Elimination Notes

Dining out is a human treat, with a dim caveat: public restrooms--unless you can hold it. Often I'm unable. In the process I'm not only delighted by convenience but equally so when I find little notes of explanation for subpar, underperforming facilities.

Please hold handle down until bowl empties. Thanks, Mgmt.

It is good that the management has signed this toilet missive. Otherwise we would be unsure of it's authenticity and might do something even worse to the bowl than empty it. Is there anyone who still needs to know whom these letters are from? Isn't it implicit?

They remain over and over signed by the management, as a qualifier. You are safe in thinking that no, that the table across from you isn't playing a unfunny joke on you. No. We are satisfied knowing this is from a known entitiy, the management. Faceless and authoritarian. And, paralyzingly cheap: hence the note itself.
