6. There is one advantage to dryers. You have to stand there for a minute to use it, so you are a captive audience for whatever pro-dryer message they print on the front of the dryer.

i thought the main advantage of air driers is that the establishment owners didn’t have to restock paper towels and deal with the trash. is there supposed to be another reason? ps i usually just wipe my hands on my pants, if i’m wearing anything.
