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

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

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.

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)

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.

TBh if people don't notice or care what they're gicing then what's the problem. It's not like the guys in the toilet force you.

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.
