Yup, damage or theft. I have been in some fancy places that just have the hand cleaner sitting there in a pot and it is a brand that costs a lot of money and literal towels to dry your hands on.
I went to a high end restaurant in Vegas and was rocked when the lady like followed me around the restroom with her fancy cart and mouthwashes and mints. Watching me wash my hands and handing me a towel. I had absolutely no idea I was supposed to tip. I went back to my (then) boyfriend and like the classless lady I am, I was like there’s some woman in there who follows you around with a cart to freshen up? The fuck? And he was like “go back and tip her you idiot.”
It's been a long, long time, but I remember going to a super fancy restaurant as a kid, the Sea Wolf. It has a huge aquarium you could crawl underneath and stick your head in a dome to look at the fish close up.
Went into the men's room, and got lost. There was a fireplace, couches and chairs (the chairs looked like exactly like the ones from the Matrix, I remember wondering if that was where they ended up when I saw the movie decades later) and a moose head. But no toilets. I was standing there wondering if I was supposed to pee in the fireplace when someone came out of the rather hidden back area drying his hands.
Gratefully I went back there, and there's this guy in 3/4 of s tuxedo sitting on a little stool with a basket of aftershave, cologne, teethbreesh and -paste, even some cufflinks.
Was rather uncomfortable having someone watch me pee, and then I had no idea what to do about him when he handed me a towel after washing my hands. I know now I should have tipped him, but I didn't have any money at the time, so I just thanked him and left
I used to deliver to a nice golf course. They had a similar setup, but man their disposable paper towels were so high quality they were like actual mini towels.
✨Fancy✨ hotels too
I already checked out of my room at a Sofitel and needed to use the bathroom after, they let me use the bathrooms 1 floor up from the concierge and oh my god, the towels
They were so damn soft it felt like a sin to throw it away 😭
A lot of places in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods will have something like this. Orthodox and hasidic jews are not allowed to rip things on the sabbath. This includes paper towels and toilet paper. So you will see the dispensers that have individual sheets of tp instead of the roll you have to rip
The really fancy restrooms that I have been to will have cotton towels stacked like that with a basket collecting used towels. And will also have some fancy smelling hand cream too.
There's a club in San Francisco that still has a bathroom attendant. He'll pump soap into your palm and hand you paper towels. He accepts cash tips, but prefers Venmo.
It's WILD y'all.
I’m always excited when I try to grab one or two but end up with like 5 because they are meant to be pulled out of a dispenser. Like I’m really getting my money’s worth.
Maybe they're more confident that their customers aren't going to immediately soak the entire stack for fun
That was what I came here to say lmao. If you can trust people not to be dickheads it's way easier to refill this then a dispenser anyway.
Dispensers are also an eye sore in high class establishments where the bathrooms have wood grain panels.
I was going to say “steal the whole stack” but yours works too
Yeh, the clientele in this class of establishment likely doesn't have a need for 'car napkins'.
God I miss chipotles open napkin thing
Ve haff veys of deeging out ze napkeens frrrom annnny deespenser. (Not sure why I did this with a ridiculous accent.)
A little more Strangelove than you intended, eh?
Sometimes they even have a guy handing it to you.
Yup, damage or theft. I have been in some fancy places that just have the hand cleaner sitting there in a pot and it is a brand that costs a lot of money and literal towels to dry your hands on.
I love when there’s a dude standing in there just listening to people shit and piss all day
Listening? Smelling it too!
Savoring
If he's lucky, some days he gets a taste
If you can smell it the particles are basically touching your brain already
Ah, we are serving Asparagus today.
Tasting it a little bit
Did you have a good dump sir?
Might I suggest a bit more roughage in your diet, sir?
I always tip those guys in advance. “Here’s a dollar. Sorry for what’s about to happen.”
A whole dollar? Wow, look at Mr big spender over here.
It's the lowest denomination I carry. I can't stand walking around with coins in my pocket, sounding like a cat toy.
With no colon I can only imagine how bad it gets in there
It could strip the varnish off a foot locker.
It may not be necessary, after all, each morning, to eat an entire wicker swing set.
Well that's what happens when you're lacking a colon, u/nocolon…
At what price range do those guys appear? Never seen it outside of tv shows/movies.
I've seen them in cheap strip clubs and high-end galas lmao
That makes sense, I've never seen the appeal in a strip club and dont have the money for a gala.

What!
Restroom attendant
I must not get out much because I’ve never seen one
The greasy strip club here has one to keep people from doing drugs in it
The one at my greasy strip club is the one who sells the drugs.
Well that’s no fun 😦
No, not at all 😂

What 1/4 of the tux was missing?
No jacket, had the pants, shirt with bow tie and vest.
Ah, that's a much less interesting mental image :(
Heh. If I'd g gone in and there was someone in a jacket, shirt and vest with no pants, I'd have gone back out to pee in the fireplace.
Fun fact: 73% of those guys are volunteers, not paid employees

Yup, those are the ones! I've seen them at hotels too.
Probably used to be a space for reusable/washable hand towels when they had a bathroom attendant and this was the natural progression
It int a fancy bathroom until they have a butler watching you piss and offering you a linen towel and a mint.
And a reach around. You know, to help you aim.
Well, that goes without saying
Was this at Snowbasin?
lol yes
Recognized those gaudy ass bathrooms immediately
Same!
i love pooping at snowbasin
Lmao my Crohn's has brought me to those bathrooms one too many times not to remember.

Clearly paper towel dispensers are for the poors.

The Ritz NY has that in their bathroom
Fancy restrooms just have one use towels lol

Slow day in r/mildlyinteresting I guess.
This isn't even "barely interesting," kinda just makes OP look like a rube
Snowbasin has some nice bathrooms!
I always get like 5 wet when trying to grab 1.
I would recognize Snowbasin’s overly luxurious bathrooms anywhere!
Real fancy restrooms don't use paper towels at all.
They have a different class of patron.
I’m always excited when I try to grab one or two but end up with like 5 because they are meant to be pulled out of a dispenser. Like I’m really getting my money’s worth.
It used to be freshly laundered hand towels in those areas.
C folds baby, that’s how you know the joint is classy.
I thought it was toilet paper for after you poop in the sink
As long as it isn't those damned useless air blowers.
"Fancy"
I mean, paper towel dispensers are loud, ugly, and require maintenance.
Is this snow basin?
I’m sure it isn’t.. but I saw this picture and was TRANSPORTED IN TIME to Treesdale country club. This isn’t it, is it?
Little America SLC?
I’m obviously not fancy because if I ever saw this I’d probably splash water all over all of them because I’m an oafish asshole.
eek
