I am not keen on the fact that they put hand-sanitizer dispensers in the hallway

here @ work.Not that I have a problem w/ hand sanitizer--I bring it in for my student workers (sometimes they have to touch ickyness that the public touches) so there are 3 bottles in this desk right now.  (I try to do right by my student workers--I give them food leftover from events and I buy them clorox wipes, hand sanatizer, kleenex, lotion, and post-its.  Everything else, they're on their own)But...I work in a sketchy area.  And the general public walks through often--and the 'not-so-general homeless/disturbed/etc public too.  I haven't seen my 'regular' homeless guy yet today, he should be by in an hour--he'll be scrounging for recyclables and he will tip his hat to me (note, he doesn't wear a hat) and go on his way.So why exactly did the powers-that-be decide it was wise to put moderately toxic alcohol in the hallways?(the Mr. said he didn't think the fact that it contained alcohol was public knowledge--I beg to differ.  No, a lot of people dont know that, but ALL the alcoholics I know know that)

My office did the same thing. The smell of the stuff is awful, and the dispensers are right by the elevators. Every time I get on an elevator I'm knocked over by the toxic scent of foaming Purell.There are also dispensers in the bathrooms. Right next to the soap dispensers and sinks. I burn with rage over that one.

I love it when there's sanitizer in the bathroom. It's actually less harsh on my skin than washing and drying is - not to mention, I don't have to belly up to the always-wet sink and get my clothes all wet, or touch the nasty wet faucets, or dry my hands on my pants because of course there aren't any towels. And yeah, I'll just use the sanitizer in my purse instead of washing. But if it's already in the bathroom, I don't have to fuss with the purse.

There was an alcoholic on addiction that was admitted to the hospital. He needed a drink so bad, he mixed the hand sanitizer in his room with water and drank it. I will never be the same.
