I think this is a European concept. When I was in Greece in 1993, i hopped into the train station to do my business, and there was a lady outside waiting to be tipped. (stupid canadian me, didn't understand why she was there). After I did my business, i walked out, and away, and she started yelling at me..heck, she almost ran at me with a broom.. LOL.

Anyhow..i've been back since then..and these attendants are everywhere..McDonald's, B-King, Clubs..airports.... the difference is..they EXPECT to be tipped. Tipping these people (don't know what their title is) is part of societal norms in Europe. Whereas here it is still a new concept. I guess it's just finding another way to make a buck!!!

Good point, hopefully it never becomes like that here, I really hate when people expect a tip, I don't even think tipping should be a regular occurance (this reminds me of the tipping thread we had a while ago), if you want a tip I think you should have to wow me with exceptional service, and that rarely happens (it does tho sometimes).

Cover - $5-$10
Drinks for a night - $60
SHOT TIME for friends - $40
Paying the chick in the washroom to hand me a paper towel - priceless


If you think about it... the majority have to pay out to the bar for being able to work in that washroom (most are not bar employees)... so really they go home with hardly anything. So is it really worth it to have them in there? If so then they should be making some overhead pay for security costs or something.
I think the bar makes enough money off people for them to have to let someone else technically make them MORE money in the washroom.

no but he did lock the door while me and ur girlfriend pounded in the stall/on the counter/ on the urinal. He didn't watch tho, he said he wasn't into that type of scene, but i let him video tape. Hopefully it'll pop on the internet soon.....
