It’s frustrating when you walk into the bathroom of, let’s say, a Chipotle ( below, last night, 9/5/18 ) or Starbucks or McDonald’s – companies that should know better – and boom, just filth. Totally dirty. Employees not…caring? It’s not even the employees fault. This comes from much higher up. To me this is a cultural thing. Especially with Chipotle’s recent storms of food safety, its shocking they aren’t just totally on it. The floors are dirty and disgusting, paper all over the place. You can tell no one’s cleaned this bathroom for hours and who knows the last time floors were cleaned.
This isn’t easy. How do you clean floors during business hours? I don’t know, but you figure it out. Certainly the paper thing and the over flowing trash can be easily addressed – a quick, once per hour drive through and clean. And while I was in there, an employee sauntered in, used the rest room and walked out. No urgency.
I honestly can’t believe this isn’t more of an urgent matter. And to be honest – it’s such an easy thing to do, to at least try and master. Who said it – was it thefounder of McDonald’s or some CNBC profile of a master franchiser of McDonald’s ‘back east’…they said the first thing they look at to determine the health and “on it factor” – my phrase, not there’s – of a restaurant or location is to look at their bathrooms.
This is just a failure. And they aren’t the only ones. Starbucks, McDonald’s…etc. How can this not be a HUGE priority, esp for Chipotle?
