When I worked at Subway as a teenager in the early 90s in Seattle... our manager was the owner. He was a real stickler for bathroom cleanliness. The bathrooms were inspected and tidied up every hour, and cleaned every 4 hours. He always threatened to fire "the whole team" if he ever stopped by and found a bathroom that he would feel "embarrassed to have his mother use." (I don't think he ever fired anyone, he would just call you over and make you re-do something if it wasn't done right. Honestly he was a really good boss for a kid to have.)
I think there's been a big shift away from the franchise owners being the day-to-day managers, and they just hire someone and near-minimum wage to be the manager now. Gut feeling on it anyway. Doesn't feel like anyone who works there cares or takes any personal pride in the cleanliness of the bathrooms. (Ha, is this what getting old feels like?)
