Is it OK to take a mint and not tip the bathroom attendant?
Forums:
At the LVBB (and anywhere there's a bathroom attendant) I've always stayed far away altogether; however, it recently dawned on me that they're "Shappy's mints" & there will invariably be more from where they came from - at no expense to the people "attending" the bathroom.
Have you ever taken a mint from the Brooklyn Bowl bathroom and not given a tip?

The few left over union
The few left over union bathroom attendants that I've encountered in the last few years are only capable of standing by the sinks, half asleep. It's not like there's a high demand for a dippity-do bottle w a barber comb submerged in it.

But, you mean to say that Shappy doesn't want to ante up a few coins to stock them with a few Life Savers to help generate tips?

You seem to be considering it when you posted:
"...however, it recently dawned on me that they're "Shappy's mints" & there will invariably be more from where they came from - at no expense to the people "attending" the bathroom."
Please let me know if I read that wrong.

Sure I have. Many of them are shit holes. Plenty are clean. Some even have attendants that sit by the sink wearing staff jackets that do nothing.

The gentlemen (and ladies)
Im scared of the gentlemen (and ladies) who "attend" bathrooms. Kind of like clowns. I don't know why. And who minds the porcelain if its a gender neutral spot? I once gave a guy 5 dollars not to greet me and to leave the bathroom for a few minutes. Ok, not really. But I would. I tip everybody though.

Not going to pretend it's my favorite venue, nor that I have don't big issues with their "upsell" model (in light of Shappy's PR spin on his GD "roots"), but I have given credit where it is due.
- for what it is, it's run well & professionally
- security has mostly been very mellow & unobtrusive
- when it's about 75% full or less and upper deck is open to GA, it's VERY nice / plush / spacious

Honestly I've never in the past frequented a women's bathroom.
Seriously though.... There is no need for an attendant that stands there collecting tips while the lowliest immigrant picks up shit paper.

The ladies room attendant at The Ardmore Music Hall in Pa, is a wonderful, funny and lovely being. She always greets me with a smile and hands me a paper towel after I wash my hands :) I look forward to seeing her and take her earrings,hair clips and goodies when I go. She is just one of the staff that make up a wonderful music venue to go and hear great music.

The Attendants are a Las
The Attendants are a Las Vegas thing. This company has a lot of accounts. There are Attendants in both Men's and Ladies Rooms. They get paid something an hour by the place. Not sure what. They wipe down the sinks and clean up the towels. With a lot of drunk folks in there it's also good to have someone watching it. They sell toiletries and Candy and Cigarettes. They get to keep the mark up. I'm sure they sell a lot of Cigarettes. They don't want the place giving them stock, they want to sell it for themselves.

^ I was going to say, if they're "personally" supplying items ... I doubt it'd pass muster with health codes.
If you watch carefully, some of the "attendants" are always moving (kind of like people on carnival stilts) - dodging back and forth in a careful dance to "be in the way", yet at the same time not get in your way. I personally would never want to have such a job unless it was one of the only options to put food in my family's mouth. Likewise, I'd never put anyone else in that position ... unless we're talking about some sort of establishment in or around an assisted living facility dealing with the elderly who legitimately need help.

OK ned, if you've got the line on everything as far as "what makes sense" ... why do we "need" bathroom attendants?
