Well, it is. But I thought this Twitter thread was both interesting and relevant here for reasons:
A anecdote that’s always stuck with me is a McDonald’s franchise owner who was asked what separates well-run McDonald’s from the bad ones.
He said it’s all about the bathrooms. Well maintained/cleaned bathrooms are everything.
Find your toilets in life and clean them. 🚽

This meta thread in response is also worth reading:
There’s a literal version of this and a deep thoughts version. A middling one which is underconsidered: bathrooms are a proof-of-work. So much has to be right about an organization to deliver a clean bathroom consistently. *Anyone* can instantly assess success 99.8% accurately. https://t.co/Mgg7z6XOI8
