I own my own business so I have access to restaurant wholesale clubs such as Restaurant Depot. They sell really cheap hand soap that is available for about $3 a gallon. Since most people cannot get into one of the wholesale places without owning a business, I have been investigating and found that some Sam's Clubs sell the same thing for about the same price but it may look generic to the untrained eye. Very fine restaurants use the pink hand soap as it smells good and has moisturizers and is usually antibacterial. So, if you check BJ's, Costco, or Sam's and see gallon jugs of "Pink Hand Soap," know that it is not generic but usually just geared toward wholesale customers so they advertise less on the label.
