Modern Day Slavery?

Am i the only one that thinks its deeply sinister that over the last umpteen years i have only ever seen colored chaps manning the toilets handing out paper towels and garnering little tips for the use of deoderant in places like the Sports Cafe, Campus and other such clubs?

Is this a gents only exploitation/coincidence/phenomenon?

Re: Modern Day Slavery?

How do you know they're employed there? Could be lurkers.

Re: Modern Day Slavery?

That must be a horrible job - guy's toilets really smell

Plus, if there's urinals, surely you'd be spending all your shift watching guys pee? Bleurgh.

Re: Modern Day Slavery?

Those guys piss me off. Expecting a tip for handing me a paper towel? No thanks, I'll move my arm and get it myself, thanks. Also, why the FUCK would I want a lolly pop when I'm out in a club and I've just taken a leak?

Who said anything about being a toilet attendant? I was just talking about paying to watch people pee

Re: Modern Day Slavery?

Offer them bathing facility, Gaias Id, and safe passage (welcoming nickname) to Canada. You'll get thanks or a punch in the face. Same outcomes as your usual offers.

Re: Modern Day Slavery?

sorry, wasn't being specific enough for you there Al, when I said "get a job as a toilet attendant and they'll pay you for it" what I meant was that if you got a job as a toilet attendant, you would be paid to watch people pee, rather than you having to pay someone else.

gawd, i thought it was clear enough!
