It depends on which country you’re in. Go to a place with a solid rich-poor divide and sufficiently low minimum wages and you’ll often find them massively overstaffed.

The (relatively small) gym I go to has about 4-6 cleaners on hand all day long. They just mooch about with not much to do.

For example, if you use the water fountain they’re often standing right behind you ready to dry it off afterwards… they’re just looking for things to do.

But they’re cheap, so why not have a whole team of them?
