The Busboy Looks After the Bathroom

Cleaning the bathroom and emptying its trash are the busboy's jobs now. A server only takes one when the busboy is busy.
If the busboy frees up while the server is still on the way, the server hands the job back and returns to the floor.
Over 40 games of 15 minutes each, busboys now spend about 348 seconds on bathroom chores and servers about 19, where it used to be 299 and 74. Throughput didn't change: about 61 guests served and 9% lost.
In the before shot (100), a server cleans the bathroom while the busboy stands idle. In the after shot (101), the busboy cleans while a server is free for the dining room.
The animated clip (112, recorded on v0.0.50) follows the busboy: he takes his turn at the bathroom door, cleans (the puddle goes), and leaves.
