Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 27, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company's business activities and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
New Accounting Standard Updates	New Accounting Standards Updates Adopted Standards In March 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") which provided clarification regarding three issues related to the lease recognition standard. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 when the lease accounting standard was adopted. See below for further discussion regarding the impact of this standard. In July 2018, the FASB issued two ASUs regarding the lease recognition standard. The guidance provided clarification on issues identified regarding the adoption of the standard, provided an additional transition method to adopt the standard and provided an additional practical expedient to lessors. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 when the lease accounting standard was adopted. See below for further discussion regarding the impact of this standard. In July 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which clarifies, corrects errors in or makes minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The guidance was effective for the Company either upon issuance or in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, depending on the amendment. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the amendments that were effective upon issuance of the guidance. The Company adopted the remaining amendments of the pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which allows for the reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not elect to reclassify the stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. In September 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to provide additional implementation guidance with respect to the revenue recognition standard and the lease accounting standard (see below). The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 with respect to the revenue recognition standard and in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with respect to the lease accounting standard. The Company adopted the revenue related portions of this standard in conjunction with the revenue recognition standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The lease related portions of this standard were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 in conjunction with the lease recognition standard. See below for further discussion regarding the impact of the lease accounting provisions related to this standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as operating lease liabilities with corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets and to disclose key information about lease arrangements. Recognition of expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income continues in a manner similar to previous guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on September 28, 2019 (first day of fiscal 2020). In connection with the new lease guidance, the Company completed a comprehensive review of its lease arrangements in order to determine the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company identified and implemented appropriate changes to business processes, controls and systems to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842 (“ASC 842” or the "new lease standard") using the modified retrospective transition approach with an adjustment that recognized "Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets," "Current operating lease liabilities" and "Noncurrent Operating Lease Liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on September 28, 2019. Comparative period information and disclosures were not revised as a result of the recognition and measurement of leases. Adoption of the new lease standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease liabilities and associated operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $416.1 million and $558.5 million, respectively, as of September 28, 2019 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The operating lease right-of-use assets includes adjustments for deferred rent, tenant improvement allowances and prepaid rent, including $166.9 million of long-term prepaid rent associated with certain leases at client locations. There was no material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a result of adoption. See Note 8 for further information on the impact of adopting the new lease standard. Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance) In December 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which simplifies the accounting for income taxes and clarifies and amends existing income tax guidance. Impacted areas include intraperiod tax allocations, interim period taxes, deferred tax liabilities with outside basis differences, franchise taxes and transactions which result in the "step-up" of goodwill. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In November 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification and improvements to existing guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments standard. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 when the credit losses on financial instruments standard is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In May 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides the option to irrevocably elect to apply the fair value measurement option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain financial instruments within the scope of the credit losses on financial instruments standard. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 when the credit losses on financial instruments standard is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In April 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification, error corrections and improvements to existing guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments ASU issued in June 2016, the derivatives and hedging ASU issued in August 2017 and the financial instruments ASU issued in January 2016. The guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments ASU and the financial instruments ASU will be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company adopted the guidance related to derivatives and hedging in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the remaining amendments of this standard. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension plans. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to account for expected credit losses on financial instruments including trade receivables. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income (loss), changes in foreign currency translation adjustments (net of tax), pension plan adjustments (net of tax), changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax) and changes to the share of any equity investees' comprehensive income (loss) (net of tax).
Other Assets	Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of costs to obtain or fulfill contracts, including rental merchandise in-service, long-term receivables, investments in 50% or less owned entities, computer software costs and employee sales commissions. For investments in 50% or less owned entities, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the Company measures these investments at cost due to the lack of readily available fair values related to these investments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows: • Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets • Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument • Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio, the gross values would not be materially different.
