Toilet Attendants

What is everyone's view on the toilet attendants that keep the bathroom clean for tips.

Is this a worthwhile enterprise or a pain in the arse for people?
 
I stopped a guy hitting one in Hush 2014. He remembered me the year after and the night it happened and let me off with a few tips. Also had a good chat at how the increase police presence on the west end was making it decline.

I wish I could remember his name he was genuine good person but some are scum of the earth and wouldn’t think twice and squealing on you.
 
Always give money & keep change for it, as those people are not the ones that got the greasy money from Ibiza clubbing business.
if i want to save money i don't drink .
 
It's an interesting question - most (not just in ibiza) are friendly and not too pushy on insisting you 'wash your fingers for the mingers'.. however, I've had a couple of bad experiences, including one refusing to let us leave the bathroom in Tenerife last week, despite neither of us having any change. In the end, he moved when another guy came into the toilets. In the UK at least, I don't see how it's an essential service as bars, clubs etc have a responsibility to keep their facilities decent.

More to ensure those in the toilets are behaving... Though I have seen a decline in them in UK bars / clubs etc in the last few years.

I don't really get it, DC10 have a hit squad of toilet cleaners without the need for toilet attendances, same as Hi. So surely clubs could follow that rather than those taking tips etc

Yeah good point, I suppose it's a win-win for the establishments because they don't have to pay them and they're doing several jobs while they're in there.

I'm surprised I can remember :lol: but it was one of the bars in Veronicas 3 in Las Amercias, with a dodgy arrangement where you had to go downstairs into the basement area..

Are yeah I know which one you mean could be jumping jacks or next door. You always get the weird ones especially who take all the loo roll!

I’ve just been my self but noticed how dead Veronica’s was so ended up just hitting the bars around the patch area at 7 every night and seeing how long we lasted haha
 
Seen some of them take no prisoners. Kicking in a stall cause two lads went into one and ruthlessly denying use of the paper towels without a monetary transaction. Though for everyone bad one there is plenty of good ones.
 
Seriously though, just curious as to whether it's an accepted part of life now or whether it grinds peoples gears.

I noticed them a lot more the past few years but I don't know if that's because I'm more sober on a night out or whether they generally are more prevalent.

They don't bother me too much if they're sound fellas but had a few that were pushy which just puts you off certain places.
 
I've just recalled an incident which occurred in Itacas' bogs a couple of years ago. I'd used the urinal, then proceeded to flush.. which caused a cascade of water to leak from the flush 'button' onto the floor. I then had to subdue the toilet attendant with a couple of euros by way of an apology for 'peesing on the floor' as he thought it was o_O:p
 
I have a friend she was a toilet attendant at pacha. She got 10 drink tokens a night. She used to pass them onto friends for a small price..
 
anyone who ever went to The End in London might remember the toilets in the little bottleneck corridor which connected it to AKA. I always gave some change to this eternally optimistic African guy in there who used to go full preacher on us "AND THE LORD ALMIGHTY SAY NO SOAP! NO HOPE!"
 
In Tropi in San An they have a little African guy called Larry and he's a really affable guy. I had to feel sorry for him once though as I was once washing my hands after having a pee when a guy came wobbling out of the cubicle followed by the most stomach-churning chemically-enhanced smell you can possibly imagine. Now, I was a nurse for 25 years. I've dealt with bright yellow c-diff poo, people with serious bowel disorders and people with spasticated colons who only evacuated their bowels every 3-4 weeks and yet this malodorous stench even made me heave. Poor Larry stuck in this tiny gents toilet looked positively ill so I gave him an extra large tip (3 or four Euros) and got the hell out of there. Such a nice bloke, he really didn't deserve that level of olifactory punishment.
