As a former restaurant manager I wonder when they will start to use a non-slip flooring surface. I worked in a Wendy's and several pizza restaurants and the floors were always smooth tile. Easy to mop but they became slippery as glass when wet.

I was at a Carabbas recently and saw 3 employees and 1 customer slip on some spilled iced tea. I saw the spill & 1 person slipped before they had a chance to mop it up. The three others slipped before it was fully dry. The spill happened right where tile & carpet came together & I don't think people were anticipating the change in footing.

What's needed in so many areas is better design. When you combine a greasy atmosphere, a smooth tile floor and any amount of moisture you'll have a fall and most likely a claim.
