Episode Title: The Bathroom Test: Why Clean Restrooms Sell More Food (Episode 75)

Episode Description: "They are deciding if your hot dogs are safe to eat based on the smell of your restroom."

In the convenience store business, the bathroom is not a side project; it is the ultimate indicator of your store's culture. In this episode of Dive, Mike Hernandez breaks down the psychology of "The Bathroom Test" and explains why a dirty restroom directly kills your high-margin food sales.

What You Will Learn:

The Psychology of Clean: Why a customer connects the cleanliness of the toilet to the safety of the roller grill.

The 15-Minute Sweep: How to prevent the bathroom from spiraling out of control during a busy shift.

The Restaurant Analogy: Mike shares why he judges his favorite burger and cheesesteak spots by their restrooms, and why your customers do the exact same thing to your store.
