If they actually did their job at keeping the bathroom a few levels above disgusting it's one thing.

But, when the urinals are clogged with vomit, the toilet is over flowing and the stalls are out of TP - and they are just passing me a piece of paper towel? no thanks.

I actually started that thread under my previous account! lol I tried to find it using the search bar but it didnt work (I have never been successful with that thing)...

I don't tip the attendants unless I'm really drunk or just feeling in a good mood.

All they do is hand me a piece of paper towel that isn't even enough to dry my hands, I always have to ask for extra. When you can't even hand over a piece of paper towel properly, wtf makes you think you deserve a tip?

if they were only giving me a towel to dry my hands then i will not tip.
if they maintained the washroom and kept it clean throughout the night then i have no problem tipping them $1-2 each time i used the washroom (making sure i make a bit of a mess so their tip is worth it).

in the end i do not mind them. if they want to give me a towel and not get tipped then i have no problem with that. but they really are useless.

I always have to ask for a second piece too, that does get annoying...

Originally posted by Intangible 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'

I agree with most of that.

Guv is just unmanageable...but at other places, I like the idea of a permanent set of eyes in there. They aren't security and I don't expect them to be. They aren't "maintenance" and I don't expect them to be (but then call someone if 'shit' needs attention). Just that *someone* is in there seems to keep things in check moreso than they otherwise would be if no staff were in there.

as for tipping...I tip once during the night too.

Originally posted by cammaxwell 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?

that's why you asked for a looney..

on a more serious note, i went to this club on Friday..( i went to 3 so pick whichever you want), i usually give this guy a tip once a night. when i asked for paper towels since there wasnt any left, he basically didn't give a flying fuck..so guess what, No mo tip fo u!

i can't stand them. very rarely do they actually keep a bathroom clean and i am more than capable of grabbing my own paper towel, thanks. the one at footwork actually said to me "so how much $ are you going to give me?" are you fucking for real?!? for handing me a square of paper towel? give me a break! not to mention asking for a tip is beyond tacky.

Old thread, but what the hell.

Bathroom attendants are an annoyance, especially, as people have pointed out, when they don't really actively "attend", but I keep in mind that they have shitty enough jobs already, so being rude or stiffing them accomplishes nothing. And as far as club annoyances go, they are pretty minor.

I'll tip $2 the first time I see them, make some small talk, and that's it for the night. I think that's plenty; if 500 people use the bathroom and all tip $2, it's more than I make in a day. And if the other 499 people stiff, well, that's not exactly my problem.

There are much worse things we have to deal with at clubs. In my opinion, being expected to leave a $1 tip on a $5 drink that should have cost $2.50 or less is a far bigger insult. Those folks are livin' large; the bathroom attendant probably gets barely enough to pay the rent, and a few bucks isn't going to break the bank. Call it an act of charity.
