On the spectrum of that which is chill and unchill, bathroom attendants slot towards the end of the latter. This truly is a troubling trend.
1. I just feel really bad for the person who's "tending" the bathroom. It's a pretty depressing job.
2. It's a very unnecessary job. Who the hell walks out of a bathroom thinking "I really wish I didn't have to reach for that paper towel. If only there was someone there to hand it to me."
3. It encourages dudes to spray more crappy cologne on.
4. Maybe I'm cheap, but I hate the prospect of having to tip a dollar for someone to hand me a paper towel that I prefer to reach for myself. It's very awkward. Sometimes I avoid this exchange by not washing my hands (which isn't really that big a deal in the first place. I may blog about this later). Sometimes, I feel so awkward that I'll just try to hold it and avoid the bathroom altogether.
5. It's really creepy to have some guy sitting on a stool right behind you while you're taking care of business. Really creepy.
6. I think club owners think this classes up the joint, but it definitely has the opposite effect with me. I will always avoid clubs/bars/restaurants with bathroom attendants.

Are you talking about Reginald Johns? The world class bathroom attendantologist that was handing you wet-wipes under the stall door? He is truly a master craftsman. Who else could pack a sink area to the brim with High Karate Cologne and defective restaurant mints? You should just do what I do when a man tries to touch your hands after you touch your penis, pat him on the shoulder and with a smug smile say, "thank you."
Clean restrooms are vital to running a classy, upscale venue. The restroom attendant ensures this in three ways:
1)He cleans up your misfired sprays and explosive fecal matter releases;
2)His presence embarasses you into courtesy flushes, and actually sitting on the toilet instead of expelling your waste material from a distance of six to twelve inches above the STD laden toilet seat;
3)He gives you gum and shit that make you happier and improve your hygiene. Nicer smelling and happier customers don't abuse bathrooms, studies have borne this out.
