a request on behalf of the presbyopic

Hermés amenities at Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel

Four Seasons has been an innovator in the hotel industry, and founder Isadore Sharp implemented many new ideas — including those small bottles of bathroom amenities that are now ubiquitous. Part of the allure of a luxury hotel stay is the chance to use Bulgari, L'Occitane, Guerlain, or other luxury bath products. Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel, provides amenities from Hermés!

But here's a request on behalf of the presbyopic (a fancy word essentially meaning ... those who need to wear reading glasses): Who wears reading glasses in the shower? Housekeeping always puts small bottles of shower gel, shampoo, lotion, and conditioner in the shower, but it's impossible (for me) to read the small print on the bottles. The solution is simple, really, to use large enough print so that the presbyopic can actually tell which bottle is which! Or maybe add a single large letter — G for gel, S for shampoo, C for conditioner, and L for lotion — on each bottle.

A simple request that should be quite simple to implement!
