For some reason me and my mates decided to go couture after the game last night and whilst in the toilet my mate got pushed in the face by the toilet attendant for not giving him a big enough tip, so we went to the bouncer downstairs to talk to the manager after a while he presented himself and said he would review CCTV and get rid of him if he was in the wrong and to come back after 20mins,we knew that they would have cameras in the toilet but waited. Half hour passed and the toilet attendant still had his job and management wouldn't come back out to speak to us, the bouncer did say you should of just smacked him but being law abiding members of the public that wouldn't be a great move we would of got arrested and then blamed etc etc (things would of escalated quickly)we then requested to see the CCTV footage that he would be reviewing and got fobbed off and asked to leave. We then decided to make a complaint to the police and they will be visiting my mate over the next week to follow up the complaint raised.

Sorry, tip a toilet attendant? What effin country do we live in, what on earth can a bog cleaner do for you that deserves a tip? I can wipe my own arse, I can wash my own hands, what do they actually do for you? I always assumed they were just there to sell drugs?

I always thought the attendants were there to stop drugs being used or sold, unless they were the "house product"

I must be going to different places then.

They offer you a beautifully folded small towel to dry your hands, then take the lid off the wicker basket for you to drop said towel into, then they offer you a selection of hand creams with which to moisurise. A quick spray of the perfume of your choice then its back to the bar but not before tipping them most generously.

And talking of Couture, I havent been since it was Top Of The World first time round.

I don't know why, but I have this image of 'The worst toilet in Scotland' when I think of nightclub loos. I have never set foot in Top of the World either

You wash your hands and they have a selection of sprays not sure what edt my mate had but he wasn't happy with his tip, bloody pathetic. Not surprised it was only half full if that. Normally we go the post house, think we will stick with there when we go out in Stafford.

Lol I didn't realise your supposed to tip them! When I used to go out in wolves there was never a toilet attendant in the women's toilets so I used to use the men's ( depending on how rank it was) . Always huge queues in women's .Was nice having someone open doors for me , wash and dry my hands etc . I thought it was their job

It is their job, but a tip is expected.

It's one of those funny quirky English customs where you have to know who we tip....

Example. In England we tend to tip in restaurants but not in bars. In America the bar attendants expect a 15% tip minimum.

We tip taxi drivers but we don't tip chimney sweeps.

We tip toilet attendants but we don't tip the drain cleaner.

We tip waiters/waitresses but not shop assistants

We tip hair dressers but we dont tip air hosteses or cabin crew.

Sometimes things just are.

How much are you expected to tip these toilet attendants?

We first came across them in Spain when son was a lot younger. He came rushing out of the pub loo, saying that a man was demanding money off him. Since then we tend to try and avoid the bars that have these attendants in.

No splash, no gash!

Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but I bet your mate just wishes he broke one of the bottles of spray over this chunt's face now.
