NU6 by ALT Disposable Toilet Seats, STR Regis

The Ateneo Graduate School of Business Advantage The Missing Toilet Seats Another thing that pisses me off in public CRs especially in malls are the missing toilet seats. I believe that these are intentionally removed so that it requires no maintenance. But for me who's very conscious on the various diseases that one can harbor in using public toilets, it is essential that these toilet seats, together with cleaned and sanitized CR facilities should be strictly implemented. But somehow, we can't blame the owners of these facilities because most of the reasons for the missing toilet seats are due to improper use. Instead of replacing the damaged seats, it is much better to leave it that way. Most of public CRs have vending machines where one can buy tissue and sanitary napkins. I happen to know from this one famous young actress that she always brought with her a disposable toilet seat cover that is shaped the same as that of a toilet seat. The material is the almost the same as a tissue paper but thicker. It also has antibacterial properties. There are manufacturers of this disposable toilet seats. What is probably lacking is that these should be distributed in areas accessible to the user such as public CRs. Using disposable toilet seats minimizes the incident of hands having direct contact with the rim of the toilet bowl. Wiping tissue paper or wet ones increases the probability of contracting diseases. Though the best way is still proper hand washing and sanitizing after CR breaks, whether with or without toilet seats. 4

NU6 by ALT, Waterproofing Barcodes of Fresh Produce, STR Reg

The Unreadable Barcode Nowadays, mall supermarkets are very competitive when it comes to their fresh section. Gone are the days when meat, fish, poultry and vegetables are not as fresh as their ordinary public wet market counterparts. Prices at the supermarkets and supermarket malls are now almost the same as outside especially if the brands they carry are their own house brands. I am one of those who benefit from the convenience of shopping for fresh items in an air-conditioned and clean area, and could dine and recreate with my family after. But there is this one thing that pisses me off when buying fresh produce in the supermarket malls: the unreadable barcode!!! I am a busy person and time is very important. Fast and agile service is what I always look for in a particular establishment.  In supermarket malls, fresh produced are either pre-weighed or you can choose and have it weighed by the crews there. A barcode is placed on each weighed product bearing the price/kg, actual weight and actual price. When already at the counter to have my items calculated, most of the barcodes that are not readable by the scanner came from the fresh produce. The cashier will then input the barcode numbers one by one and this is of course slows down the calculating process. I've noticed that the missed readings are rampant on wet items such as fresh meat (poultry, pork, beef and fish). There are also noted missed barcode readings in vegetables, though not that wet compared to meat, but still moisture from the vegetables is affecting the barcode reading efficiency. To address this issue, the paper used for printing barcode stickers should be waterproof. I believe this is the one that is causing the missed readings. Paper companies may develop a smudge free and waterproof paper for barcode stickers.3
