    There are plenty of ways to make this better. Most of it’s theater because there’s nothing really wrong with touching the door, but some of the ways are not even expensive to make it comfortable for germaphobes.

    Single bathroom doors always swing out

    Copper-plate the handles

    If you have to swing in, add a foot handle.

      Plenty of stuff wrong with touching the door, considering how many people don’t wash their hands…

        What else do they touch? How many are employees? The door is only gross because you know it’s being touched. EVERYTHING is being touched, and something like 50% of people don’t wash their hands properly or at all.

          Yeah that’s why you don’t touch other stuff either, because it’s all gross. But at least if you go to the bathroom to wash your hands, you should be able to like eat your lunch after
