Goddamnit. I want my free stool softeners and padded toilet seat with built-in warm-water bidet.
(Really though...having worked in food-service (for a coffeehouse actually)...I would never use the changing table provided. We don't clean them. Like blood spills and vomit (and now that bench), they are considered contaminated biological waste (we clean the toilet by spraying the no-label foaming bathroom cleaner in the bowl and flushing. The sink gets the same cleaner and then we run it for 30 sec.) and we're not trained to and cannot be compelled to by management. The managers have to do it themselves because they're trained for it (my manager would never lower herself to cleaning the bathroom), pay to send us for contaminated-waste clean-up training (which costs money and as a certification entitles us to a higher base-rate-of-pay) or call corporate to send someone out (which they charge us a few hundred dollars for).
The result is the changing table never gets cleaned. It's almost-certainly less-sanitary than the bathroom floor which gets sanitized and damp-mopped once every 6 hours.)
