Of course, it is worse when it involves food production. The situation is also bad in automotive where the big three have forced the profitability out of their suppliers. A certain automotive parts maker on my route has padlocked the restrooms by the loading dock. They cannot afford the janitorial service. A certain automotive parts plater has such filthy restrooms that one of their own employees goes home to use clean facilities. Truckers do not have that choice. I always stop at a rest area before delivering at these factories. Is this a great country, or what?

Aren't you glad you're not female? We had to sit at a filthy place with no facilities for EIGHT HOURS last week. I always use the facilities right before we get anywhere just in case. It was a long day but I made it.

Hasn't anything to do with it. It ALL has to do with the Health Practices of Mexicans.
For some silly reason, mexicans won't flush toilet paper down the toilet. They ALWAYS put their "wipies" in the trash (or on the floor). I guess they got tired of cleaning toilet paper off after they go swimming.
