    If it was a tracksuit wearing skanger in there who disabled the hand dryer and emptied the paper towel machine - then tried to sell you the service of handing you paper towels how would you react to that ?
    With the same way I react to toilet tip guy - tell him my girl troubles and then ignore his response.

    Seriously, I don't begrudge anyone who feels it necessary to hand out cologne to drunken spoilt brats like me for a living. They're doing what they have to do to earn a living.

    I don't begrudge anyone, I hate chuggers in the same way I hate those guys. No begrudgery involved.

    But then, all one has to do is pass by a toilet tip guy.

    I'm sure the man grew up wanting to drive firetrucks or airplanes like the rest of us; man hardly needs it pointed out to him what a low position he fills. So what's the problem? Walk away. Probem solved.


    Well: except for wet hands. I don't know how we're going to get over that one.

    Sorry, I just don't buy into that 'oh you should feel sorry for them, having to work in a toilet while we have fun' nonsense.

    It's not meant as a convenience. The idea is to reduce drug use/dealing in the toilets.

    Dunno why they're all black but I reckon it's to have someone who "stands out" and makes it clear that he's working down there and watching you.

    More likely the fact that any tips are not declared, I don't actualy believe they are "employed" by the clubs

    Oh he doesn't have to work in a nightclub.

    I'm sure it would be infinitely preferable to some if he were claiming asylum and unable to work, or just hadn't come o Ireland in the first place.

    Like most Irish people, my parents had to work bloody hard for what they got in life, and here I can only see an example of a man doing the exact same in much worse, entirely degrading and embarrassing circumstances.

    If you don't want to pay him for his cologne,walk on out of there. I don't see what your issue is. Nobody is asking you for pity, but please allow us who wish to dole it out to do so, if that's how you want to put it.

    You should check out the shoeless roma beggar. Poor, poor guy just can't seem to hold onto a pair of shoes. It must be so degrading and embarrassing for him. But he is a try-er you know ? You gotta give him that.

    Have to say I do feel awarkard walking passed them. But I wash and dry my hands who ever in in the bathroom. Some person standing in the corner isn't going to change that.

    No, they are a scourge upon Dublins nightlife just as much as the homeless and chuggers. I shall not be guilt tripped into giving somebody money.

    Give them nothing, It's the same as the Roma selling roses on the streets. I don't eat lollypops at home after taking a piss..Also i tend to use my aftershave before i go out so dont need to top up with watery crap on his counter..

    I don't want anything they provide. It would also be rare (like hen's teeth) for me to be in a place they frequent anyway. I have no problem with leaving with wet hands (water...)

    Is it just the male toilets they hang out in ?
    Do they bring their own towels, or do the ones they offer belong to the club ?

    I go in, take a piss, wash hands, dry them under the dryer and walk out. No way in the world I am tipping someone €2 for handing me a tissue when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself.

    They can ask me hole!

    agree with the charity w@nkers though- large % of anything you give to them goes towards their pay and the agencies administration costs..

    If the crapper was spotless and I didn't have to drop from a height when taking a dump I mite give him 50c. At least they are trying to earn a living. I wouldn't do it.

    No.

    If I'm in a pub with toilet attendants I won't go back again.
    Any place that has them deserves to go out of business.

    Fair play to them for trying to make a living and all...
    They're only there because it's cheaper than hiring a proper bouncer and it's yet another stupid Celtic Tiger legacy I'll be glad to see the back of.
