Did you mention not to put the coffee and donuts adjacent to the rest room door.

Clean is king! If you've ever worked for a Japanese company, their first rule of productivity is cleanliness. If the Pres. walks in and there is a piece of paper on the floor, everybody stops work until someone goes and picks it up. They're fanatics about cleanliness and it works. Your conscious mind might not notice it but your subconscious records it. Clean means the owners care about their business. You want that.

Praise God for clean restrooms. People laugh at us, but when traveling we look for HD dealerships because of clean Restrooms.

Congrats on the new to you bike!

Ride on

Indeed, how can one even start a thread like this without a photo?

I cant stand surveys. Last time I went to an HD dealer I begrudgingly gave the sales guy my phone number after he swore he would only call if the used model I was looking for showed up. Next day I get a call from a woman at the dealership asking how my experience was. I just said "this is why I dont go to dealers". She promised to remove my number without me saying another word.

Who the hell wants to spend time on the phone discussing their visit...hell, Ravinder at 7-11 never calls to make sure my Slurpee was refreshing.....ok rant over, Im starting to sound like Dickey.

it's the keystone of the "5-S" business model (Toyotas guiding principle, now followed by almost every Asian owned company).......which works really well unless you try to force it onto hillbillies & project thugs......
