    Just feel sorry for them. Going to work for eight hours of shitter duty.

    That's symptomatic of ATMs now dispensing nothing less than 20s (or in the case of casinos, 100s). If the ATM is in a place where employees work for tips, they should dispense 5s.

    The ladies room at Balthazar had an attendant, too. Didn't like that much.

    Read "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" for a look at a bathroom attendant from the man's son's point of view. Hideous fucking narrator, indeed.

    No shit. You have any idea how hard it is to install a toilet cam when there's somebody keeping an eye on things?
    I mean, what?

    There was a bathroom attendant at the airport in Cancun several years ago. Or maybe he was just blocking the paper towel dispenser until I gave him some money. Either way, it was awkward.

    I don't need my shoulders brushed by a stranger in a men's room. Creepy.

    I never find myself in a place that sports a bathroom attendant -- journo's salary and all -- but if I find myself in a place that does, I'm going to suspend my home bowl rule just to see how much the dude can take.


    And before I get too much hate, I'd either tip well or be put on the PUP list.

    The only restaurant I've dined at with a bathroom attendant was a Planet Hollywood in Phoenix. It was a school trip, and I was 16 and from Alabama. I had no idea what the hell the guy was doing in there.

    Balthazar should definitely just go away.

    Another one is the Water Club -- on the East River in Kips Bay. It supposedly sells its view and its atmosphere, but it has foofy restaurant prices and delivers mediocre food. ... and bathroom attendants. It makes me laugh. Near as I can tell it attracts old people who go out of habit and regular people who think it is "classy" for a special occasion. But when I saw the bathroom attendant last time, all it made me think about was a bad Bar Mitzvah.
