Toilet attendants & racism

I've only seen one non black toilet attendant and that was in Dundalk about 10 years ago

I've seen one too but I can't place where it was, good while ago now.

I fukking hate these guys. They make me feel guilty for wanting to wash my hands. And i don't give a fook what colour they are

Don't go to nightclubs that often but they never bothered me when ever I did. Problem is when go I to the jacks after the hand wash I'm alway tempted to put a dab of aftershave on. Usually being quite drunk it could be half a gallon. The next trip back I forget which one I used previously (even though it may have only been 20 minutes before) and so I put another big splosh of a different aftershave on. There are people passing out around me from the fumes at the end of the night from all the different scents.

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

Normally I hate those places too, but the last time I was in a club in Dublin the bathroom attendants had some slogans they were shouting at the patrons which I thought were hilarious:

"No Armani, no punani!"
"No spray, no lay!"
"Wash your fingers for the mingers!"

Was he selling fireworks?

Ah no enough of that, just because he's not black you automatically assume he sold drugs?

I hate tipping these guys so I don't do it. I'm not interested in lynx because I'm not 15, and I'm not interested in knock off aftershave. So if they expect me to tip them just because they hand me a tissue they can forget it.

Eh have you not seen wha happens to the fella in the lynx ads? He's knee deep in clunge dammit!!

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!

are you sure they get paid? i would think their income is based on what they get that night, infact id be pretty sure of it...

they buy all the products cheap themselves and get left tips for them..thats how they make their money.

They are not in it for the money, they only do the job so that they can laugh at white men's little willies.

Id say they have a great laugh laughing at our small white irish willies in comparison to theirs

Speak for yourselves

I feel a bit put off when I know someone is watching and waiting for me to stop peeing.

In a small club in London a few weeks back, there was a queue out the door of the jacks, the attendent leans outside to remind those waiting that it costs a pound to use the urinal and a fiver to take a sh!ite.

Also, not fully sure, but I think they are technically voluntary staff, as in they don't get paid by the establishment but take home purely what they can get from the bathroom work, and they come in purely from their own initiative. My friends always say that it's like a form of racism that the lowest types of work in the country are uniformly held by blacks, but if the above is true, then really they're very entrepreneurial, pulling themselves up, making the most of an opportunity.
