    Default Attendant in the LADIES' Restroom!

    We have a new addition to our club- an attendant in the ladies' restroom. I despise the little troll. Seriously, does the men's room attendant shake down the DJ and the bouncers?

    1) We're staff, you little wretch. We kinda knew in advance that we would be at work for an eight-hour shift and came prepared with assorted novelties like lotion, breath mints and perfume. Even if we didn't, that is why we have a housemom.

    2) We're staff/. Shake down someone other than your co-workers.

    3) You suck. The soap goes on our HANDS (as opposed to all over our wristwatch). Your soap sucks too. What, couldn't you find some pure lye to dump perfume in? My hands feel like I've been shucking corn.

    Goodness only knows how, but I have managed the complicated task of washing my own hands for many years. It is beyond redundant to have some little beast make the task more difficult and annoy the piss out of me, and expect to be tipped for the priviledge. First she took the towels. Fine; I ignored her and used the soap supplied by the club. Then she took the soap. Finally, she took the fucking toilet paper (management replaced it though). What's next, lock the door and charge admission? Clearly the subtle approach isn't working, so now she's bluntly telling us that she works on tips. Works? Excuse me? Looting a bathroom of its supplies is not work. The housemom is bringing in proper bathroom supplies for us and we've resorted to going to the restroom in packs. I'm a great tipper but, by god, I'm putting my foot down. Not even a nickel for the bus.

    I can see a bathroom attendant for customers but not for staff. Is it the only bathroom you can use? If so I'd bring my own supplies and not use hers.
    While Iknow more and more women frequent clubs do ya'll have enough women coming in to justify an attendant in the ladies room? I've been to a couple of cluns that have them in the mens room but not the ladies.

    If you don't mind a guys point of view. I have been going to clubs for 13 years. I find the bathroom attendant annoying as hell. I was brought up with proper hygenie and I honestly feel like I am having to pay to pee. Then since I am a regular, I feel obligated to tip every single time. I thought the house mom took care of all of that. I know the house mom at the club I go to takes very good care of the girls, she used to dance long ago. I think a bathroom attendant for the womens room is odd and not needed, especially if she is acting like a 'troll'.

    we have a bathroom attendant in the men's room, but he never shakes me down for tips. i get the soap myself and he hands me a towel. but ive known the guy for years, he wouldnt accept a tip if i offerred. taking the toilet paper? wtf? i fail to see the point. there's already a housemom for pretty much exactly the same reason. unless there's a rather large amount of female customers at your club it just seems obnoxious to even have an attendant in there in the first place. have the girls complained as a group to management? i certainly would. (i'd think the housemom wouldnt be terribly amused with someone competing for her tipout either.)

    i used to have one in my old club, but she was awesome. but that was when i HAD to do drugs at work to get by (very bad experiece at that club im glad i got outta there while i did otherwise id be one of "those strippers" who are cracked out and hate their life) and drinking in the bathroom.
    she'd watch out for us as we smoked our weed and did our lines, chugged our hennesey. she'd hold girls hair back while they vomited up their bad beans!! this woman EARNED her tips!
    haha...we'd alll actually have little parties when NO ONE was in the club, all us girls would be in the bathroom. but it was different, she kinda was our housemom and our friend so she didnt have to be a bitch about tips....we all tipped her very nicely.

    but no, this one sounds unnessisary and i would tell her i know how to wipe my own ass, thank you very much.....unless you wannna do it, THEN you'll get a tip!

    i think bathroom attendents should go to DANCE CLUBS....not strip DANCE clubs, but like dance clubs where they ARE neededs b/c girls dont bring eveything they need into a club and could use a little refreshment or buy a cig, spritz on some generic perfume, borrow some hair spray, whatever. not at strip clubs tho....especially if you ALLREADY have a house mom. fuck that...we can handle it. haha what do you think htat dufffle bag we bring into work is full of?!?!!? i know my outfits are as little as can be but that thing weighs ten pounds with my makeup, blowdryer, hair curler/straightner, sprays, lotions....ETC!!


    oh and ps....don't do drugs at work (or anywhere actually now) anymore....now that i found out i could find a club where i don't have to enibriate myself just to be at work & talk to the "people" all night...and take their abuse. just thought i'd mention that part! :-)
    fuck it.

    I'm sick and tired of more and more people at the club trying to take a bit of my money.

    A washroom attendant would bug the hell out of me. I damn well would not tip someone for something I have done all by myself since I was 1 year old.

    As it is, the coat check lady expects a tip from me and I put my coat in my locker and she doesn't say a word to me all night.

    A waitress wanted a tip from me last week, for what I don't know, my customers always tip 20% since I tell them to.

    The other girls probabally agree with you. Tell everyone else not to tip her and eventually she'll ask to be a waitress or quit.

    Sounds like another unnecessary "employee" designed to shake you ladies down. Stealing toilet paper? That's pretty messed up. I could see them being necessary for customers sometimes, but c'mon.

    Washroom attendents are usually independent business people...
    guys tell me they bathroom attendents are usually pretty funny. Sometimes
    when they are bored they go in there and tell jokes.
    The upscale club I worked at did not allow dancers to use the women's bathroom...
    we used our own one in the back... they were afraid of dancers doing drugs in
    the customer's ladies room.... but the female customers still did drugs there,
    and so did other employees like the waitresses... not very fair to the dancers.

    How much female customer traffic do you get in your club?

    Bathroom attendants are annoying. I can urinate and wash my hands on my own any other time. There's some things I just don't need help with. What's next, somebody to sit at the table and fork food into my mouth?

    It also bothers me to think of someone being so desperately low on the food chain to cater to guys in the process of losing their bodily wastes.

    Applying it to staff, and the experience would be annoying times five.

    Do you get many female customers? If not than this is very strange. I have never seen a female bathroom person in my life. Now and then my hubby runs into them. He doesn't like them either. He says it is hard to pee when someone is waiting for you to get done.

    Well, I guess I'll be the dissenting voice here, or at least the devil's advocate.

    First I'll agree with the most obvious things: A bathroom attendant shouldn't EVER shake someone down for merely using the facilities. Paper towels, toilet paper and soap are a given, and that's certainly not a reason to tip someone out. Even when someone uses the products or services of an attendant, a shake down is unseemly, though use of products implies a tip, it shouldn't be necessary to beat someone over the head with it, LOL. And they are usually grateful to be tipped and should thank for each tip - the one you mention sounds like a bitch who extorts instead of earns.

    That said, there's some reasons that clubs employ bathroom attendants in the ladies (and men's) room. One is to monitor that drug use doesn't go on. Problems with drug use in the bathrooms by both customers and staff can risk the club license, and often times the solution is to have a monitor for the situation.

    Another is that bathrooms can get pretty damned nasty when left unattended, and it's a sign of a good club if the facilities are kept in top-notch, hygenic conditions. Trust me, nobody has to piss on the floor or seat to signify their dislike of a bathroom attendant, that happens plenty when there's nobody there at all. A lot of upper-niche clubs employ attendants as a way of maintaining both propriety as well as appearances.

    Also, though there's a housemom, there are some extended bennies from having a well stocked bathroom as a pit stop to freshen up - not all house moms carry a full assortment of perfumes, makeup, tampax, sewing kits, nail glue, basic meds, hair styling products, mouthwash, mints, cigarettes, snacks, etc. Yep, most girls carry their stuff with them, but it's also a perk to have stuff there waiting for you so that you don't have to carry it, or if you forgot something.

    Another hidden use of bathroom attendants is as a source of information on what's going down in any particular part of the club that night, what high rollers have come in, as a keeper of stuff you want at hand (minds your cell phone while you wait for an important call, holds your bag, money, whatever), and also as someone to listen to you if you need help that is too sensitive to discuss with mgmt for whatever reason. The attendant can be a good intermediate or confidante. In the best case scenario, they can act as a mini-mom without the ramifications of having your job in their hand. Housemoms proper are often simply too busy with paperwork and overseeing the housefees to tend personally to someone for extended periods of time if they need it, but this is where the attendant excels - they are there to spot your needs and fill them before you even need to ask. And yeah, they can be there for you when you've had too much to drink and need some TLC and hair-holding-back. They are the ones washing out and drying that g-string that you bled through. They clean the piss of the seats regularly, and wash vomit off the sides of the bowl and floor. They are the ones who know exactly how to get red wine out of a white outfit without leaving a mark. They see that you are wearing the dress inside out before you do, and they tuck in the labels, clean off the lint, fix the strap, and check the string without asking. They can fix a heel, a nail, a hem, a mood and be your personal stylist that makes sure you don't have that piece of toilet paper hanging out your butt as you walk out the door. They can be the MacGyver of the can, if they're really seasoned.

    A good bathroom attendant remembers exactly what you need and want, and knows your name. They know when you are down and when you need a lift, and when you just need to be left alone. They are ideally invisible until you need them, and then they'll be right there with whatever odd item you think they wouldn't have in a million years, but they do have it, and they know how to fix whatever problem in about two seconds and have you back out on the floor looking great, worry-free and making cash. They can be your secretary, your messenger, your 411, your therapist and your EMT all in one pitstop while you pee. ;-)

    Thing is, though, that's when they know what they are doing and do it well...not when they are trolls who think merely breathing earns them a buck.

    Unfortunately, many are just shakedown artists who have no skill and resort to terrorist tactics like stealing the toilet paper (for shame!) or who sit there like a lump offering no value or benefit to interacting with them at all.

    The bathroom attendant is a club insurance policy but also another form of revenue; believe it or not, most pay a house fee just like the rest of the club. Those that work in strip clubs rely on the staff as much as the customers, but in return, they should be offering all of the above stuff as a way of earning their keep. If they don't, or if you don't use their products or services, then no tip is necessary. But remember folks, they are just trying to offer a service - one you don't have to avail yourself of.

    This thread reminds me of a funny story. Years ago the club my ATF worked in had 2 urinals in the men's room, one was normal height, the other was at a lower children's height. Every time I went into the club I always asked why there was a children's urinal - I never saw any children in there. Nobody ever had an answer. Although finally my ATF did tell me that there was a midget in there once. Never thought of that. Anyone else have a children's urinal in their men's room? Guess I'm strange but I found it amusing.

    Anyway, add me to the list of guys who really hate men's room attendants. And here's something I bet you ladies didn't know - when there's a men's room attendant a lot of guys don't wash they're hands because they don't want to deal with the clown handing out the towels. Think about that next time you're giving a private dance. Then tell management to can the can guy.

    FONDL, i often wondered about the lower urinal as well until i saw a guy in a wheelchair use it. i'm sure there's some law about having to have one lower one for some reason, be it little people or the handicapped or god knows what else.

    I have always hated bathroom attendents. I think I'm old enough to get my own towel to wash my hands.

    MrChristopher, I'm sure there's a building code somewhere that requires the lower urinal in a restaurant (and this place is a real restaurant with strippers - quite popular actually.) But somehow it always tickled by funny bone to see the low urinal. This restroom was so tiny that no wheelchair would ever fit in, not sure how they get away with that one.

    But I can see the benefit of an attendant in the ladies room. It would have come in handy the time I was in a stall in a ladies room in a hotel and didn't know it until some high heels walked in. Except that was in New York so high heels could have been in the men's room too. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    I know of a strip club where there are no doors on the ladies dressing room. The seats nearby are quite popular, even though the girls dance nude. Go figure.
