I have to agree. I was in a pub, yes a pub of all places this weekend and some guy charged me a pound for some paper and a spray of aftershave!! We ended up getting into a kung fu fight over it!! you can read all about it on my blog or see a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LLCN0oT-Os

Ryan you have a point, but for me the job of the toilet attendant isn’t about the points you have raised. It is about money, they are so in your face expecting cash for turning the fu**ing tap on for you and putting soap on your hands. Give me a break!

If people want to take drugs they will find a way, whether there is an toilet attendant or not, I have seen people popping pills outside the toilet door, while an attendant was happily standing inside, unaware, trying to make some money from knock off aftershaves…I however seen the need for attendants in certain bars where they are probably a necessity.

Dorothy, a hand appearing under the door would have scared the hell out of me, now that is creepy. I would have probably stomped on it.

I so know that feeling. The first time I experienced that was in Mexico and it was so intimidating and intrusive. Some fingers creeping in under the toilet door with one hand and toilet paper with the other and there I was …no money and no damn toilet paper…now being of the female gender this was not a good thing…did anyone warn me of this rip-off service before hand…of course not…so a lesson was learned well..pay first or drip dry

While I agree this particular attendant went overboard, there is a reason for it. Yes, the young loons are to blame, indeed, but they need to keep people like you from hating the joint. I’ll give you two of the biggest reasons they’re necessary:

1) To stop people from smoking (and I dont mean just cigarettes) and drugs

2) Couples getting in there for a quick bang

If you were to run a bar… how would you control stuff like these? An attendant is the easiest way out.
