Ok, so my friend and I were talking about this over the weekend and I thought I would ask everyone's opinion on this. We were discussing the bathroom attendants that seem to be in most of the clubs these days and we had very different views on it.

He said he hates them, and hates to feel obligated to tip them for just handing over a piece of paper towel. He also said that becasue he never does tip them, that they tend to give him attitude if he's a regular.

I on the other hand don't really mind it at all. I also don't mind giving them a tip, although I don't do that everytime I enter the bathroom. I probably end up giving them $4-$5 a night which isn't bad, especially if I pick up a piece of gum or something from the stuff they lay out.

Now, I have heard from some female friends that they've had problems with the female attendants. Attitude and stuff like that mostly, but apparently it's gotten pretty ugly.

Anyway, your thoughts TA?

bathroom attendants in toronto are uber useless. They stand there all night and pass you a piece of paper. They dont even attend the bathrooms as they are filthy and nasty. Isnt that the point of them in the first place?

In Europe if and when they have the attendants they have a bucket and mop and the bathroom is clean. Sometimes paying is mandatory but at least you are getting what you pay for.

As for concessions, a vending machine would solve that.

Shocked to say I fully agree.

If all they do is give me a piece of paper (which sometimes I just reach for on my own), I don't tip them. They haven't really done anything for me.

If I'm going to use any of the stuff they've put out though, I tip them. It's only fair because it is the stuff that THEY have purchased, it's not just for people to take freely. That's how they make money. Just think, if they're working as a bathroom attendant, they likely need the money. So IMO, don't use their stuff if you don't plan on tipping them.

Personally, I've never had a problem with the bathroom attendants. All of them have either been quite pleasant or have said nothing at all.

If it's a classy club for the 25+ crowd and the bathrooms are elegant, then I don't mind. It's nice to have classy service if I come to a classy place.

Having them at the guv main room, and small clubs where the walls' plaster if falling apart or any club where the bathroom looks less modern or less clean than mine, it's a very annoying cash-grab.

There should be paper towels available to patrons as an option, and not hoarded by the attendants.

I hate it. I always tip if I have a dollar on me but sometimes you don't and then you feel like an ass. I can get my own soap and towels.

IMO Bathroom attendents should be keeping an eye on the room and making sure people dont get too rowdy/do illegal things. They should also be keeping the place *clean* (dealing with clogged toilets and such).

IMO that should be their main job.

At Guv, they fail at this.

At FW shes pretty good at keeping the place clean.


I will not tip based on the fact that she gave me a paper towel - I can do that on my own. But at the end of the night I sometimes hand over a few coins and thank her for 'holding down the fort'
