Yesterday I went down to our office building's cafe/deli to get lunch....I decided to get a salad from the salad bar. However, while making my salad, I experienced one of the annoyances for tall people. I am 5'8" tall without shoes and with any sort of heel, I am about 5'10" or so. That is pretty tall for a woman, but pretty average for men. 
Anyway, salad bars are clearly made for shorter people and, of course, built with the sneeze guard (or whatever they call it now) for obvious health reasons and I am totally for that. However....for those of us that are tall, it becomes a contortion act in order to reach the tongs/buckets in the back of the one-sided salad bar when that glass sneeze-guard is in the way. My arms are only SO long! Plus, then you are reaching way into the salad bar and usually there are spills near the front of the salad bar, so you are leaning into spills. And then your purse falls off your shoulder and that shakes your arm, which causes you to spill something while reaching in the back of the salad bar for the shredded carrots! UGH!
To salad bar equipment manufacturers: Please make them taller! We as a people are getting taller and shoes are being made with a lot higher heels, so get with the program!
Who's with me?!

The salad bar is annoying for me b/c I always feel like my boobs are getting in the front salad when I lean into it.
Basically, everyone should be ordering pizza!
