Surely pit toilets don't need maintenance, right? Well, it turns out that several times a day they go to each pit toilet and replenish the TP and spritz the seats and surrounding area with bleach, let it sit for a minute or two, then spritz everything with water to flush down the... uhm... "misses". Without that, they would become filthy and unsafe within a single day because for the busier ones hundreds of people use each toilet per hour. So yeah, the dude whose job is to spritz the toilets is on unpaid leave, the toilets get locked. Actions have consequences and all that.BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359657762730149804.post-59849504708932782292013-10-03T04:13:46.942-07:002013-10-03T04:13:46.942-07:00One of my son-in-laws is out of work now, thanks t...One of my son-in-laws is out of work now, thanks to those bozos. He's normally a really mellow and soft spoken guy. He's pissed. I was actually surprised at his anger level. Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
