OMG!
I've never thought about the challenges little ones face with all those devices! So there's your
answer. The designers don't think of kids (either) and apparently, neither do the builders of the bathrooms. I wonder what so called "kid friendly" restaurants do (Chucky Cheese, for instance)? Poor Layne. Ya know, it's been so long that I've babysat & taken a small child anywhere, it just never occurred to me.

Heck those devices weren't invented the last time I took a kid someplace. Didn't have a car seat for that child either. The times have changed in good and bad ways, I guess.
Haha! We are soooo much alike (except for that library book thing!

), I am also a foot flusher and I pull my hand into my shirt sleeve to open bathroom doors. If I have to, I'll use my shirt hem. I'm not in the habit of using a towel on the door, half the time there aren't any!
You have a valid point about where the employees wash their hands in that restaurant. Sometimes, public restrooms in restaurants just make me shudder when I think about where the staff washes their hands. Please excuse me now. I need to go bathe in hand sanitizer!!!
