This is really gross but really important. Walk into your customer bathroom (W)right now. Take a piece of toilet paper, get it wet and drag it along the floor a few inches from the base of the toilet (just as I did in the caption picture, at this auto repair shop in Des Moines). If it comes up dirty, your business is losing business.

As for your employee bathroom? It should be just as clean if not cleaner than your customer bathroom. Treat your employees like your best customers.
