That's for sure, you almost need a come-along winch to get that last sucker in place.
California is literally, sick to death, with Liberalism.
It's a real tragedy what they've done to that beautiful state. Maybe they should change their state flag:

Its not a done deal yet, but lawmakers in Sacramento want a new law that would force all California hotels to start using 'fitted sheets.'
The law, is designed to cut back on hotel health problems for maids.
Supporters of the law - claim many of the injuries are preventable - if hotels started using fitted sheets and made other changes in the work load for hotel maids.
The California State Senate has passed a bill proposed by Sen. Kevin de Leόn (D-Los Angeles) that would help prevent or reduce housekeeper injuries.
"A representative of the hotel industry, led by the California Hotel and Lodging Assn., told a Senate Committee that if SB 432 passes, California hotels will have to spend an additional $15 million or more to buy fitted sheets to replace the sheets for 550,000 beds at $25 per sheet. "
The natural hemp cloth now in use on the mattress cover may seem a bit rough at first but once our customers get used to it it's really very natural and does a wonderful job of holding the straw in place.
Plus with the new marijuana law there is a surplus of hemp plants available for recycling.
Our maids will be distributing a flier explaining how you may turn your own mattress if you find it needs it.
The Management”
Nurses had to square the corners also.
I remember those hospital corners in the army. I also remember working as a maid to get through the summer quarter at college. In basic training the mattresses were skinny, flimsy and light weight - easy to lift and quickly shove the unfitted sheet under it and tightly around the corners. Now imagine doing that in thirty rooms a day, each having two Monster-sized (extra king size), thick, downy-topped very heavy mattresses with four corners each to lift. It’s not the wrists... It’s lifting those darn 240 bed corners every day!! But anyway, which cheap-skate CA hotels are they that AREN’T putting the more sanitary fitted sheets on their beds these days. I’m not staying there.
I never had ‘fitted sheets’ when I made my bunk in Basic Training. I had to learn to make hospital corners, and bounce a quarter off of the blanket.
Your comment makes sense. Unfortunately, we are dealing here with government.
I’ll check it out, because I am interested, but I seem to remember that was the rationale.
Found this article, from the hotel point of view.

But I did not sheet the dep-u-tee...
You do make sense, but it should be up to the hotelier....
Those hefty mattresses come with hefty price tags for fitted sheets.
And hotels are sheeting all the blankets now making even more mad work...(because they don’t wash the blankets between customers-eew) And don’t get me started on the quilts on top-eew! Those aren’t washed either at a per customer frequency. I stayed at a hotel in NJ a couple of weeks ago where the quilt on top was stuffed in a sheet pocket too - even more work for the maids.
Fitted sheets are the least sanitary concern in a hotel.
Don’t forget to tip your maids
(I maid-ed during a semester in college too - many moons ago:>)
The price of hotel rooms will obviously go up accordingly to amortize the costs of the fitted sheets.
I say to business owners and companies...just tell them to screw off and rebel! They have no right to make demands that hurt businesses. The LA county has demanded that some local stores not use plastic bags any longer, so we are now being charged for paper bags as customers. At what point do people, hard working people just rebel! What are we, a bunch of sheep led to a slow death?
This fitted sheet thing is a case in point. Has the idiot who wrote this thing ever made a bed in his life? The nice thing about fitted sheets is NOT that they are easier to put on or take off. They actually take longer to put on. Their attraction lies in the fact that they stay in place better and look neater in situations where the linen is NOT changed every day.
Putting on fitted sheets may be faster and easier for new employees, but any man or woman who has done this work in a hotel or motel for more than a month can strip and remake a bed with neat hospital corners in less time than it would take for him/her to go to each corner of a fitted sheet, manually disengage the sheet, then put the new sheet on. They're going to hate the things
And as far as your point, plastic vs. paper, it wasn't too long ago when the environmentalists were pushing plastic as a way to save the trees. What happened there? Now they want to ban plastic and make everyone bring their own shopping bag -- except, opps, that can spread E-coli and other nasties...
You're right. We do need to rebel. This is beyond ridiculous
A monument to overacting - the grunting was a nice touch.
Let us all pause to shed a tear for the crippled Mattress Martyrs.
I thought libtards wanted the gov’t out of our beds!
yup, rebellion will take place when it all falls apart and the hordes come after us in our homes. It is satan’s plan. But we will be ready.
Unless they’re in the SEIU. Then the more union members in your bed, the better.
These fools have it all wrong! Of course.
These sheets, long been an irritation of design. The bottom sheet needs only ONE elastic corner - not four! That said , have only to consider the folding, pairing (one top/one bottom) and the folding and bulkier storage.
Oh yes; this will cost money and time...which costs more money.
. California is literally, sick to death, with Liberalism. Give it Last Rights; and be done with it.
