I've never understood this about public bathrooms. I don't need my soap dispenser to be automatic since I only use it when I'm going to be washing my hands already.

It's weird to see automatic soap dispensers but manual "hand pump" paper towel dispensers.

The soap dispenser is automatic because in theory it reduces the amount of soap used. Except for the ones built into the sink which try to shoot soap at you while you’re rinsing, and it becomes a game to dodge it.

Many things are over engineered just because.

Throw a battery in it, hell, just throw a chip in it.

In most cases (Most cases) analog Trumps digital.
