On why automatic soap dispensers are my new enemy

One of the most amazing things about PT is how it makes people poop.  I mean, you get somebody up and walking that doesn't walk very much and things get moving (and I'm not talking about their legs).  With so much pooping, I have one very important question.  No, it's not why everybody's poop smells the same (same food?  same medicine?), though I do wonder.  What I want to know is why they would install automatic soap and paper towel dispensers in bathrooms that would clearly be used by those over the age of 65.  Why do I wonder this?  Because this is what I deal with all day:

I feel like I'm trapped in the first 30 minutes of 2001 space odyssey.

It's in the computer?!

Eventually I procure the magical soap and give it to them.  I understand the need for sanitation in health facilities.  And I understand that having a soap dispenser that doesn't require touching is important for decreasing the spread of germs.  But, for the time it wastes in my day I think it would be worth taking another look into the matter.  I mean, they end up touching the entire dispenser anyways.  There might as well be a button.
