It may take some times for Americans to get used to using a dispenser in the shower, but they're pretty common in some parts of Europe -- even in fairly high-end hotels. If it came down to it, I'd rather have a dispenser with high-quality bath products than mini bottles of something cheap.

For similar reasons, you'll probably see hotels trying to move to more bath gels and body washes rather than bar soaps too.
