Omigosh, thank you for that, Dan... I really needed a laugh today. (Though it probably wasn't a laugh for y'all at the time...)<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello:</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Fun times in Seaside. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Part of our morning protocol is to test the touchless hand sanitizing dispensers. Oddly, neither machine was functioning this morning.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">We switched out the C batteries. Still not working. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Hurm...<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">In the past, we had several new boxes of worthless/expired C batteries. Maybe we were putting bad batteries back into the machines?*</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Our office hand soap dispensers are also touchless and run on C batteries. Oddly, neither of the hand soap dispensers were working this morning, either.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">What are the odds? Infinitesimal.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">After trying every battery in the building, we made a special trip to Rite-Aid for fresh, fancy, Duracell C batteries.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Even with Duracells, all four dispensers still not working!!!</div>
<div dir="ltr"><i><br>
</i></div>
<div dir="ltr"><i>(Insert foul language here).</i></div>
<div dir="ltr"><i><br>
</i></div>
<div dir="ltr">To make a long story longer....we miraculously deduced that the touchless laser switches do not respond to jet-black nitrile gloves.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Both persons attempting to fix the machines were wearing black gloves. The batteries didn't need replacement. The gloves needed replacement.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Fun fact: they work just fine with blue gloves.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Don't be like Seaside. Test your soap and sanitizer machines without black gloves.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">TLDR,</div>
