Even doctor’s offices don’t do it. I get that it could mean double the trash to empty if you have one both inside and outside, but just for the purposes of public health…

      That’s what I was thinking. But also, those bathrooms that have a turn at the entrance so you don’t need a door are helpful. Walmart, and other places, often have a bathroom with no door. Not practical for everywhere.

    My office does have that, but it’s on the inside. I just open the door with a paper towel, prop it with my foot briefly, and toss it in the can.

    Most of the restrooms I’ve been to have a bin inside but close to the door, so you can grab the handle with a paper towel then throw it in before stepping out. But yeah, the ones without doors and only have partitions to hide the restroom from the outside is the best, like the ones in airports.

    Whoever loaded the paper towels into the dispenser at some point had their dirty bare hands all over the roll, possibly after having just cleaned the toilets, so why not just get rid of the door altogether?

    Get rid of the toilets too while you’re at it! People urinating and defecating in a public space can’t be sanitary! Do they even have someone to come in and fully clean and sanitize every surface after each person goes in there???
