Gotta love the English prescriptivists who don't even bother to do their research. It's in the dictionary and has been for a few hundred years. 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.

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 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

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 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.

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.
