So they just eliminated the cupboard? They must not have a whole lot of dishes!

But really, it might just be that people use 20% of their dish-washable objects 80% of the time. So having 2 dish washers eliminate 80% of the labor of putting them in the cupboard because 80% will be gone in the other machine by the time you really have to fill the cupboards.
Then again, that's lazyness and I suspect the higher humidity of the dishwasher is an health issue.
