One Person in the Bathroom at a Time

Only one person can be in the bathroom at a time, guests and staff alike. Everyone else waits in a line that starts just outside the door (I2 in the default layout) and runs along the wall. The line is worked out from wherever the door is, so it follows the bathroom if the layout changes.
Guests show "WAITING FOR RESTROOM" while in line. Staff show "WAITING TO CLEAN BATHROOM" or "WAITING TO EMPTY BATHROOM TRASH", then "CLEANING BATHROOM" or "EMPTYING BATHROOM TRASH" while they work, then "LEAVING BATHROOM" as they step out.
The bathroom now needs cleaning after 10 uses, instead of getting messy at random while the restaurant is open.
Fixed: the busboy could get stuck in the bathroom. After cleaning it he had nowhere to go, so he stood inside it. He now waits by the dirty-dish bin when idle.
In the screenshot, the busboy is cleaning the bathroom and a guest is walking to the front of the line.
The animated clip (109, recorded on v0.0.50) shows a guest, ringed, waiting at the bathroom door until the guest inside comes out, then going in.
