Toilet attendants & racism

Tesco Massacre · 25-07-2011 12:43AM #1

I was in the toilets of a bar last night and some little (emphasis on 'little'- he was about 5'6") scumbag had finished washing his hands and said to the attendant, 'here, ni**er, give me some fu**in' paper towel'.

I have to commend the attendant who looked like he was about to level the little twat, but he kept his cool and walked out rather than start a fight.

I wonder if this sort of thing is a common occurrence in the toilets of pubs & clubs around the country?

What did he call you that for?

RichieC · 25-07-2011 12:46AM

I've never witnessed it myself, though I imagine it happens every night. More oft than not it's people over compensating by a hundred miles.

"I love Africa me, what part you from?"

Cheryl Cole anyone?

AgileMyth · 25-07-2011 12:48AM

I really really hate places with toilet attendants. I'm more than capable of drying my hands without assistance.

So Cheryl Cole is being accused of being racist!

Just when you think she can't get any more perfect!

He is there to keep an eye on things, drugs, people acting the mick etc.

The blacks in the jacks.

A real phenomenon of the Celtic Tiger years when Ireland had such big boots on that it could afford the luxury of having black people hand out toiletries & soap in the pubs & clubs around the country.

It's almost a form of racism in itself, where the only qualification you seem to need for the job is the appropriate skin colour.

Then why do they need to turn off the hand-driers?

I think it's more like they're there to charge you a euro for a squirt of deoderant or a square of paper towels to dry your hands. Anywhere I've ever seen the bathroom attendants have had the towel dispensers emptied and the attendant has the tissues so you have to go and ask them for one and are then expected to tip them??? Also, what's the deal with some of them having sweets? Thanks, but I'd rather not eat a fruit polo from a dish in the jacks.

If they need to stop people doing naughty things in the bathrooms they should just stick a bouncer in there.

Laisurg · 25-07-2011 12:56AM

I really don't like it to be honest, it must be a horribly demeaning job and god knows what they have to put up
with. I've never actually seen anyone acting racist towards them but then again i rarely go to the dodgey clubs.
I also don't like how some of them expect you to give them money :mad:
Sure they get paid anyway and it's not like they're actually doing anything for me that's required, i can get my own paper towels!

Squirting usually costs more than that.

Pubs, clubs, taxis, takeway restaurants, supermarkets, essentially anywhere that you find 'foreigners'.

Defo,i remember one night sitting in takeaway 3 in the morn with friends who wanted grub,whilst rest of place busy stuffing its face and generally leaving their fast food rubbish all over the place whilst this chinese worker was busy cleaning up the tables.

You'd think they could just have a separate room with cubicles, a bit similar to a bathroom but without the actual toilets maybe with a fella selling johnnies and disinfecting every cubicle after use rather than going out of their way to stop the naughty things?

Why would they go against the flow by trying to stop the naughty things from happening? sure most people are there for the naughty things anyway. They should embrace it and provide this service

Chris P. Bacon · 25-07-2011 01:00AM

Who wants to eat sweets that have been sitting in a toilet all night!

Well, wouldn't call that racism, that's more a lack of breeding.

Clubs save a lot more mony by simply getting sticking a toliet attendant in there at no cost.

That's horrible. C'mon, name and shame the bar! (as I make sure to avoid any pub who employs toilet attendants.)

Adamantium · 25-07-2011 01:07AM

at times,they are very funny tho

a few noteworthy quotes from one:

No spray....no lay

No soap.....no hope!

Am I the only one that finds it strange that someone who comes out with that uses the term "paper towel"?

You'll hear a whole range of them, none are original.

I hate having to ask for soap !! It drives me crazy that your expected to 'tip' when all you want to do is wash your hands. I can see why you would be expected to to pay to use deo , perfume, eat the sweets/chewing gum or use any other of the myriad of products provided by these 'attendants' but SOAP and TISSUE (1 piece at that which never quiet cuts it but better than nothing) !! Next thing will be a donation box beside the tap for use of running water....

You don't though not in the places I have been in that have the attendants

I worked in a bar where we had toilet attendants way back, well the lad used to come in after mass on a Sunday in a 3 piece suit.He took pride in his job.
Any way 1 day he appeared up to the bar looking for a drink of orange, I filled one up for him and he starts shouting no, no, no ice it's dirty and very unhygienic :eek: My answer was "Man you spend 8 hours a day in a fu***ng Jax"!
