Aggressive Men's Room Attendant @ P10

[phizz]

I was unexpected confronted by an overly aggressive attendant in the men's room who demanded tips and verbally assaulted me when he got nothing out of me. Here are the details.



I went to P10 on Sunday night (1/16) and spent a few hundred on dances and tipping girls on-stage. By 1AM Monday morning, I took off before the clubs and bars closed and before all the drunks got on the roads. Just before leaving, I decided to use the restroom. I stepped up to the sink and was greeted by a men's room attendant. He was in his late 20s early 30s, black, short buzzed haircut, wearing black slacks, black button-down shirt, and a formal black and grey/silver vest that looks like the type of vest high schoolers rent to go to the prom.


Before he could put soap in my hands, I used the wall soap and as I was washing and drying my hands, I immediately knew things were going to get hostile when early on, he was already getting extremely pushy with the extra things laying around the sinks. "Sir, would you care for any fresh mints?" "No thanks" "I have chocolates, gum, mints. I have cologne blahblahblah." "No man I'm good but thanks." He tried handing me a paper towel, but I grabbed my own instead. As I'm drying my hands he says, "Just to let you know, we operate on tips." I said, "I understand" but gave no sign or even a distant hint of tipping him.


As I finished drying my hands and threw my paper towel in the trash, he began raising his voice at me and taking on an accusatory tone as though I was essentially walking out on my tab! "WAIT SIR SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO AT LEAST TIP SOMETHING?? THATS HOW I MAKE MY LIVING!!!" He seemed livid and outraged at the same time.


I politely and calmly explained, "I don't need any mints, chocolates, or cologne. So therefore I don't need to tip you." "Sir... I am a restroom attendant put here to provide a service..." I interrupted, "A service that I AM NOT USING but go on...." He was still aggressive and angry, "Look man you gotta tip me. That's just not right!" I said, "Don't you realize a tip is consensual, not an obligation?" "Yeah but..." "Then there ya go! Have a good night!" and as I walked through the door and was walking away, I heard him yell, "Have a good night you F#%kin A##hole!!!"


For the past 5 years, I go to the clubs every night in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and Austin. I have VIP memberships at most clubs. To be honest with you, I have never been that aggressively confronted by a pushy men's room attendant anywhere in the entire state of Texas. All I am saying is, watch out for this men's room attendant who seems to work Sunday nights at P10 San Antonio. He is way too aggressive and confrontational demanding unearned, and unjustified tips. I described what he looks like and when he works. Watch out for him.

There are 2 or 3 attendants. Is he the extremely tall one? Or the one thats not as tall but he has a superspread layout, having black and red clothes around the sink? Lol. Yeah, it does stink they think you owe them for using the restroom.

Great question. He is the shorter one not as tall super spread layout with black and red clothes everywhere around the sink. I had completely forgotten about him from a month or two back. He got really pushy with me back then but I bailed out ASAP before it could turn into an argument. The last time he got pushy, I didn't even look at him and exited fast after cleaning my hands. This time, I recognized his voice from the last time and I'm sure he recognized me as well.


What's crazy is that he had a full tip jar. He wasn't hurting for money. I am very confident that he seriously is under the impression that EVERYONE is obligated to tip him regardless of whether or not they are using the things he has out there. Everyone. Period.



I will take it even one step farther. I firmly believe that more than 8 people out of 10 are tipping that restroom attendant out of intimidation and to avoid a negative confrontation. Because he tries to lay it on hard. I'm a big dude man. Rarely does anyone get pushy with me regardless of race or background. For the P10 men's room attendant to go off on me that aggressively over a tip says he's using that approach to try and intimidate everyone coming through there. His tip jar was fuller than anyone I've ever seen in there even on a Friday night. Clearly he views the tip as a TAX to get past the sink!



And I would tip him... if I was using his stuff, but I'm not. He needs to be held accountable. He also needs to learn it's each person's choice as to whether or not they are partaking in his offerings. If not, there's no obligation to tip.

The extremely tall one is actually cool. I get along with him really well and he's funny.

Used to work as an attendant there same guy who runs it also runs sugars, and a few other locations he wants 50% of your tips he actually works as an attendant himself at p10s usually. Seemly just hire anybody as their turnover is quite high

Shows how dumb the club owners are. I mean, do you really need someone to open a water faucet for you? Plus you can carry your own gum, etc. if you really NEED gum/mints, etc. I dont usually tip the fatties on stage cause I dont usually have any ones on me so the towel guy doesnt get anything either.

You witness an encounter in the potty room with these players and the aggressive toilet monitor?

They call them "gentleman's clubs" trying to put out some image of being a classy place, and then they screw that up by placing these trolls in their men's rooms .....
