Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
BUSINESS SEGMENTS BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
The Company manages and evaluates its business activities based on geography and, as a result, determined that its United States and Canada businesses are its operating segments. The United States and Canada operating segments both provide a full range of uniform programs, restroom supply services and first-aid and safety products, as well as ancillary items such as floor mats, towels and linens. The Company’s operating segments are also its reportable segments. Corporate includes administrative expenses not specifically allocated to an individual segment. The chief operating decision maker (the Chief Executive Officer) evaluates the performance of its reportable segment, based primarily on segment operating income, and uses this information to make strategic decisions and to allocate resources. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1.
