StrangeSox Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 11:56 AM) Yeah eff those guys. It's obvious they have a plethora of better job opportunities and selected bathroom attendant as a career choice. Make that job illegal so those worthless people can become homeless. It's a pretty s***ty job and it's s***ty that some people are essentially forced to do that. It's usually weird and makes everyone uncomfortable, and they're stuck standing in a bathroom all night.

Soxbadger Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) I've also heard they're there to discourage drug use in the bathrooms at clubs/venues, but I dunno how true that is. They discourage sex because its harder to get a girl in the guys bathroom. Doesnt really impact drug use, could impact someone oding on floor.

They come to your door with all this s*** and say, hey for free ill do this service. We had to kick out a few that were peddling coke on the side. Now THAT guy was smart.

Iwritecode Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) I think bathroom attendants are worse than the bums that think you need help calling for a cab, but it's sure close. I honestly don't think I've ever experienced either one of these things. I knew they existed but I've never run into one. Either I need to get out more or live in a bigger city.

Soxbadger Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ive always assumed that they can all get drugs, I just have a general rule about not buying drugs from someone in a bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 09:52 AM) Admittedly I got used to it, but when i first moved to the area it was a little quieter. Just wait till the summer and the motorcycles get going. When Plush was running there was a biker night. I called the cops on that guy yelling a few times, I went out there and gave him money to move down the street and finally after he came back I popped him in the leg with a plastic BB. Never came back after that. You forget I was here in July/August/September, so I went through all that s*** too LOL. Now that it's cold, it's 20x better. Not as many idiots blaring with the windows down. But, I always know when there's a concert because 11pm hits and there's homeless guys yelling everywhere. It makes people feel so uncomfortable, you can see them getting their own cab because, you know, they can raise their own hand. Speaking of Plush, I heard the story about the guy that was stabbed in the neck there and they dragged him out to the street before calling the cops. Sounded like a classy place. Really surprised it got shut down. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) Seriously? Look, if this is all they have to make money then that sucks immensely, but too many of them berate customers that don't tip them. That's f***ing s***ty, I don't want to have you looking at me while I'm pissing, hand me a towel from a machine, and expect me to pay you. I've crossed off a lot of bars for having those guys there. Same here. QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 13, 2013 -> 03:50 PM) I honestly don't think I've ever experienced either one of these things. I knew they existed but I've never run into one.

Rowand44 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Ive seriously almost decked the cab waiver downer guy but talk about not worth it. And the bathroom attendants are the worst. I feel bad for them but I'm not tipping to go to the bathroom. As a previous poster said, they're all around Wrigley now and it's annoying as hell.

qwerty Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Ever been in a bar that they sell packs of cigarettes or simply loosies out of the washroom? I have been in two, and they make a killing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Family drama is the best. My mom had a huge falling out with her family a few years back and now the same thing is happening with my dad and his family and I'm getting bombarded with phone calls because of it. It always starts over stupid s*** too, just leave me out of it. Edited December 15, 2013 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly just vicious emails, texts and calls going back and forth. I've just started ignoring every text and call I'm getting from everyone.

For the current wave of graduates - not as fun - since their starting salaries have been dropped to about poverty level. The two entry-level people I hired a few months ago have no plans of moving out of their parents' homes... because surviving on $25k is next to impossible in Chicagoland. Entry level salaries were so much higher when I graduated just 8 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rent in Chicago in LP where I lived was around 600/person/month. I also got a bar job on the side on the weekends for extra cash.

It's crazy how salaries are not proportionate to s***. Yeah let's pay those McDonald's workers $15/hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
