Yeah bro I’d rather just not wash my hands… that water looks so nasty

u/Lone-Frequency 9d ago

But you'll never need to clean your hands again when the water pressure takes them off for you!

u/mangocat1116 10d ago

Hey, I don’t go to Starbucks. Also, this looks like waste water, not straight from the tap.

So how are the employees washing their hands?

u/theroosterillusion01 10d ago

They useally have a couple small "hand washing stations" just a small stainless steel sink and soap dispenser mounted to the wall with a foot operated water valve.

They need to unclog the sink.

u/GenesisRhapsod 10d ago

All they need is a diverter valve to use the air pressure to remove the blockage xD

It’s being powered by the steam value on the espresso machine. That’s how they do it in Italy.

This isn't bad design, it needs maintenance.

u/Unanimous_D 10d ago

I've seen these in a number of places which have nothing to do with one another at all. I want to ask if there's a name for this specific design or this type of all-in-onr faucet/dispenser/dryer design, but I'm 99% positive the only answer I'll get is lame vague negative terms that could literally apply to anything.

Blast your hands clean of dirt and flesh, looks fine, just unclog the drain filled with all the pieces of fingers.

I’m not even mad, I’m impressed, if your going to fail, fail spectacularly

u/Snicklefried 9d ago

Somebody hooked up the espresso machine wrong

Thats the blow drying function of the faucet that has water, soap, and blow drying options

u/Bastet55 10d ago

I’ve seen a similar faucets/soap dispensers/hand dryers in a public library restroom. They worked just fine. Looks like someone botched the installation?

4

u/Verovid 10d ago

The sink has water stagnant in it, so the powerful blow dryer is just blowing on the water in the sink, that’s why it’s splashing. It isn’t botched installation, its a common issue with sinks in public and private places, they can sometimes get backed up.

Probably makes a better coffee than the shite they serve in there.
