Did you know that you can make three grand a night working in pub toilets.
How do you get a job doing that?

It's true. So should I just go round pubs looking for a job doing that?

RobertFoster

It's a pretty meaningless job tbh. Are you meant to take the stick of chewing gum and the euro coin that's in the ashtray beside the sinks, or are they tips? I'm not going to tip someone for turning on the tap/hand dryer for me.

only works if you're an illegal immigrant.

Three grand sounds a bit optimistic but I reckon there is very good money to be made in the popular bars in town. Anytime I'm having a píss they guy is tipped around five times. And all the coins sound like €1 or €2 being dropped into the ashtray. Now it takes 3 or 4 mins to have a piss, wash hands, etc. That means they must be making an average of 1.50 a minute, €90 an hour...tax free!!

Fair play to them I say, if people are stupid enough to hand you €2 for giving them a paper towel to dry their hands then you deserve it.

Saw this on the other thread and wondered what hat he managed to pull that figure from. Now it's used as a valid source on this one? Reminds me of the "journalism" in the first Gulf War, news agencies reporting stories and quoting other news agencies as the source :rolleyes:

I'd rarely tip as I tend to find them quite rude... one bathroom I was in, the guy had baracaded the cubicles with mops and wouldn't remove the baracade until you gave him a few quid.

The lads in Stingfellow's are really sound though.

I saw a guy sitting on top of a stool with his legs across the sink babbling on his mobile,when i went to wash my hands i had to lean across him and then he started pushing a liquid soap dispensor in front of me talking on his phone the whole time,incredibly annoying.

Well In fairness, he's on a lot less than he should be considering he can fit 33 hours into one day.:)





€3000/€90 ph = 33.33 hrs.(just in case anyone missed it.

TBH, in the UK they give you aftershave, and mouthwash etc if you need it, they also have gum and other stuff too. I normally give £1.00 but sometimes I don't have change/bother or I get rid of my crappy small change.

(LOL at england under pressure in the football)

They do it in that Gay bar on Parliment st aftershaves etc

Degsy

They do it everywhere,even in crappy local bars!

Terry

i've figured it out.
the guys going into the bank with €8,000 are pimps. the people working in the toilets are getting hookers from them after work and paying with the change they're given.

Last time I was out in Galway they offered me aftershave, deo, gum, the whole works. Nice guys really. Gave them a euro if I remember correctly.

But thats just the problem isn't it. Half the people are so locked they don't even know or care what they are giving.

One night my mate got a splash of aftershave and threw some change in yer mans ashtray. He jumped up and demanded €2. My mate laughed and went to walk out by him but he put his arm across the door, shouting "€2". My mate pushed by him and was grabbed and shoved on the píssy floor. Yer man ran out and got the bouncers saying he was being robbed. Who got thrown out and their night ruined?
That just píssed me off. I dont want to hear from people saying they are not all the same- I know that.

The weird thing about all this is I've been able to wipe my arse and wash my hands all by myself for years now.

Name and shame. Luckily I don't see much of this down in Cork, maybe I just don't to "classy" enough pubs. God knows the Bróg could do with some flunkies spraying aftershave or air freshener around the place

It was Solar night club in Navan. We went next day to complain and were left waiting for ages so we went for pints instead. A bit stupid I know.

I think its good they are so locked they dont even care at least the dude attending the toilets gets a few bob for the **** he has to put up with..Many times on nights out in Galway when id have the car and wouldnt drink i would notice in the bathrooms people would be slagging off the bathroom attendent to their mates right in front of them.I dont want to start a whole new topic here but its generally a racist slur.So if the guy makes money outta pissed ignorant idiots then at least he gets the last laugh.

Yeah I've seen something like that too, some bloke got a spray of aftershave and the guy was demanding money. The bloke who took the spray was arguing that it was a tip and he didn't have to give it. The guy with the aftershaves was saying it was not a tip, you have to pay if you use his aftershaves. I didn't stick around to see the outcome.

I think it's reasonable to give something if you use his after shaves but this tipping when he hands you a paper towel, quite frankly (as Mr Pink would say), it's for the birds!!

HelterSkelter

BTW, does anyone know the deal behind how this operates? Do the bar pay the guy for watching & cleaning the jacks? Does he have to pay the bar a percentage of his tips? Is it some kind of protection racket?

i find them a godsend. before they arrived i used to crap in the urinal and piss in the sink. then i'd wash my hands in the toilet. without their guidance i'd be lost

Pigman II

I guess I sometimes forget that there are people out there less fortunate than myself.

If it makes you feel any better in the morning rush I usually end going out the door with my pants on my head and my shoes on my hands. My first meal of the day invaribly consists of catfood drenched in milk which I proceed to eat with a fork.

Why can't we get immigants who'll dress me and make my breakfast?

Siogfinsceal

id imagine you would make a bit drunk people get stupid they'd easily had ya money. They have them in teh local clubs and pubs I only give them money if I use something like the deodorant or hairspray. Otherwise I just wash my own hands and get my own paper towel. Paid enough into a club without having to pay to take a p*ss. As for the sweets - id need to be fairly drunk to eat sweets thats have been sat in a jacks all night

They are a stain upon society. I tend not to repeat my custom in places that have these ****ers. They tend not to be places I normally go anyway.

I never ever ever ever give them money. I don't want their crappy ****, and I don't want to be handed a paper towel. TBH going to the toilet should be as private an experience as possible. Any twat that gives them money is only encouraging them.

Do people shave in pub toilets? I've never seen it - why the **** would they need after-shave then? I guess most people have that at home anyway.

I was in the jacks of a pub one time,in the cubicle as it happened,next thing this head pops over the top of the door.I went out and asked him what the hell he was doing looking at a man taking a a crap and he went totally mad,started threatening me with a can of air freshner and ranting and raving,anyway,i took the can off him and told him to **** off whereupon he scremed that he was going to get me thrown out and yelling for the bouncers.What he did manage to do was attract a few people who he'd been pissing off all night including one who threatened to report him to immigration and so on.It was unbeleivable,i go for a crap in a toilet in a pub and next thing i'm being checked out by some bloke for god knows what reason and teh whole thing degenerates into a near riot.It would've been better for all concerned if yer man just hadnt been there in the first place.

Personally I think that they are something to be discouraged too. They promote racism and make people feel like they should pay for something which they really shouldn't need to pay for.

I propose one of the more militant amoung you organise a letter writing campaign to some of the larger pubs in town informing them that the irish people didn't ask for, and don't want this "service"

Course we dont,we're capable of going to the bog and washing our hands unassisted,its just another form of indirect taxation.

I love how they stand at the sink, block your access to at least 2 of the 3 sinks, then take all the papertowls out of the dispensers and disable the dryers.

They then proceed to point at the cup for a donation before giving you the towel.

I mean... what? If they're not gonna shake off the excess for me - why should I pay them to use a sink or paper towel?

Now - if the guy was cleaning the ****e, piss and vomit off the toilets so those unfortunite enough to need more than a piss (no, not a **** ... some call it a "number 2" ) on a night out could use them ... I'd gladly part with a few loose coins!

Zapp Brannigan

I had my first experience of these "helpers" a few weeks back.
To be honest I dont see the point in em, if I've gone out I've obviously put on my aftershave, deo etc. so I dont need no guy with some in the jacks.
As I did my business and washed my hands and used the dryer (all by myself! My mother would be so proud) I walked past the guy he rattled his jar. It was ridiculous he did nothing to help me yet he wanted a tip!?

Random

Ok, some people do want some deo or some gum Slurms .. but fair enough .. let them pay for it then.

As for the rest of what you said - exactly. If the begger on the street bothers you, you just keep walking. If the guy in the jacks does it ... you piss on the floor or can't wash your hands ..

Yeah fair enough, if I did tale some deo or whatever from him I would throw him a bit of change.
As for beggars on the street occasionally if the mood strikes me I throw em some coin too, though only if they're not the harrasing type that follow you half the way down a street with some bull**** story...

Ah, no way! I was approached by a guy with a cut on his face.
"Sorry bud, dont wanna hassle ya or anytin, but I'm only outta hospital. See I'm not from Dublin I was up here with friends and last night I got mugged and had me bleedin' phone, wallet and all me cash robbed from me. And my mates have all gone back up to where I'm from. Could ya givus a few euro to get the bus. Cheers"
All said in a thick Dublin accent. I walked on. A week later saw the same guy but this time it looked like he got a serious ****-kicking, I just put in my earphones and kept walking. Heard him call me all sorts a names though.

AngryAnderson

Um, folks. It's really not that difficult. I've never given any of these guys money and I never will. Ever. It's a ridiculous concept and anyone who gives these toilet attendants cash is a bit of a sucker IMO. If you want some chewing gum or after shave and don't mind tipping a few bob for it then fair enough but giving someone money for 'helping' you with the soap and drying your hands? I mean come on! The minute the Celtic Tiger rolled in, so did this joke of a 'service'. It seems to be preying on people's guilt and humiliation about not being seen to be generous.

Seriously, screw that. If I'm out for one of my occasional nights out and I'm being forced to pay €5 per pint, €15 to go a few miles in a taxi to get to the pub and then the same back, I ain't going to give someone else €1 or €2 every time I want to take a wazz just because he feels I need help with washing my hands afterwards!

It would be quite easy to label me as stingy but I donate a sizable % of my salary to different charities. I'm far from stingy. I just take serious exception to pubs/clubs who already make record profits from allowing the customers to be pilfered even more. Stop tipping these guys and they'll be forced to get real jobs and actually contribute to the economy people.

Am I the only one who thinks eating a sweet or some chewing gum that's been in a bathroom all night is kinda gross? And you're asking me to pay for the privilege?
