I love grammar debates. I really do. They please me when I see ppl get high and mighty about a point only to discover later they are wrong. lol


Knowing (correct/proper) grammar rocks. Love being a grammar Nazi at work.

i see no point in having them and i refuse to tip them. i can wash my own hands and grab my own paper towel - i'm not 2 years old.

the chick at TIL freaks me out. she's always running after me and asking me if i want hand lotion. half the time i have to run away from her.

I tip if i have change and they don't annoy me.

i find it really hard to believe they bother anybody. you don't use anything you don't pay. you do, u leave what you want. how is a guy willingly doing a really shitty job a bother????????????

anybody who goes to a party and let's someone standing in a bathroom trying to provide a service bother them to the point where it's an issue is a pushover... i was hoping to hear some crazy story of a desperate bathroom attendant tackling and faceplanting someone who swiped a cologne bottle.... that would be much better urnial entertainment than those little ads to look at

Originally posted by malek I hate it when they take all the paper from the paper dispensing machine and expect us to tip them after taking some from them. Its like they take the paper hostage Big FU, I wash my hand and don't dry them thats all.

LOL

i know eh... that really pisses me off too.

I don't see the problem with them being there. I kind of find some of the comments weird here. People guilt-trip themselves into giving money, then get pissed off. WTF?
For me, if I use any of their services, I'll tip half the time, and half the time I won't. I just don't have/don't feel the need to tip every single time I'm in the washroom.

Originally posted by DannyPINK Be nice to your local bathroom attendant! They provide a service for you and the clubs... Just think, you forgot to put on deoderant... or you want a piece of gum... or you just met this girl and u wanna smell nice for her... or whatever. The bathroom attendants are there with everything you need. And get it through your heads that you don't have to always tip them. If you're not using their stuff you don't have to give them money. It's like thinking you have to give money to a homeless person every time you see one... It's just not possible. But if you have the extra change, why not.

+1

I agree with Shelley and Lisa too!

I dunno how they put up with smelling other ppl shit all night, especialy @ Guv all the toilets are clugged with shit by 3am *barf*

I dunno how people even take craps in there to begin with. Even if I paid 100 cover. I would never shit in their toilets. I'd rather leave and do it at home.

they're alright

I think the bathroom attendants are mostly cool. The one at footwork is awesome ("I'm still livin', mon!") and everyone knows Ahmed @ Gallery. They add the character of the scene in a positive way, and yeah, when i need gum, or some pleasant smells to deal with the serious dancing I've been doing, they are there for us. I have no issue tipping them for the extras; i typically don't tip for the hand towel stuff unless they've been extra nice and I've enjoyed the conversation. I'd hate to see them go. There's one at zone though who is extra pushy about tips, in the bathroom by the patio entrance...and i just plain avoid that bathroom. Can't be pushy at all when relying on tips. Learn some customer service man! brutal.

I give the guy $2 at the beginning of the night and then more if I take gum or get deodorant from dood.

I don't mind paying the guy for soap service, towels or anything else. $2 added onto a night isn't going to break the bank and the guy usually remembers me and says "hi" and makes the bathroom more fun - so why not?

I wonder how much further this tipping business will get.

I usually don't give em anything cause they don't do anything for me. Gum I can get from my friends for free. Cologne is pointless cause a) everyone else stinks anyway b) you'll be back to stinktown within 30 minutes anyway, so unless you keep re-applying cologne every 30 minutes, it's kind of pointless, c) Eau Du Guv is a much much stronger scent than any cologne, and d) it's understandable if after a night of clubbing you don't smell your best because of a, b,and c. And paper towels? In the rare case that I use them (you're going back into a sweaty hot club, what's the point of keeping your hands dry?), I'm certainly not paying for them. I don't really know why the club put them there, and I'm not required to pay their salary.

there have been many times where ive overheard the women's bathroom attendant in the gallery ask/nag people for tips by rambling about her hard/poor life. its uncomfortable and a buzzkill. attendants shouldn't pressure people for tips.

I personally know some people who during the week work @ shopper's drug mart as cosmeticans and then on weekends or certian nite's they work @ C Lounge in the washroom helping girls with their make up.


They actually do get paid by the Club.

I notice he's also got a page dedicated to the use of the word "impact" as a verb, decrying it as pretentious business jargon and apparently not realizing that the word was in use as a verb for nearly 200 years before it was ever used as a noun. Granted, "theirselves" is not in common use, and I wouldn't use it in an important report precisely because I wouldn't want people reading it and thinking to themselves, "is that even a word?" But really, if you're going to criticize, do your own homework first, and try to make sure your information is coming from a reputable source.

Hmmm, I posted the first result I got when I googled "theirselves"... so sorry about that.

I recently bought a pair of sunglasses from the bathroom attendant in the comfort zone.

Originally posted by me@t k@tie I only tip them if I take gum or candy from them (which I rarely do).

YUP..ME TOO, honestly i dont know why their there either, i can choose whether i want to dry my hands or not, maybe their there to make sure there are no fights?..i dunno

More people complain about dirty washrooms without attendants rather than clean ones with attendants. They are there for several reasons but mainly to keep them clean and as a drug deterrent. It's for the safety of the customers and is not a cash grab for the club. You are not expected to tip the staff and if you are ever harassed, please let management know.

And that's the truth!

That's the more polite version of what I mean't to say.

^5!

Originally posted by teufel-man bathroom attendants also wash the bathroom????? maybe the sink area but i dont think they wash n e thing else..... i think they would be 100 times more useful if their job was to clean the bathroom.... but then they woul just be a janitor

yes they do clean the bathrooms.

they provide toilet paper when it's out.

they do all that, at least in the girls rooms and at sonic.

and i tip at the end of the night cuz that's when i am generous.

!!

the guy at Film-Lounge was always realy polite.

Oh i dont let that bother me.

When I get the story, i just say "Hah that sucks" and just leave.

Other people's lives are NOT my problem. I didnt put them in whatever situation they are in. They did it themselves...so i couldn't care less about their problems.
