What is the purpose of the little tiny sink on the left?
Emergency back up sink when you fill other one up with dirty crap. Designed to make you panic and hopefully do something about the real sink. I’ve always hated double sink designs. They just use a bunch of extra space that could have been more sink.

No, it’s an insinkerater - it’s got a mechanical spinning/bludgeoning device (sorry for the crude imagery!) that reduces leftovers and carrot stubs and the like to a fine meal so it can go down the drain.

I think it’s better than in the rubbish, was the thinking? Still not as good as compost, admittedly

Yes but you don’t need separate sink for that.
I hear you - I don’t know why it’s never been in the main sink. I’ve just never seen it like that…

It’s not a separate sink, it’s a dual-chambered sink, it’s one big sink with a raised bit in the middle

The real reason for separate sink areas is that one is for un-dirtying them (this side has the disposal usually) and the other side for rinsing

Commercial sinks are usually 3-chambered (rinse, wash, sanitize)
