Voting With Your Feet

For those of us in Office Country or Cubicle Land that have an influence on customers, guests, visitors, etc. I have one question for you:

What is your organizations, business or non-profits "dirty dining room"?

In the world of Restaurants, most people vote with their feet when they visit an establishment that lacks care for cleanliness. Sure, some patrons make a comment to an employee or the manager, but most just don't return. Dining room and bathroom cleanliness is most likely on the restaurants core values list, but lower than the value of something like quality food.

In search of quality food, most diners will complain over a bad meal because they perceive they are paying for quality food and not necessarily cleanliness.

Some thoughts:
  • So your customers/guests pay for a main service or product. Your customers may be thrilled with that or at least willing to tell you when they are not. What is your company's "dirty dining room" that they may not be informing you about?
  • Are your employees holding this "dirty dining room" to their standards, yours, OR the customers?
  • Does your organization have a good avenue for customers/guests to voice their opinions about the "quality food" and "dining room cleanliness" or other values your company considers when marketing their product/service and building repeat business?

Revisiting the Toilet Seat Position

For those of us in an office area (or at home) with a unisex bathroom, the toilet seat debate is a constant one. Remember that the seat is different from the lid.
Spittle on the seat. Men putting the seat up and down or not. Women falling in. Massive displeasure all around for those who have to touch the seat.
I have visited this before, but now I am taking a survey.

What do you do?
