workaround

The fact that the more people that are washing their hands at the same time, the less water each person gets is worst than the soap thing

Shouldn’t be a problem if the water pressure is sufficient. The problem wouldn’t be any different if there were 6 sinks in a row on a wall.

If, however, the same pipe also goes to the 50-ish toilets, like it did at my high school, then… yes who the fuck engineered that?

Not sure if this sink is flat bottomed, but flat bottomed sinks suck. I have 2, they dont drain properly, so they grow mold and need to be scrubbed every week. Just awful design.

I feel like any sink that gets used by 6 people at the same time is probably getting scrubbed pretty regularly regardless

[-] CameronDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Probably, but either way, fuck flat bottomed sinks.

Why couldn't there just be a soap dispenser on the wall nearby? That's pretty common at heavy traffic sinks like at stadiums, movie theatres, etc.

Do people put soap in the sink?
