Team aluminum all the way. A higher up where I work is obsessed with stainless steel, he gets these monstrous heavy duty tables made out of SS that hold objects 1/3 of their weight. Makes lab rearranging a nightmare lol.

If you really want to stop the stainless steel obsession, you could start cleaning the benches with bleach and not rinsing again afterwards. The corrosion will set in quickly.

Aluminum will stain, but it won't start rusting.

I'll just get a spray bottle of mercury and fuck your aluminium assface right up.

We seem to be at an impasse, my stainless steel ass face. How about a compromise: we return to asbestos!
