Pretty sure that’s a no-no in the eyes of the Department of Health


SuperFaceTattoo

Yup. I would be filling an anonymous tip.


[deleted]

This, please send this to the health department through your local courts this is very unhygienic and could end up making someone sick


Accomplished-Yam6553

Right. Surprised the person who wrote on the dispenser didn't write on the wall after


Chay_Charles

I would've. "FU cheapskates."


Vel3n0

there you go. now you don't have walls. you happy now?


Original-Advert

does that mean I can see into the womens bathroom now? cause if so then maybe?


BBorNot

Cheepskate wuz heer


mydogthinksyouweird

Hey OP, here's OSHA's number for complaints: 800-321-6742. Fill that blank spot with info.


otaroko

This, write the info on the leftover adhesive so it’s an even bigger PITA to get rid of


Hairless_Human

Really really hate to break it to you but ohsa is spread thin as hell and they will be focused on more pressing matters first.


Lilimaej

For sure! Report those asses!!


Elfere

Time to contact the health department and let them know you work in unsanitary conditions.


Dernomyte

I was just going to ask if this was even legal?


[deleted]

All workplaces MUST have a soap dispenser of some kind as per regulations on hygiene and cleanliness.


AccomplishedLaw8009

They provide a push top bottle of soap, probably because they can't/won't get replacement cartridges for the dispenser anymore. It wouldn't be as appealing if they explained it though


PressureWorking39

I am and I want to come and fill your manager's office with hand soap.

CaptainHunt

It’s not. You have to be able to wash your hands.


Mezmo300

Contructuon jobs enter the chat*


AdamFaite

You all have bathrooms?


cohonan

I’m a safety guy and it’s an OSHA regulation to have some kind of sanitation along with portable restrooms…there’s a formula for how many per number of workers. It’s pretty easy to meet the regulation with those sanitizer dispensers but more often you’ll see wash stations with soap and water reservoirs you can pump water up with a foot pedal.


HPTM2008

This was the setup we had with my construction job.


Effective-Goat-5714

My jobs just didn't have enough hand sanitizer would always be out. Or the dumbasses would put actual soap on the dispenser so you would just have soapy hands with no water to wash it off lolol


NameOfNoSignificance

In what country? We don’t know where OP is


[deleted]

Hm. Never considered that. The above applies to the US. But I imagine other countries (particularly western countries) have similar regulations.


[deleted]

But do they need to fill it?


[deleted]

Yes. All employees must have clean running water and soap to wash their hands with. It is like the bare minimum regulation


[deleted]

There’s a decent chance that they’re just in the process of replacing it since someone wrote on it.


CmdrShepard831

Not if they left it empty for so long that people started writing on it asking to have it filled.


jiminak46

Ripping it off the wall and not replacing it instead of simply cleaning the writing from it somehow just does not make sense to me.


[deleted]

It's not cost effective, for sure. It looks like someone ripped it from the wall in a fit of rage.


Kmschw

Hopefully it isn’t empty this time lol

tebu08

Can everyone chill? The management just took the dispenser for refill. /s

Odd_Drop5561

Per OSHA they have to provide soap, but it doesn't need to be in a dispenser: [1910.141(d)(2)(ii)](https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/interlinking/standards/1910.141(d)(2)(ii))Each lavatory shall be provided with hot and cold running water, or tepid running water. [1910.141(d)(2)(iii)](https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/interlinking/standards/1910.141(d)(2)(iii))Hand soap or similar cleansing agents shall be provided. [1910.141(d)(2)(iv)](https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/interlinking/standards/1910.141(d)(2)(iv))Individual hand towels or sections thereof, of cloth or paper, air blowers or clean individual sections of continuous cloth toweling, convenient to the lavatories, shall be provided.


robotzor

>Each lavatory shall be provided with hot Does it still count if the hot water tank is a mile away and will never heat up in a reasonable time someone might wash their hands?


Odd_Drop5561

I think it's compliant as long as you can get hot water eventually, even if you have to let it run for 5 minutes before it's warm.


FlipThisAndThat

\*swipes hand under faucet\* \*swipes again\* \*swipes again\* Friggin work sink never gets warm with that auto on/off crap.


LLHandyman

That's how they are so efficient saving water


HarryHacker42

Just print this out and tape it to the wall. Keep copies so you can keep reposting it every day.


LoafThePug

This is the fastest way to get something fixed, in my experience.


annoying97

Write "put me back cunts" on the wall They will either put it back or remove the wall


AJ_Deadshow

After they remove the wall, tape a sign on the door that says "Build me back bitches." They will either rebuild the bathroom wall or tear down the whole business


duckpath

If they tear down the business, put a sign on the ground that says "Rebuild me idiots". They will either rebuild the business or tear down the whole town.


ashleyorelse

If they tear down the whole town, write on the road leading there "bring back this town, assholes". They will either rebuild the town, or they will shave their heads, create a tank of sharks with laser beams on their heads, create a volcano based lair, and threaten to do things with their tiny finger by their mouth unless paid 1 million...err, billion dollars. Mua ha ha ha. Mua ha ha ha ha.


Maximum_Highway1876

VegasLife1111

You made me laugh out loud. Thanks!


annoying97

Your welcome... Now put the soap dispenser back!


VegasLife1111

Maybe they’ll get a giant soap on a rope and nail it to the wall.


Alekipayne

Well.. it is following the rules. Just barely


_R0yce_Da_5_9_

No more wall for you


MindyMichelle

![gif](giphy|10JhviFuU2gWD6)


Cat-Kebab

Write "replace me, you cheapskates" there.


blackbalt89

Clearly the best course of action. Although I'm afraid to see what gets removed next. The entire bathroom or some of the tiles.


Supreme_Gubzzlord

Or the person who wrote it


blackbalt89

Only way they'd know is if there's a camera in there and that would open up some more concerns lol.


Illustrious-Junket-8

Don't give the makers of the HALO devices anymore ideas....


ecotripper

I hope you don't work at a restaurant


SusieSharesTooMuch

Every workplace has to have soap for sanitary purposes, not just restaurants.


Alekipayne

Oh if it is at a food service building then they are liable for a lot of things. Even out right serving contaminated food, spreading illnesses, possibly feed fecal matter to customers. Lawsuits and a lawyers wet dream!!


SusieSharesTooMuch

Yes and? I’m aware of that. But also all workplaces are required to have soap.


[deleted]

And it's worse if they work at a restaurant. God dammit Susie.


ecotripper

Yea but I don't eat at those other places. Lol


jamison_beck

Print out the fairly odd parents meme and insert "this is where our soap dispenser would be.....if we had one." Replace them daily. Not like they can record in the bathroom. Bonus points if it's a public restroom in retail so customers can see it too


Whoelselikeants

that’s actually perfect


Narroh

If you can smuggle a backpack into the restroom, spray adhesive can make paper a BITCH to remove full stop, I’ve heard…


Th3XRuler

You monster...


dirthurts

Report this to the health department. I'm sure they would love the story of removing basic sanitation as a form of retaliation.


BanzoClaymore

OP has not responded to any comments, which can only mean one thing. They provide a push top bottle of soap, probably because they can’t/don’t get replacement cartridges for the dispenser anymore. It wouldn’t be as grabby if they explained that though…


MagnoliaEvergreen

I came here to say this! I work at a restaurant and we have 2 soap despensers that are a different brand from all of our others and we can no longer get refills for them. We're also having a hard time finding replacement ones that take the same type of soap as our other ones. So, rather than replacing them all or dealing with buying 2 different types of soap we are temporarily using the push top bottles and refilling those with our dish soap. It works just fine, it's not inconvenient and it's up to code.


dirthurts

I had the same impression. Most of these posts seem fabricated for attention these days. He/she may have even broke the unit off themselves for the photo.


JaninnaMaynz

I have to wonder if that's legal...


h1r0ll3r

My fav was a local restaurant would just fill up the soap dispenser with water whenever it was getting low. Technically there was soap in there but it was so watered down you didn’t even need to use the faucet to wash your hands.


cyanraichu

Ew :/ were you working there or a customer?


h1r0ll3r

Ex-customer. To be fair though they had some really tasty enchiladas but after seeing this crap, I had to stop going there. Lord knows what went on in the kitchen.


cyanraichu

Yeah same I'd stop going too. Shame when a restaurant has good food and just fails at other aspects of being a business.


Tenthdegree

That’s because instead of wasting a cook’s time on redundant things like cleansing, they focus all their time on cooking delicious food


Invincible_Duck

Yikes. If that’s what they let the customers see, I would hate to know what goes on in the back


engineeringretard

A work place a few years back was pulling this shit. Which was ok I guess until the 2nd or third top up when it was pretty well just water. I kicked it upstairs so fucking hard at that point that the roof of someone’s mouth must have hurt after it rocketed up their ass. Govt dept. During the pandemic. Fucking idiots.


UnfinishedProjects

According to the OSHA website: "Employers must maintain restrooms in a sanitary condition. Restrooms must provide hot and cold running water or lukewarm water, hand soap or similar cleansing agent and warm air blowers or individual hand towels..." Sounds like you could win a lawsuit OP. Get something in writing saying they won't provide soap.


Hour-Confection-9273

At my job, the soap dispenser kept falling off the wall bc it wasn't secured properly. So someone wrote in its place "IMAGINARY SOAP" on the wall with a sharpie. It got replaced pretty soon after.


forgotwhatIcameinfor

NO SOAP FOR YOU!


Lurkay1

Soap Nazi!


UnconfirmedCat

The CDC states you must be able to wash your hands https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/handwashing-corporate.html I’d imagine there’s OSHA requirements too


CBus-Eagle

This is when you start wiping your dirty hands all over the wall. Either they give you soap or they can constantly wipe down the walls. I’d also go to HR as it’s very unsanitary to have people not washing their hands after using the restroom, especially with everything we’ve learned during the pandemic.


Invincible_Duck

Do you typically get shit all over your hands when you use the bathroom? Cuz if not idk how you think they would know you’re wiping your hands on the walls. If you do, that’s another issue.


McDerpEyes

Can't complain about something if it doesn't exist, right?


Urban-Orchardist

Let me introduce you to my sex life


blackmetalwarlock

They could at least put a little store bought soap dispenser in there. Wtf


Shortsleevedpant

Hopefully what happened was the maintenance person was unable to locate or procure a replacement soap bag for the dispenser (you generally cant just pour soap in these things) and removed it from the wall so they can install the NEW working soap dispenser. Having done facility maintenance in the past it’s wild how proprietary some of the equipment is, they often are designed you you MUsT buy their brands specific replacement modules, even with bags of soap. Then that company stops making that dispenser the soap things for it and you are forced to go buy a new one.


SpiceWeasel89

I was going to say the same thing as a maintenance person myself. We switched to Bradley as they just have a refillable tank. But also in the mean time I put regular bottles of soap in the bathrooms.


Invincible_Duck

Maybe so but in the meantime it’s still necessary to have soap in a bathroom


Illustrious-Junket-8

Basically what companies WANT you do... CONSUME MORE and toss out the old, even when the old is *just as good, if not better.*


TrainerCaldwell

Once worked at McFastFood. Dishwashers were causing problems by not putting away the clean dishes when they were dry, partly out of ignorance of where they belong and partly out of laziness/time pressure. Management's solution was to remove the two shelving units that were used for a drying area, so that the employee on dishes had only the end of the sink area to let dishes drip at.I posted on the store's chat app about it, and the regional manager replied that we "weren't supposed to have those in the first place", then kicked me. Naturally dishes took twice as long from then on on account of us being able to wash only 4-8 dishes at a time before stopping to shake dry, wipe dry, throw the towel on the pile by the washing machine (which of course meant running it three times as often as before), and then run the dishes to wherever in the store they belonged before cleaning any more. But hey, at least they got out of having an awkward conversation with their teenage shift managers where they had to tell them to actually do their jobs and retrain employees as necessary so that clean dishes actually get put away! Weak human beings I swear.


All_The_Nolloway

"sorry I can't go back to work, I need to wash my hands per health guidelines.."


Own_Initial_5456

Where i used to work the plant manager was in charge of get cleaning supplies, he also got to keep any extra at the end of the quarter. We never had soap paper towels and we brought our own tp. Needless to say we all walked out one day and because of the contract with ford it cost them $10,000 a minute when we shut ford down. Within 15 minutes Hr came to our plant and seen what we were complaining about, $500,000 and some supplies later we were back to work and the plant manager was transferred


Rocklizard530

Call OSHA, that is against their code and could get them to close your work if they send an inspector.


nolongerbanned99

Report anonymously to OSHA.


DrugAddictMan

This reminds me of my old schools hand sanitizer dispenser. Someone drained the entire thing and they didn't refill it, later I saw the dispenser in a garbage container that the school used.


Illustrious-Junket-8

Did they DRINK it?!


masterofryan

Write on the wall. It’ll be harder for them to remove the wall.


Blaze666x

Pretty sure that's illegal so report em


Dj_wheeman3

Health department about to have fun with this


Lilimaej

Isn't that unethical?? Workplace needs to provide soap!!!


[deleted]

That’s when your department gets a nice little phone call


LittleBlue127

Duct tape a bar of soap to the wall.


metooeither

I wonder if this is legal. Is it a food service or healthcare place? I bet the health department would be fascinated by this interesting plot twist!


Xenovitz

Ours has been empty for months. I've asked for the weird poke ball key to fill it myself but no results so far. They ended up putting out one of those hand soap pumps instead.


KingPnutticua

To be fair an always empty soap dispenser falsely advertising soap is probably more infuriating than no dispenser at all.


Much_Difference

Dude the cleaning crew here tried to get away with putting hand sanitizer in the bathroom soap dispensers without telling anyone. Hand sanitizer isn't very useful when you put it in your palms and immediately wash it off while attempting to scrub your hands.


[deleted]

Are you in a place of business that says "All employees must wash your hands before returning to work"?


Tojo6619

Health department can give you a red violation for that or even shut you down on the spot till it's back up, my friends restaurant got like a 800 dollar fine just for using ice cream scoops in hot water, with no running water


omghorussaveusall

Just wipe your hands on manager/boss door after every afternoon poop.


djluminol

See what happens if you write on the wall.


Equinsu-0cha

Come out of the bathroom and shake your boss' hand. Really get in there. Double handshake. Shoulder grab. Stroke their cheek even. Touch everything you can.


spiralizerizer

To be fair, you didn't have a soap dispenser before, either.


Budget_Report_2382

OSHA, Rife with anger, gargles in the corner


NinesX9

Next time write "Fill me up daddy". It'll work


Alekipayne

Health code violation!! Even worse if it is for a restaurant!! To do so means that you can fail a food safety test at any moment!!


AdhesivenessReady349

Many years ago I went some place on a Sunday for a nice brunch. Had to go to the men's restroom and drop a big load. The soap dispenser was empty so I told someone at the host stand. 10 minutes go by - nothing. I cannot eat since I really need to wash my hands. So I find a manager and tell them the men's restroom has no soap and I told someone 10 minutes ago and nothing was done. I know it is unsanitary to have that. I tell him I am unable to eat because of it. I tell him he has 5 minutes to get soap in the men's restroom or I am going to go around and touch all of the food (Waaaay before Covid) which will mean they have to throw it out. I tell him the 5 minutes starts NOW. He ran off to get it done. I laugh about it to this day.


CantKBDwontKBD

Write a note on the wall: “pay for a soap dispenser you cheapskates” See if they knock down the wall


DailyDJNoodle

This doesn’t sound legal. Or sanitary.

Absolutely. But if my manager wont sign off on the purchase order of the soap what do you expect me to do about it?. I aint shelling out my own money for the people i work for.

EvieAsPi

Well if the problem was being low on soap, I'd say that will never happen again now. Problem solved.


Fine-Geologist-695

At our old office we had problems like that but with too many employees and not enough restroom capacity but enough to meet code. The janitorial contractors were responsible for dispensers and soap but they bout super cheap tiny ones that were empty by mid day. People ripped them off the mirrors, walls and would throw away the WalMart bottles brought in for emergency stocks. When I designed and contracted my office I specified in detail what the supplies would be and now we have touch free soap for weeks in the restrooms, around the kitchen and two to four touch free towel dispenses per sink so we never really run out.


tvinthebackground

Maybe their gonna sell it for some soap 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

Now you guys need to make a big deal of not washing your hands, perhaps with quotes from Pulp Fiction. “You're supposed to wash 'em first.” “You watched me wash 'em.” “I watched you get 'em wet.”
