A company I have worked for tried this, changing a few single bathrooms from M and W to unisex. The women protested because cleanliness went way down. They went back to M and W after 2 weeks.
That's because habits are hard to change. But give it time (or turnover) and it'd be fine. Have the cleaners come in more often and make sure everyone is responsible for keeping the stalls clean. Education.
There are a few more parts you can buy for the home install to make it more efficient. I can see the manufacturers leaving it out due to install space and cost.
My system is relatively new, but this thread has my thinking of ways I can better use that 4 gallons of waste.
That's handy to know. I was investigating whether I could make my hydroponics system recycle the water but the waste ratio made it unattractive - it was only for science.
I found myself in a similar situation, sharing the same name, not profiling. I was asked to come in to 'help with a case'. It was really an interrogation of my involvement. I had the same feeling of uncertainty and the thought I could do nothing to argue my case, based on the continued, escalating questions.
It was assumed that I needed to prove my innocence rather than they prove my guilt. Luckily I happened to be across the country on that day so it was easily dropped. I was denied to see the police report after multiple requests, which I thought I was entitled to.
This one experience greatly changed the way I view police and their tactics. I can empathize
The mark-up in bars comes from the cost of rents, human resources, some advertising and a mark-up for smashed/lost/stolen glassware.

Edit: Also, licensing and inspection fees tend to be ridiculous. And as soon as you serve food in your bar and not just alcohol, you're thrown into yet another pool of regulations, more licenses and more inspections.
Oh yes. This happens far too often. It seems to be a common hobby among many college students to snatch anything and everything they find interesting. That very big beer mug? Gone. The decorations you hung for Valentine's day? If they're made of anything stronger than paper, they'll disappear. Hell, I've seen students stealing metal infomation boards from trams as souvenirs.
And bartenders are a walking target for criminals. I got robbed three times, a colleague got his cellphone stolen behind the bar while clearing a fight - and next day, he was working again, cops arrested someone and another guy stole his backup cellphone right under the cops' nose and vanished.
The amount of times people tried and sometimes succeeded paying me with fake money or blowjobs (okay, I accepted the blowjobs though) cannot be counted even if I had eight hands and twenty fingers.
And soccer club banners are a prime target for fans of rival clubs. Hell, I could write a book about my endeavours.
beer is just an analogy. I interpreted it as him saying there is greed in all markets.
Is there something inherently wrong with marking up cash advances for those who are otherwise seen as too risky to take on? Any market that has little to no competition has the opportunity to run the same course.
The recent drug price increase of 5000% comes to mind.
Only sort of. Their laws have no jurisdiction outside of Scotland. Except in some cases based on trade agreements, as the wiki says. You could probably distill and sell Scotch in the US if you like. Various state regulators may not give you the necessary licenses to sell but it's probably not illegal.
Except you couldn't call it Scotch due to the name being a protected mark, with most countries, the US included, participants in treaties that protect those marks.
same with Champagne and a few other protected names.
all scotch is whiskey, but not all whiskey is scotch sort of thing.
he is essentially just creating hard liquor with aging characteristics as I see it. He could technically create any new name to differentiate his product and make it more marketable as the other protected names have done.
This is the part that bothers me most. A lot of small deliveries are convenient and all, but the cost to ship multiple small items (maybe separately) to your door has an impact.
We are currently in a single-serve consumer-focused environment and this takes it a step farther.. potentially a single item shipment environment.
Unless they batch days or a full week, I think this is a bad habit to get in.
dont sell yourself short eg "its a bit confusing".
the only thing this may do is preface your delivery with a confusing expectation.
let them decide!
I fell into this same trap when I started pitching potential investors one-one due to lack of confidence/experience. "I'm not a very good presenter but here is [my awesome product]" they told me to stop saying that. It only hurts you.
