    Actually, I used to be a janitor, and you’re wrong.

    Janitors have free access to the building, including to rooms with sensitive equipment and papers, when no one is around, and have the ability to steal shit, perform industrial espionage, destroy equipment, and otherwise completely fuck over their employers if they so choose. That’s why you have to have credit checks, background checks and sometimes even security clearances before you can get a lot of janitorial jobs.

    Plus if the janitor doesn’t do their job and leaves the place a mess, the salesperson can’t invite the client in and make that sale. They could go out to a restaurant, but that further drives up costs.

    So it’s not in actual fact that simple.
