Toilet attendants, how do you deal with them?

MrPain · 22-02-2010 08:17PM

I got talking to one once, it turned out he was a registered accountant, he showed me his card and everything.

Would it actually put people off going to a place if you knew they worked there??

Yes. When I go into the bathrooms of a place (particularly a noisy club) i like to able to relax and gather myself, to take my time, maybe even have a look in the mirror or even just joke to the person beside me that the cúnt hogging the cubicle should find somewhere else to pleasure himself, which I can't do when there's someone making me uneasy by watching my every move and then standing over me while i use the sink.

If a club advertised themselves as not having toilet attendants they'd probably gain a lot of customers.

I prefer to drink it, the bubbles play havoc with my nostrils.

Fear Uladh · 22-02-2010 08:23PM

I think they are great, all I did was go for a lash and I came out with nice smelling hands and a few chewing gums, all for NOTHING!

The most annoying ones are the two in Fibbers.....

For one there is normally 2" of piss on the floor, no locks on the door of the cubicles, broken or not seat and no bogroll {not even a follow on the wall}.

The "attendants" has there normal aftershaves and the like and try and turn the tape on then hand you some bogroll from one of the large roll that were mean for the cubicles FFS.....

TL;DR : Goto sink if they try and push the tap button and use the other one and then dry my hands on a tissue from my pocket.

Anybody know how much they make on average a night??
Doin some quick sums here(using numbers off the top of my head)
Say they are on for about 6 hours a night, things are a bit quiet at the start so they wouldnt make a whole pile for the first 2-3 hours, but as the night wears on, people start getting flash with the cash.
On average, I reckon they would make somewhere between 80-100e an hour, easily clearing 500euro a night. Minus the amount they probably have to pay the club for being there(100-150 say), they clear 350-400 a night. Probably tax free

Work 4 nights a week = 1600 a week

50 weeks a year = 80000k a year in the pocket

You would need to earn about the 130k a year to take that home

Fair play to them is all I can say

Changed my mind, okay - where do I sign up?

Can I work the ladies toilets in RTE?

Ross_Mahon · 22-02-2010 08:57PM

I tend to use the hand dryer to avoid contact with them

If you want some aftershave, deoderant you can use it. There is no charge on anything, you don't HAVE to use it. Just chose not to.

Why not simply have dispensers for deodorant and aftershave? Why do we need some fella pestering us?

I think they are banned from the ladies toilets in RTE ever since Eamon Dunphy was caught in there offering ladies a go on his "soap dispenser" during the last world cup

I presume the lad is there to discourage people from having a dirty protest due to the fact that there are only 4 women in the club and are mingers. It happens.

gorjess-girlie · 22-02-2010 09:19PM

I never used to go the bathroom til I had change...
But now I give them 2 euro the first time I go in and treat them like my b*tch for the rest of the night.

Although once I fell in a club after someone dropped their drink n cut my leg really badly on glass, I went into the toilet to clean it up and the toilet attendant gave me a plaster and said, "You must bring me money back now".

he heh ... told ya so honey, these gimps are feeding on your sense of shame that they have to work in a loo.

Next time ,drop the knickers, unload serious sludge, and point at the cube.

that will always sort 'em.

Don't be a fcuking wuss all your life.

chocgirl · 22-02-2010 09:55PM

Ah I always find this so awkward, I usually resist giving them anything most of the time and will throw them 2 euro at some stage during the night!

They do in their hole. To make that sort of bread they wou;ld need to pick up 2 euro a minute between peak times 10pm-2.30am.

Not happening. Id say they would earn a oner a night after they payy off the owner/manager. Tops.

Borneo Fnctn · 22-02-2010 10:13PM

They can suck my dick. They'll never get a penny from me. fucking cunts.

BillyBoyBad · 22-02-2010 10:16PM

A friend of mine was locked one night in Doyles and gave the guy €50.

Absolute sucker. He regretted it the next day though.

When you go to the jacks in a club after midnight, place is always packed and the boys keep picking up dosh until the place closes(roughly 3pm), they would easily make 2euro+ an minute, plus what they make before that. I reckon they easily make 300-400euro a night

Perhaps if they considered providing this service, I might be tempted to throw them the odd euro.

True story. I was in the club the other wknd. New lad in the toilets. He called in the bouncers to deal with the lads who wouldn't wash their hands. He even grabbed one by the shoulder to pull them back from the door to wash their hands. He's lucky he didn't get a smack TBH.

you should have gone after him with your toothpick:D:D:D

Duddy · 22-02-2010 11:25PM

Never tip them.

Never will.

They usually don't provide a service, they force it upon you.As for the faux-niceties upon entering, its like any other job.

Speech - "Hey sir how are you"
Subtext - "I don't give a sh*t".

donkey balls · 22-02-2010 11:36PM

a few pubs that i used to go to the hand dryers would not work after the toilet attendants came on duty in the evening times(me thinks that they got them switched off) b,stads

powerfade · 22-02-2010 11:45PM

I fukn hate them, pressing the tap and then shoving handtowels on ya to dry your hands- don't give them a tip I hate myself with shame, give them a tip and I fukn hate they have guilted me into it and pissed with myself again for getting conned by my horrible Catholic guilt..

That was before tho... Now things have changed I let them press the tap, take their paper, dry my hands, look them in the eye and say 'thanks very much' and walk out the door with a nice feeling of satisfaction. Or else I give them a euro or 2 the first time I go in and take a couple of chewing gums and a spray of cologne every time I go in, they still make a 100% profit on it, the kniving little cnuts. Before people start hitting me with 'they're only doing their job, the're trying to get by, put yourself in their shoes(as if!)' and all the rest of the sanctimonious bullsh!t that's spouted on here, I wouldn't mind if, as referred to in a previous post, they were providing just sprays,chewing gum and gels, it's the thought that you actually have to pay to wash your hands-get it-YOU ARE PAYING TO WASH YOUR HANDS, FCUK OFF, the pints are expensive enough in the Dublin already...... (I'm sure they're really nice guys deep down though)

Alot of people I know believe the toilet attendant jobs should be given to students in college!

Jesus it is bad enough as it is, without having some asshat called Oisín or Fionn doing first year arts, holding out a sheet of kitchen paper. You'd be morally obliged to give him a well aimed kick to the damsels. Courts would be full of aggreviated assault cases.

Toilet attendants, how do you deal with them?
