soap
Usually the soap dispenser is above
Common in factories where lots of people need to wash their hands at the same time.

The first elementary school I went to was built in the 1930s and had two of these in every bathroom. Never had to wait to wash my hands.
Granted, I never had to wait in highschool either but that's because teenagers are nasty.
Ah yes primary schoolers get the pass here.
The age where people eat food from the floor without thinking twice, has a stream of boogers, and have their hands dirty 1.5 seconds after washing*
*on average, because some are still learning how to apply soap
the transparent pump bottle in the middle is probably soap
That's what makes the design crappy, they had to put a plastic bottle in the sink as a workaround
The fact that the more people that are washing their hands at the same time, the less water each person gets is worst than the soap thing
Not sure if this sink is flat bottomed, but flat bottomed sinks suck. I have 2, they dont drain properly, so they grow mold and need to be scrubbed every week. Just awful design.
I feel like any sink that gets used by 6 people at the same time is probably getting scrubbed pretty regularly regardless
Probably, but either way, fuck flat bottomed sinks.
Why couldn't there just be a soap dispenser on the wall nearby? That's pretty common at heavy traffic sinks like at stadiums, movie theatres, etc.
Do people put soap in the sink?
Usually next to.
If there was space for it.
