I know this advice can apply both ways to many situations, "if you're a small business owner, don't cheap out on X, and if you're X, don't cheap out on toilets", but I feel this particular scenario deserves particular emphasis.

Having a reliable working toilet that rarely requires maintenance is a godsend for a business owner, especially a high traffic one. The usual wisdom about quality goods costing less in the long run goes double for toilets.

I replaced my crappy builder grade toilets with better ones and they were worth every penny.
