    In my experience, the “NO” figure should be bent over a bit more in order to project onto the wall behind the toilet as well as the ceiling above. No better memory of working retail than going up to my boss and explaining why I needed to know where the spare ceiling tiles were.

      Reminder to anyone still working retail: if your job description isn’t “janitor”, you don’t need to clean that up. It’s a biohazard and they can pay more expensive people with better equipment to do it.

        Reminder to you that bosses can and will ask you to do things that are not your job. And since you need money for rent and food, you will have to do it. Otherwise, they will probably get rid of you, and will find a plausible legal reason.

          No, you will not “have to do it”. Either they can afford to pay a qualified person to do it, or they can’t. If they can’t afford a more expensive person, they definitely can’t afford to fire you. You are the cheap one.

          Think about it: if they put themselves in this situation, they are going to end up cleaning it themselves. “Need money for rent and food”? If you have a crappy minimum wage job, you have the power. Literally no one above you wants to do your work. You can definitely tell them “no”. Do you think there’s some shortage of crappy minimum wage jobs?
