Title: Tip the restroom attendant?!
Post by: Pollux on March 14, 2009, 06:17:50 AM
How many of you Getbiggers go to a nice restaurant or club and end up going to the restroom only to see one of those annoying attendants? Do ya tip 'em?

Me? Nope! I'm not about to 'tip' just because I had to go to the restroom and wash my hands.

If by tipping you mean farting as you step out the restroom door, than yes.

Not when you're stepping out though, but when you're standing there washing your hands and he's right next to you. Just let one rip and then walk away.

I'm perfectly capable of washing my own hands. 

Why do they feel it necessary to get right next to you with a paper towel? 

Seriously, when I go to the restroom, I really don't like to interact with other people and those little guys completely invade my personal space.

At least their nice there. Have you ever been to a place where the guy is a prick and gives back talk.

They are nice at charlotte because they generally just sit there and don't harass you. If i am at a nice restaurant i shouldn't have to hold my piss so i only go to the bathroom once and have to deal with that guy once instead of going whenever i feel like it. The guy at the 21 club in NYC is pretty nice though. Great memory. And definitely get the steak tartare their, Gordon Gecko recommends it.

In this day and time, with so many people out of work... you have to wonder why more ppl don't become "spontaneous restroom attendants".

You know, dress nice and carry a suitcase of toiletries into a crowded public restroom.  Be very polite and have your tip jar there as you help each restroom patron.

Maybe work with a friend so you can hand off the $ every few minutes.  this way when the police/staff throw you out, they don't confiscate your $ as well.

Tough times, ppl.  I'm surprsised we don't see more of this.  beggars are on the streets, and offer no service.  At least this guy could help make your restroom experience better.

At these types of places, drinks are at least 8 bucks a pop, and I am talking about domestic beer, not top shelf. Why stiff the bathroom guy when you are blowing possibly several hundred dollars at the place? Give the little homie a buck, he has bills too.

That's my point. I am not going to say I frequent these types of places, as a matter of fact other than the higher end stripclubs and different vacation spots, I never see a bathroom guy. But if you are already spending that kid of cash, why stiff the poor dude?

I tend to agree--that's their job, isn't it???  And we have to give them money on top of that?  Maybe people who work for tips aren't being paid enough by their employers--THAT's the source of the problem!

I generally throw in $5 or $10 because i feel real bad for them and they give you towels, mints and some other crap but the most i gave a dude was $20. I walked into one and some guy was taking a shit and i went to take a piss and when i opened my wallet and seen that all i had was $20's....i just said what the hell...but the smell was so horrible and these guys have to smell that shit for eight hours or more...c'mon.

Well I think anyone would. I put the 3 nights on it to make it somewhat of a tough decision(wouldn't be for me). But if I asked if you would do it for 365,000 a year, who would honestly say no other than a liar. Btw, what do you think a good bathroom guy clears a night? I am talking about the guys with the nice spreads, colognes, mints etc. Assuming it is a nice place of average size. I would guess 250$.

I was at a club once and they had this real nice setup in the bathroom, I was impressed. I used some cologne, took some chewing gum, several breathmints, a lot of ciggerattes, and whatever for free, and the guy was a real nice guy standing back a few feet to be sure not to bother the hell out of u, an older guy too (which was weird in the club, but still) he made sure u just knew if u needed anything, he'd help but he wouldnt stand in front of ur face or anything.

But no i didn't tip him. ;D

If he sees (some of the same) people 300 times a night.  (1 person per minute for a 5 hour shift)...

maybe every 5th or 7th person tips a buck?
maybe every 20th person tips a 5.

It is not like they are panhandlers but i cannot imagine the smells and the things that they here while standing there and holding a straight face. Tip what you think is right and if you choose not to, then do not. I am trying to think of some of the good places in Detroit or Madison Heights, Whitehall, Midland, Yipilipsanti,..etc...I might ask them who they like more MICHIGAN or Michigan State while washing my hands...

If you are at a place early and plan on staying all night, just do what you do at a wedding. Now at a wedding, you want good strong drinks, so 20 or 30 right away to the bartender is more than suffice to keep your drinks coming strong all night. Considering all you want to do is piss in peace, give the guy 5 or 10 bucks right away and tell him you don't carry small bills, but will see him many more times that night.

A quick story. When I was 18 I could get into a casino cuz it was on a college campus so the age limit was 18. I met my dad there and he hit a royal flush on the video poker machine. It paid him 4 grand. He had to wait for the lady to come give him the cash, about 20 minutes. He then gave her 3 hundred bucks as a tip. I asked him why he gave her so much. His answer to me was simple "300 bucks to me is nothing, it could feed her family for a week".  Ever since then I tip pretty well, I respect people who work for a living. Besides, would you really miss a buck?

danielson, I like your dads attitude.  I think people who don't tip wait staff are assholes.  If you get lousy service, fine, but anybody who knows someone who has worked waiting tables, know that the majority of their pay comes from tips.  Just factor it into what you are going to spend on dinner that night.

True story.  I worked at an office once where we ordered lunch out a lot.  I picked it up one time from a place.  The food was great and I actually took the time to call them and tell them, I got the owner on the phone and she paused after I told her that and was like "wow, nobody ever calls unless it's to complain" and after that she would give us free drinks and dessert when we ordered from there.  I didn't do it for that reason, but it felt good to know she thought that much of it.

Cool story, it helps to be nice. I have one more quick one before I have to leave for a bit. Back in 2003 I was going to lunch with my boss who was also my long time buddy. We noticed an old minivan with a popped tire. So we got out to help. We changed the tire and followed her to a tire shop. She didn't appear to have much money(and at the time our business was doing good, real good) so my buddy ran into the shop real quick while I sat and chatted with her. He came out, told her it was going to be an hour and invited her to lunch. She said something like "an hour? for one tire? Did they tell you how much it is going to cost me?" He told her the tires looked bald and he was buying her 4 new ones and not to worry about a thing. She broke down and cried on the spot. Said she had never witnessed such generosity. Now 220 bucks to him was nothing, but I am pretty sure it helped this lady tremendously. She went to lunch with us and was a very nice older lady, must have thanked him 50 times. It honestly touched me what he did for her.

It's simple for me. If i have the cash to spare i'll tip the guy, if i don't than i won't.

Are you gonna tip the garbage man for picking up your trash twice a week or whatever?  ::)


50 bucks at Christmas. It's pretty typical here where I live.

That's true! They work for the city. Good call.

Ours are private companies. Now a few cities over in Pontiac, garbage is taken care of by the city.

I don't mean on a special occasion such as Christmas. I mean on an ordinary week.

Or he is just being honest. To each their own, I honestly respect and appreciate people in the service industry. Just like I hate anyone who is on welfare or people who beg for money on the streets.

No, just gotta give the guy an extra 20 bucks for couches etc. if the situation arises. But I think that is company policy and not a tip.

Don't get me wrong. As I've said in my previous post, I could see where tipping may come into play and I do as such, but I'm sorry, I'm not about to 'tip' the restroom attendant just because I had to go piss and/or wash my hands.

Remember, these places that have the attendants are few and far in between, unless you frequent very high end places often. Personally I see a bathroom attendant 4 times a year at most, unless I am on vacation and then it varies. So if you are already blowing 10 plus bucks on a drink, what's a few more dollars?

Ahh, Midland. I was supposed to go to school there. No way I was getting into Northwood though. I got kicked out of Ferris ffs! but that was the plan that was laid out for me anyway. My grandfather left me with quite a bit of money when I turned 18 with the hopes I would use it to go there. I used to travel through there a lot on the way to The Soaring Eagle though. Traverse City is nice too, great place to take a long weekend, good wineries and casinos.

For some reason this post made me think of that Journey song...."Don't stop believin' "  "born and raised in south detroit....."  I'm such a dork sometimes.

I remember Northwood being a pretty snobby school.
